Rumors about a potential shutdown of LIV Golf are intensifying, fueled by an upcoming emergency meeting in New York City. A player agent suggested that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman may use the ongoing war as a reason to end the league, though details remain unclear.
The LIV Golf rumors continue to swirl with questions about a potential shutdown or something else, with a report that there's an "emergency" meeting that will happen in New York City.
But what's the reason behind this chatter? What changed recently? That's something we don't have enough information on at the moment, but longtime golf writer Alan Shipnunck shared something he heard from "a tapped in player agent" who texted him this: “Have heard MBS wants to use the war as Force Majeure to pull the plug.”
That would be Mohammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. But Shipnuck also said "no one knows anything," so there might be much, much more coming as the mystery behind the rumors unfolds.
We'll see if this is truly the case, hopefully soon.
