Well, it turns out that, in the end, the first spokesperson for LIV Golf to speak about the rumours of the possible immediate closure of the Saudi league was Sergio García. With the Tuesday press conferences of Jon Rahm, Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz and Sebastián Muñoz cancelled, supposedly due to technical problems, it turns out that today the first to face the media with the hot potato on the table were the Fireballs of the player from Borriol. And of course, he couldn’t say much either. Perhaps because he didn’t know anything either
Sergio García tried to get through it as best he could, although it wasn’t easy. That said, there’s a small message for Yassir Al Rumayyan in case the closure of LIV Golf is confirmed. “Honestly, we haven’t heard anything beyond what Yassir told us at the start of the year. That he’s with us, that they have a long-term project. And well, honestly, you know how these rumours are. There are always many. And I can’t tell you anything beyond what we already know”. In other words, nothing. What he can say. It gives the impression that the players are completely in the dark
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, Carlos Ortiz spoke to the media at a press conference and no one asked him about the matter. Probably because there was an order from LIV’s press officers who, in turn, do nothing but follow the directives of the top brass
The one who did speak to an American outlet was Brian Rolapp, although he didn’t say much. “I am like everyone else. I’m just reading things as they appear. The only thing I care about is doing what’s best for the PGA Tour… Once there is clarity, we’ll cross that bridge,” he said. Everyone can interpret it as they see fit, but it doesn’t look like there’s an agreement.
