Saudi-Backed LIV Golf Tour Reportedly Holding 'Emergency Meeting' Amid Social Media Chatter That It's About to Shut Down

Executives from LIV Golf were reportedly summoned for an “emergency media” amid speculation that the Saudi-backed golf tour will soon shut down.

News of the meeting was confirmed in a Wednesday report by The Telegraph. The tour was scheduled to hold its next tournament in Mexico City this weekend, but the pre-tournament press conference was suddenly canceled due to supposed technical issues. As noted by The Telegraph, it was the first time in LIV’s history that such a conference was canceled.

Chatter about the company’s rumored demise seemed to have stemmed from cryptic social media posts from insider Ryan French, who runs the X/Twitter account Monday Q info. On Tuesday night, French hinted at an upcoming “bombshell announcement” regarding the future of LIV Golf.

He later added that his sources — as well as the sources of others — have all indicated that LIV would be shutting down. Former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo backed the reporting after his own sources indicated that LIV was “preparing to wind down operations as the Public Investment Fund (PIF) reassesses its broader strategy amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.” Wingo added that LIV was “fully funded” through 2031, but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had decided to “pull the rug” on the golf operation.

1. Things change and then they change again. Stay tumed.

Assholes will want to come back to the PGA.

[NeoTrajan]

2. When I retired 4 years ago, I had plans to buy a set of clubs and start visiting the driving range and putting greens

But, being a sturdy liberal atheist, and given that I reject the 'rights of kings', I threw that all away, and decided I needed other pursuits

I will not be giving the Royal family my hard earned money to play golf, period

Fuck that noise

[SCantiGOP]

16. ?? Your money

Would have gone to the golf store and the courses you played on. No Royal Families would be involved.

[IbogaProject]

17. Saudi Royal family owns the LV tournament

[SCantiGOP]

21. I know that

But that doesn’t mean they get any money from an American who buys a set of clubs and plays golf.

3. What next, their Paramount-Warner Bros investment?

[fargone]

13. Crashing LIV might actually be considered a success

27. Wasn't Trump in the USFL (US Football League) too?

Everything Trump Touches Turns To… shit.

[rubbersole]

35. USFL.

He owned the NJ Generals and ended up collapsing the entire league. Because of course he did.

[Hugin]

40. Oh, yes.

I see it listed there now. It was such a flash in the bedpan that I couldn’t remember the details.

[bmichaelh]

41. USFL some details

Here is some detail:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/sep/11/the-day-donald-trumps-narcissism-killed-the-usfl

The USFL was moderately successful to a point, as long as they kept a spring schedule.

It had future Hall of Fame talent like, Reggie White and Steve Young.

But Trump and other owners convinced the other owners to compete in the fall.

It had to fold because it could not compete.

Some observers felt this was a ploy to force a merger,.

USFL sued the NFL for being a monopoly.

They won the case but were only awarded $1, $3 because antitrust awards are tripled.

Many times, court cases are about who has the best narrative.

The NFL attorney called Trump to stand to testify and Trump appeared to be the villain.

Trump and the NFL Commissioner at time, Pete Rozelle, gave conflicting testimonies.

[not fooled]

39. ETTD

In the immortal words of Rick Wilson, "Everything Trump Touches Dies."

[blue-wave]

8. Do I understand this correctly?

There are innocent people being bombed to death in the Middle East. There are innocent people being bombed to death in Ukraine. There are innocent people living in the horror of a war zone throughout the world.

And yet, I should be concerned about the fate of a golf tour? An F'ing golf tour? Something is very wrong in our world.

[AverageOldGuy]

12. Well, it's like this . . .

. . . multi-billionaires have values that are different from those of us peons.

The French royalty called themselves "Blue Bloods" until the common folks decided to chop off a few heads and check it out.

[blue-wave]

18. So, should we oil up the

guillotine? Back then heads were.......

[RandySF]

32. No

But sometimes else might be interested.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. Who will hold golf tournaments at trump's golf courses?

Link to tweet

[snowybirdie]

14. Awwwww

So sorry for the millionaire golfers who left the PGA to take more millions to play for LIV.

[LudwigPastorius]

34. They'll get a finger wag and a slap on the wrist, then the PGA will welcome them back with open arms.

[Crowman2009]

15. Time to break out my tiny violin!

[oasis]

19. So long suckers!

[Prairie Gates]

20. You don't need to hold a whole golf tournament to money launder, it turns out

Anyone associated with this garbage should be ashamed of themselves. Of course, golf as a whole is so thoroughly MAGAfied now that it is impossible to watch anymore.

[Grins]

23. I'm guessing - because they know Trump is dead meat.

They got into golf as a way to get to Trump, and now that door is slamming shut.

[Initech]

24. Fuck the Saudi oligarchs!

[Bluetus]

25. Who could ever have guess that paying Jon Rahm $300,000,000

and an over-the-hill Phil $200,000,000 and so on would not work out?

I mean, when it is too much money for Mr Bonesaw to lose, that's saying something.

But here's the reality. It ain't about the money. MBS still has plenty of money to throw around. This was never about the golf. This was always about bribing Trump. The "emergency meeting" has nothing to do with golf. They are simply deciding that bribing Trump no longer makes much sense because he can't remember who is bribing him for 10 minutes.

[RandySF]

26. I'm not a golf fan but I heard LIV sucks.

[efhmc]

28. Sounds good.

[dweller]

29. well , oh shit

Now the Pisswig will have something new to obsess and rail about and cry how he’s being wronged and cheated and how unfair it is and can stay up all night blasting on his Troot soshul posts … instead of dropping just dead .



cry harder asshole

✌🏻

[Hassler]

30. FAFO Bonesaw. Everything Chump touches dies

[gab13by13]

31. I was about to post the same thing

Krasnov wanted this league to bring down the PGA because it canceled 2 major tournaments at his courses.

[rubbersole]

36. Angered him about as much as the windmills at Turnberry.

Revenge for Donnie Quixote.

[NBachers]

37. Another leak in the ill-fated Hindenburg - Oh, the humanity!

[Eugene]

38. Once more, ETTD. Meanwhile LIV says, "Nothing to see here. Please disperse!"
