Reports suggest that LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf league, may be facing a potential shutdown due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran. Golf writer Alan Shipnuck noted that a player agent indicated the Saudis might use the situation as a reason to cease operations. This uncertainty follows an emergency meeting held by LIV Golf executives in New York just before the Mexico City event. Despite the speculation, players have reported minimal communication regarding the league's future, continuing their routines as usual. The Mexico City tournament, scheduled to take place at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico, is still set to proceed with the first round starting on Thursday, April 19. Players like Caleb Surratt and Jon Rahm are expected to participate, with tee times already announced.
