A day later, LIV Golf executives and players were in Mexico City for a four-day tournament that ends Sunday. CEO Scott O'Neil spoke on Thursday about the financial speculation on the league.
"This notion of secret meetings and, you know, getting summoned to New York. I live in New York, so it's easy to summon myself there," O'Neil told LIV Golf commentator Arlo White. "But it's a lot of reaching and grabbing for headlines."
O'Neil went on to say, "For us, we're business as usual, but if you want to ask me if this business is tough, I would say absolutely. If you ask me if we were managed very tightly, I would say absolutely. Can this be challenging? Absolutely. And that's what we signed up for. ... we signed up for this adventure and it is the ride of a lifetime. Or should I say round of a lifetime."
Yes, LIV Golf has confirmed that the Indianapolis tournament is 'full steam ahead' as scheduled for August.
Rumors suggest that LIV Golf may be facing funding issues and could potentially shut down operations.
