Discussion about LIV’s future went into overdrive earlier this month as the tour prepared for its latest event in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Several media outlets – across golf, sports news and finance – reported its imminent closure, before chief executive O’Neil insisted it was business as usual in a tubthumping email to staff.<\/p>\n
