LIV Golf funds Korea Open purse amid league uncertainty
The Korea Open purse will rise by $500,000 thanks to LIV Golf funding, producing the event's largest prize pool to date amid questions about LIV's future. The boost comes despite shutdown rumors surrounding the league.
A separate development centers on Trey Wingo's apology for misreporting around LIV Golf's demise. The league's future is described as uncertain beyond 2026, with remarks during a Mexico City broadcast by CEO Scott O’Neil indicating LIV is fully funded through 2026 but with major uncertainty beyond that. Reports had circulated that the Saudi Public Investment Fund is the league's major financial backer.
