LIV Golf meeting in New York fuels speculation over rebel tour’s future

• Senior leadership not in Mexico City for LIV tournament

• Saudi focus now more on football and e-sports

LIV Golf executives have been called to a meeting in New York amid growing speculation over the future of the Saudi Arabia-funded rebel tour.

Rumours that LIV could soon be shut down had begun to circulate on social media on Tuesday evening with officials from the tour declining to respond. LIV’s next event in Mexico City will begin as planned on Thursday, although as first reported by the Daily Telegraph, the tour’s senior leadership were all absent having been diverted to New York.
