Overview
- LIV chief Scott O’Neil said PIF money does not extend beyond the 2026 season in a TNT Sports interview that was later deleted.
- He said the league is funded for the current season and told staff the schedule will run as planned.
- During the Mexico City opener, LIV’s own commentators dismissed collapse reports, and the YouTube stream went dark for more than 30 minutes.
- TNT later posted a shortened version of O’Neil’s interview that omitted his remark about future funding.
- Louisiana officials asked LIV to confirm the status of a June New Orleans event and warned they can claw back incentive money if it falls through.
