We are heading into the heart of our 2026 schedule with the full energy of an organisation that is bigger, louder, and more influential than ever before.”</p><p>Left unclear was how long the funding would last for LIV Golf, which launched in June 2022 by paying roughly $1 billion in signing bonuses to some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names, such as Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm.</p><p>Prize money for individuals and the 13 teams was raised to $30 million this year.</p><p>Koepka since has left LIV and was allowed to rejoin the PGA Tour this year with stipulations. Patrick Reed also left LIV and is playing a European tour schedule this year. He is virtually certain to be eligible to return to the PGA Tour in 2027 through the European tour points race.</p><p>Questions about LIV’s future funding were raised as the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia revealed a new five-year investment strategy.</p><p>“The 2026-30 strategy marks a natural evolution as PIF moves from a period of rapid growth and acceleration to a new phase of sustained value creation, with a strengthened focus on maximising impact, raising the efficiency of investments, and applying the highest standards of governance, transparency and institutional excellence,” the PIF said in a release.</p><p>The plan was developed before the U.S.-Israel war against Iran. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the PIF governor who loves golf and was behind LIV Golf, told the London-based <i>Financial Times</i>, “Of course, the war would add more pressure to reposition some priorities.”</p><p>LIV players at Chapultepec Golf Club for LIV Golf Mexico, which starts on Thursday, did not have answers as speculation ran rampant throughout the day.</p><p>One player said Al-Rumayyan met with players in the first week of March in Hong Kong and said funding for LIV was set through 2032. The player spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was private. The player also said O’Neil arrived in Mexico City on Wednesday and was to meet with the players.</p><p>LIV Golf promoted the Mexico event on Wednesday evening on social media with the message, “Slow news day? We are ON.”</p><p>LIV has played five events this year, in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa. It celebrated an inspirational victory at its biggest event in Australia when Anthony Kim won after the American had been away for 12 years while battling drug and alcohol addiction.</p><p>DeChambeau won the last two events in playoffs, and this week tries to become the first LIV player to win three in a row. DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, missed the cut in the Masters last week.</p><p>LIV’s focus has been on a global reach, with its first U.S. tournament not scheduled until May 7-10 at Trump National in northern Virginia.</p><p>“The life of a startup movement is often defined by these moments of pressure,” O’Neil said. “We signed up for this because we believe in disrupting the status quo. We have faced headwinds since the jump, and we’ve answered every time with resilience and grace. Now, we answer by doing what we do best: putting on the most compelling show in sports.”</p><p>He ended his note to the staff by saying, “We are pioneers, and while the road isn’t always smooth, the destination is worth every mile. Let’s go out and show the world why LIV Golf is the future of the game.”</p><p>LIV is in the second year of a <i>Fox Sports</i> television deal, with the network putting it on various platforms like FS1. The opening round of the Mexico event has three hours on the <i>Fox Sports</i> app. The previous two years, its U.S. broadcast partner was the <i>CW.</i></p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 17, 2026</p></div> #LIV #Golf #CEO #show #reports #Saudi #Arabia #funding #uncertainty

Deadspin | Peyton Stearns earns chance to face 3-time Madrid champ Jul 30, 2025; Montreal, QC, Canada; Peyton Stearns (USA) returns the ball to Emma Raducanu (GBR) in second round play at IGA Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images Peyton Stearns defeated France’s Lois Boisson 6-1, 6-3 in 65 minutes as first-round action got underway Tuesday at the Mutua Madrid Open. Stearns’ reward is a matchup with defending champ and No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, a three-time winner of the WTA 1000 clay-court tournament in the Spanish capital. Stearns never trailed in her opener, saving both break points she faced and converting four of her six break chances against Boisson. Fellow American Venus Williams was not as fortunate against 20-year-old Spaniard Kaitlin Quevedo, who prevailed 6-2, 6-4 in one hour and 43 minutes. It was the 10th straight singles loss for Williams, 45, an invited player who was competing on clay for the first time since Roland Garros in 2021. Williams, whose sister Serena won this event in 2012 and 2013, won her first WTA title in 1998 — eight years before her opponent was born. Of the 10 singles matches played Tuesday, only one went to three sets. Austria’s Julia Grabher outlasted Spain’s Paula Badosa 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-0 in two hours and 32 minutes. Camila Osorio of Columbia needed only 65 minutes to complete a 6-0, 6-3 win against Russia’s Anastasia Zakharova. Poland’s Magda Linette defeated Robin Montgomery 6-4, 6-3.

Peyton Stearns defeated France’s Lois Boisson 6-1, 6-3 in 65 minutes as first-round action got underway Tuesday at the Mutua Madrid Open.

Stearns’ reward is a matchup with defending champ and No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, a three-time winner of the WTA 1000 clay-court tournament in the Spanish capital.

Stearns never trailed in her opener, saving both break points she faced and converting four of her six break chances against Boisson.

Fellow American Venus Williams was not as fortunate against 20-year-old Spaniard Kaitlin Quevedo, who prevailed 6-2, 6-4 in one hour and 43 minutes. It was the 10th straight singles loss for Williams, 45, an invited player who was competing on clay for the first time since Roland Garros in 2021.


Williams, whose sister Serena won this event in 2012 and 2013, won her first WTA title in 1998 — eight years before her opponent was born.

Of the 10 singles matches played Tuesday, only one went to three sets. Austria’s Julia Grabher outlasted Spain’s Paula Badosa 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-0 in two hours and 32 minutes.

Camila Osorio of Columbia needed only 65 minutes to complete a 6-0, 6-3 win against Russia’s Anastasia Zakharova. Poland’s Magda Linette defeated Robin Montgomery 6-4, 6-3. Hungary’s Anna Bonder posted a 6-2, 6-3 win against Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become a poster boy for Indian cricket after notable performances in the domestic circuit, the under-19s and in the IPL where he scored a record-breaking century in his debut season (2025) for the Rajasthan Royals.

He has taken it one notch higher this term, already accumulating 246 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 236.54 including two fifties. With growing shouts over his inclusion in the Indian team, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes he is ready to don the national team colours.

“Looking at IPL as a platform, to stake a claim for the Indian T20 team and keeping an eye on his performances in the Syed Mushtaq Ali as well, where he’s got a 100 [vs Maharashtra], I think he’s done enough. If somebody’s lighting up this stage with this performance, then he’s ready,” Manjrekar said on Sportstar’s Insight Edge podcast.

However, he explained that his inclusion will not be straightforward due to the long list of openers waiting in the wings for India in the shortest format, including his RR teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal and Test skipper Shubman Gill.

“He might be ready, but are the others ready to make way for it? Because there is a huge crowd to bat at number one and two for India currently,” he reasoned.

The former Mumbai batter pointed out that the Bihar prodigy belongs to the new-age T20 batters, who have the knack of making space to hit the ball. However, he explained that a lot of work had to be done with his technique if he wishes to become an all-format cricketer.

“Take all the consistent T20 batters in the last few years, Sooryavanshi will stay leg side and hit a ball on middle stump through point because he’s staying leg side of the ball. In Test cricket, the advice is to get close to the ball. You will not get 20 runs in England or Australia, South Africa by staying away from the ball,” he opined.

He further added, “If you want your kid to be famous and rich, T20 batting is for you. If you want him to get the respect of people like us, the critics, then get him to get close to the line of the ball.”
