LIV Golf reportedly canceling its finale makes CEO’s comments about ‘incredible’ Saudis look wildly foolish

Fox News · 3 hours ago

LIV Golf's team championship, the season-ending finale of the Saudi-backed golf league, will reportedly not take place this year, according to a report from Flushing It Golf. The development undercuts recent upbeat remarks from LIV CEO Scott O'Neil about the league's Saudi backers, highlighting the growing difficulties facing the breakaway circuit as it struggles to establish itself, particularly with American audiences.

The report indicates the team championship event has effectively been scrapped for this season, marking a further setback for a competition that has failed to gain the traction its founders hoped for since launching as a rival to the PGA Tour. Commentators have pointed to LIV's ongoing struggles to attract US golf fans as a persistent weakness, with the cancellation seen as further evidence that the league's difficulties are deepening despite public confidence expressed by its leadership.
