LIV Golf Talk of Shutdown Dismissed by Commentator David Feherty
David Feherty, a commentator for LIV Golf, has addressed rumors regarding the potential shutdown of the league. This discussion surfaced during the opening of the tournament broadcast from Mexico City on Thursday.
In a pointed statement, Feherty remarked, “I’ve spent 50 years in professional golf, and I can’t recall a time when such nonsense circulated in just a few days.” He criticized journalists and broadcasters, suggesting that some pride themselves on their craft, while others, he said, lack the insight and expertise they claim.
His comments closely followed those of his broadcast partner, Arlo White, who also spoke against the notion that LIV is nearing its end. White expressed optimism, stating, “I can confidently say that claims about the LIV Golf League’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.” He shared details of a recent conversation with LIV CEO Scott O’Neill, who expressed strong confidence in the league’s future.
Following their remarks, the livestream for the Mexico City tournament encountered issues right after the tournament started, displaying a message about technical difficulties for over an hour. LIV later communicated via social media, apologizing for the inconvenience and attributing the disruption to regional power outages affecting their broadcast.
This challenging start came on the heels of rampant speculation about LIV’s future, which had intensified just a day prior.
Reports circulated that LIV executives recently convened an “emergency summit” in New York to deliberate on the league’s direction. Concerns were raised, particularly following revelations that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, a key financial backer, may be pulling its support after years of altering the golf landscape.
