There are real doubts over where LIV Golf will be in the coming years, with the news that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia plan to withdraw their financial support for the league by the end of the year. Given the money invested so far, it looks set to be incredibly difficult for Scott O’Neil to keep LIV alive.
It is an extremely hard sell when you consider what the PIF spent for little reward. Jon Rahm has a chance to prove just how much faith he has in LIV Golf this year Bryson DeChambeau handed LIV a boost by claiming that he is planning to stay for as long as the league continues to exist. But many are waiting to see what Jon Rahm decides to do.
Rahm made no secret of the money being a factor in his decision to leave the PGA Tour . However, he now has an opportunity to prove just how much belief he had in the league when he shocked the world by signing in December 2023. Certainly, his comments to David Feherty at his unveiling look very interesting now.

I’ve largely spoken about how Seve improved the game of golf in Spain and how I would like to do the same thing over there. If I can reach a bigger audience there, it would be amazing. I do believe this process will help me do that,” he said.
