that beyond that, the funding is in place.

And that is in contrast to what was being said to the players in South Africa, as I understand it, that the funding was in place till 2032.

That line was coming out in Augusta the week before last as well.

So I think that really lends credence to the story that came out from the MondayQ website and the Financial Times last week that really gave this tale some impetus.

And then, you know…

I got into quite an argument with another golf journalist about this who was having a real go at Arlo White for his interview in the company of David Feherty with Scott O'Neill and saying, you know,

um fast timers out there and uh fast time of you know our demise of greatly exaggerated and and didn't ask you know just genuinely did not ask the question of scott o'neill and my point in defense of arlo was arlo's there to work for live arlo's there to do

what Liv wants him to do.

And whereas Ollie Wilson was out there for TNT and he interviewed Scott O'Neill and quite rightly asked him about the source of funding going forward and got the answer that yielded

real doubt over whether there was going to be any more Saudi Arabian money coming in after 2026.

And him saying, we're like any other business.

We've, we've got to go and chase investment.

Well, so far you haven't been like any other business and now you are.

And so I thought Ollie got the line there and it went up on social media on TNT sports.

And then someone told me about it.

I went and clicked on it and it had been taken down.

Um,

And, you know, that's the world that you're living in here, folks.

And so I think the only kind of conclusion you can draw here is that they're on borrowed time.

But then yesterday you hear that they've booked into Mexico City for 2027.
