  The LIV GOLF BOMBSHELL with Ryan French of Monday Q Info 20.04.2026 29min

  Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 516 - The LIV GOLF BOMBSHELL with Ryan French of Monday Q Info The future of LIV Golf may be hanging in the balance—and this conversation pulls back the curtain on why. In this episode of Fore Golfers Network, Bill Hobson welcomes Ryan French, founder of Monday Q Info, for a revealing discussion on the reporting that has shaken the golf world. Drawing from multiple sources and extensive behind-the-scenes conversations, Ryan explains why he believes LIV Golf, as we currently know it, may not survive without major structural change. At the center of the discussion is a growing concern over funding. With signs pointing toward the Public Investment Fund (PIF) pulling back from continued financial support, questions are emerging about sustainability, leadership decisions, and long-term viability. The conversation explores how massive losses, shifting priorities, and patience wearing thin could force a dramatic reset for the league. Bill and Ryan also examine LIV's struggle to gain traction in the American market, contrasting it with its success internationally. Marketing challenges, leadership messaging, and public perception all play a role in why the league has yet to truly resonate with U.S. audiences. Beyond the business side, the episode dives into communication breakdowns between LIV leadership and its players, raising concerns about trust, transparency, and organizational stability. There's also discussion about the ripple effects across the golf ecosystem—from venues and vendors to employees whose livelihoods depend on these events. While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: significant change is coming. Whether LIV Golf evolves, is acquired, or fades away, this conversation provides critical insight into one of the most important stories in the sport today. ---------------- Subscribe to the FGN Podcast Watch FGN videos on YouTube Check out our other sports pod: Church Pew Sports TEXT or CALL (989) 272-2383 to share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions
