Mariners Game #20 Preview and Discussion: SEA at SDP
Mariners face Padres tonight in Game #20 after tough loss.
LIV Golf faced significant technical difficulties during its Mexico City event, with a broadcast outage lasting nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes due to a local power failure. This incident adds to the organization's tumultuous week amid rumors of financial instability.

On Thursday afternoon, LIV Golf traveled to Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City. Arlo White, one of the event's commentators, addressed the alleged issues that surrounded the tour at the beginning of the broadcast. “Reports of the imminent demise of the LIV Golf League were, in fact, greatly exaggerated," White said. "It must be exhausting trying to will the LIV Golf League out of existence. Take the day off, everybody. Enjoy the golf.” Viewers did indeed try to enjoy the golf, and they did for a brief moment after Joaquin Niemann, last year's winner in Mexico, aced his first hole of the tournament on a par-3 hole. However, this was a short-lived sight for viewers, as the broadcast cut to a technical difficulties screen on the LIV Golf YouTube channel, and a frozen frame on Fox Sports.
The broadcast outage was caused by a severe local power outage that interrupted transmissions for nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes.
LIV Golf commentators addressed the rumors during the broadcast, suggesting that reports of the league's imminent demise were exaggerated.
Viewers were able to see only five shots before the broadcast cut to a technical difficulties screen.

This could not have come at a worse time for LIV Golf. YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE at LIV Golf Mexico City pic.twitter.com/Jj5SkbhPRQ
— David Rumsey (@\_DavidRumsey) April 16, 2026 After five grueling minutes, the broadcast was still offline, this time with a white technical difficulties screen. The tour did add music to the technical difficulties screen, though, ensuring viewers were engaged with the broadcast. Okay, we now have a new background, and LIV's theme music, which I actually think is pretty good/catchy, all things considered. pic.twitter.com/1VrgOOBIyq
— David Rumsey (@\_DavidRumsey) April 16, 2026 Just over two and a half hours after first being spotted by viewers, the LIV Golf YouTube broadcast has begun showing play again from Mexico City. The tour didn't need any other reasons to be questioned on social media, but today really didn't help LIV's case around the golf world. **MORE:**How did LIV Golf respond to recent financial reports?
