LIV Golf CEO on his tour's successes, obstacles and ‘purity of mission'
Scott O'Neil started as LIV Golf's new CEO in January, taking over from Greg Norman, who helped launch the breakaway tour and guided it through its first three seasons. The Saudi-funded circuit has made headway in some areas but has faced headwinds in plenty of others. O'Neil spoke with The Washington Post Friday, as LIV's Virginia event prepared to tee off at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, to discuss the state of the league, its successes and its challenges. Some answers have been edited for brevity. Question: When you started this job six months ago, you talked about the headwinds turning into tailwinds. Now that you're halfway through the season, what's surprised you the most? Are the obstacles bigger than you expected? O'Neil: The biggest surprises are, No. 1, we're the good guys. I think I've been really impressed with our players, with our executive team, with the way we approach the world. You know, it's such purity of mission. Second surprise is how cross-cultural golf is. Music, actors and athletes — you cannot turn around without finding somebody else was falling in love with the game of golf. And the numbers would play that stuff out. In terms of the headwinds and the tailwinds, I mean, you know, sports leagues are pretty simple, right? It's competition. Television, marketing, branding, communications, sponsorship, how do you pay for it? Competition side, good strength of field. You know, good young, emerging talent, which has been a wonderful surprise. It looks like young talent emerging will be a good storyline for us going forward. Everybody talks about the guys on top — the [Bryson DeChambeaus] and Jon Rahms — and we should celebrate them and talk about them. But that next tier is pretty wonderful. Question: And the business side? O'Neil: Better than what I thought. Sponsorship's off the charts. We have a good base there with Aramco and Riyadh Air. Our first wave of deals we did with Bahri and Ma'aden, and then we had the [golf-related companies] come quicker than what I've expected — Callaway and Ping, of course. We've announced two more that are coming, Salesforce and MGM. You see the boards out there. Just an unbelievable impact in a year — year-over-year growth is going to be like 10 times. It's a pretty dramatic increase. But yeah, things are in a good place. I feel more bullish today than I did when I walked in the door in January. Question: How urgent is all of this? Any concerns about funding slowing down? O'Neil: I came in really eyes wide open as to what a three-year-old business should look like. And it is — it's a three-year-old business, and that can be a really tough space. So from a pressure standpoint, I've never in my career felt any more pressure externally than I put on myself and the team. And so are expectations high? Yes. I've worked in and around private equity for 12 years now. It's my third project in, and there's a certain expectation when you come in, and it's very consistent [with] my last two opportunities. So this isn't any different than that. But if you're asking me, do I have a sense of urgency? I have a very high motor, and I have a lot of urgency. Question: Do you receive updates on the negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the LIV financier, and the PGA Tour? Does that impact your short- or long-term planning? O'Neil: No updates. I would say, there's no impact or influence. I mean, the PGA Tour seems to be going through a transition of their own, up top, and that will once again provide a new face and less scar tissue and more opportunity at the table. I think that's wonderful. We're wholly focused on our business. It's so different. Question: LIV golfers are still not being recognized by the Official World Golf Rankings, but talks have at least resumed. What's the latest with those discussions? O'Neil: So I've been spending regular time with Trevor Immelman, who's the new chairman [of the OWGR]. I found him very engaging, very smart, very hardworking, very balanced, fair, reasonable. And we've had several discussions, some spirited, some more plain Jane. But I will tell you, when I talk about the ecosystem and all of us wanting what's best for the game of golf, I think I would put Trevor and the board members in that category, and some of them are direct competitors to us, which does add a bit of a complexity. But I think that we're all optimistic that we'll find a way to work within the system to make sure that we have the best, most accurate ranking system we could have. Question: The OWGR has taken issues with some of the things that make LIV unique: smaller fields, 54-hole tournaments, no cutline. Are you considering any changes to the format? O'Neil: We've had so many discussions. I'd rather keep those between me and Trevor. But generally, we love the format. We think, in particular, the shotgun start, I just — I've been reading about pace of play for 15 years in the media; we could do a round in four hours and 35 minutes. So I like the shotgun start quite a bit. But are we stuck in cement on any of our changes? We're a three-year-old league. We're evolving and changing every day. I think we love the format. The players love the format. We're pretty comfortable there. Question: And the team component? That is still core to what LIV wants to be? O'Neil: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Question: LIV has never shared specifics but there's a wide belief that the first wave of contracts might be expiring soon. Player recruitment has certainly slowed, but I wonder if you have any concerns about either retaining players or enticing new ones to join? O'Neil: We don't have any concerns about our players. You know, I would say that we're in a wonderful spot with players, and we don't have any fear that this will continue to be a place that players want to come. Question: What do we make of the Fox deal midway through the season? You'll be head-to-head against the PGA Tour this week, but most of your events have been played abroad and the time difference didn't put you in prime TV spots. Five of your last seven events will be in the U.S. — will that give us a better picture of what the audience appetite is? O'Neil: As you know, Fox is an extraordinary partner. As is ITV in the UK, as is KC Global out in Southeast Asia. So we spent a lot of time with them figuring out how we can invest [to] get the best ratings. With Fox in particular, we're in the U.S. and it's a much better measuring stick as to how we're doing. It's just, there's a complete picture, and that's one important slice of the pie that we're addressing and working on. But yeah, hopefully in the U.S., you'll see it. We're happy to be measured and judged, like everybody else, you know? But … we look at the global view, like the global audience, how many people are watching us around the world? I mean, we're in 872 million homes. If you'd have told me that on my first day here, I would've thought you'd lost your mind — more than double from last year. We're in 120 countries. We're actually testing some technology that takes our broadcasters in their own voice and puts it in other languages. So we're testing that the next two weeks. It'll be really fun. Arlo White in Spanish, you know? Or Korean. Or Chinese. I guess the way we look at television is, we get somewhere between 2½ [million] to 3½ million people watching our events around the world. It's pretty good. Question: You'd mentioned the strength of field being a positive. Obviously some guys are finishing consistently up high, but in the standings, we see some big drops, particularly after the top three and again after the top 10. That doesn't concern you? O'Neil: The numbers would say — we spend quite a bit of time using AI and other tools at our disposal to take a look at our strength and feel good. As you can imagine, strokes-gained analysis and other tools we have at our disposal. We're pretty comfortable with where the strength of field is.

