LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil was given a $6.375 million retention payment less than three months before the tour filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to ESPN. The disclosure came as Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton became the latest star names to confirm they are leaving the breakaway circuit. The departures continue an exodus of top players from LIV Golf, deepening uncertainty about the tour's future even as questions mount over its financial management ahead of the bankruptcy filing.
