Players at this week's LIV Golf Andalucia event discussed the tour's uncertain path after the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund withdrew its backing. Sergio Garcia expressed confidence in ongoing efforts while Jon Rahm said he is staying out of investor talks.
Garcia, speaking Tuesday ahead of the event at Valderrama, said there is only a little uncertainty about what comes next. “We’re really excited about the work that our CEO, Scott O’Neil, and his team are putting in,” Garcia said. “We’re very confident that that’s going to happen. It’s just going to look different.” Rahm, in his Monday press conference, made clear he is not taking part in the search for new investors. “My job is to play golf,” he said, adding that he knows nothing about business and has limited time because of his family. Bryson DeChambeau, whose contract ends this year, has been involved in pitches for new funding estimated between $250 million and $350 million. The league has already postponed a planned New Orleans tournament set for June 25-28.