Alex Cora on Hot Seat? Firing of Red Sox Manager Predicted to Come Before All-Star Break
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This was supposed to be the year the Boston Red Sox were back. In 2018, Alex Cora's rookie year as manager, the Red Sox put together the best season in the history of the franchise — a history that dates back to the founding of the American League in 1901. But since 2018, the Red Sox have provided little for their fans to get excited about. In that historic 2018 season, Boston won 108 games, breezing past the 106-year-old team record of 105 in 1912, the first year the Red Sox played in a brand-new facility named Fenway Park. The 1912 Red Sox defeated the New York Giants in the World Series, but took eight games to do it, winning 4-3 with one game tied. The 2018 Red Sox blew away the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. But those glory days seem like distant memories now. From that season, only All-Star slugger Rafael Devers and manager Alex Cora remain — and according to a prediction by one prominent Boston sports commentator, Cora will not last much longer. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 01: Manager Alex Cora #13 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during the first inning against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 01, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 01: Manager Alex Cora #13 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during the first inning against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 01, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images "Cora will be gone by All-Star break," said WEEI Radio personality Jermaine "Wiggy" Wiggins, a former tight end for the New England Patriots and four other NFL teams. "They're going to continue to play like this. They might be double digits (back) when it comes to a wild card spot," Wiggins continued, on a Wednesday broadcast. "I don't think if you're the front office, Breslow and those guys, I think it's time to pull the Band-Aid off. What's $14 million or whatever you owe him?" Wiggins was referring to the fact that the Red Sox, with fewer than 100 games left to play in the season, have performed well below preseason expectations. After an offseason that saw the acquisitions of ace lefty starter Garrett Crochet and two-time World Series-winning third baseman Alex Bregman — as well as former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler and veteran bullpen closer Aroldis Chapman, among others — numerous experts predicted the Red Sox would be a playoff-caliber team. More MLB: Padres Held Call With Red Sox Regarding Jarren Duran Trade, Second MLB Insider Reports Some went so far as to predict that the Red Sox would top the Yankees in winning the AL East, and reach as far as the World Series. All of that remains theoretically possible, of course, but with 64 games in the books, the prognosis doesn't look good. Last year's Red Sox finished at 82-82, their third straight season without topping the .500 mark. After 64 games, that edition sat at 32-32. This year's Red Sox head into a weekend series with their arch rivals, the New York Yankees, at 30-34, two wins behind last year's pace. Perhaps fortunately, the Yankees also got off to a slow start, so the Red Sox are now nine games off New York's pace at the top of the division, compared to 12 1/2 games at the same point last season. On Thursday, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow appeared on WEEI and was asked about Cora's future. While he did not say Cora's job was in danger, he didn't exactly give the 49-year-old manager a ringing endorsement either. More MLB: Watch: Tempers Flare Between Red Sox, Angels as Multiple Players, Coaches Involved "We're always going to be anchored to what is best for the team, and we have a lot of confidence in Alex as the leader of this group," Breslow told Wiggins on the broadcast. "We have conversations daily about everything that we can do to get us back on track. That's where our focus is, and that's where it will remain." Cora missed the COVID-shortened 2020 season as he served a one-year suspension for his role in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal when he was bench coach for that team. Cora returned to the Red Sox in 2021 and led an overachieving roster to 92 wins, a wild card postseason spot, and all the way to the AL Championship Series, where they lost to the Astros in six games. Otherwise, in his five full seasons as Red Sox manager since the triumphant 2018 campaign, Cora has posted only two more winning seasons: 2021 and 2019, when the Red Sox slumped to a third-place finish, and failed to qualify for the playoffs with an 84-78 record — 24 games behind their regular season record the previous year.
