LIV Golf首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔宣布与一名主要投资者达成协议，确保这项联赛在沙特阿拉伯资金枯竭后继续运营[1]。沙特公共投资基金已表示将在2026年后停止为该联赛融资[1]。奥尼尔计划在9月前完成与主要投资者的条款敲定[1]。
该联赛正寻求多家少数投资者的支持[1]。为了吸引顶级球员，LIV Golf已支付九位数奖金，其中单项赛事奖金达到2000万美元[1]。根据新的发展蓝图，LIV Golf将推出"LIV Golf 2.0"计划，其中包含每年10场团队赛事，其中5场在美国举办，5场在世界各地举办[1]。球员将在联赛的新结构中获得重大股权[1]。
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil announced an agreement with a lead investor to sustain the league's operations after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund halts its financing beyond 2026.[1] The deal is expected to be finalized by September, with players set to receive significant equity stakes in the reorganized tour.[1]
The Saudi Public Investment Fund declared it would discontinue funding for LIV Golf after 2026, prompting the league to pursue a new financial structure with multiple minority investors.[1] O'Neil is seeking to stabilize the circuit, which has already distributed nine-figure prize purses to attract elite players, with individual tournament purses reaching $20 million.[1]
Under the "LIV Golf 2.0" initiative, the league plans to expand with ten annual team events—five held in the United States and five across international venues.[1] Since its launch in 2022, LIV Golf has invested substantially in reshaping professional golf's competitive landscape.[1]
