"As I walked the property Friday, I was stopped by a LIV security worker. He pulled out his phone and showed me a company chat with a large photo of my The Athletic headshot and said I needed to come with him."
"I asked if there was some sort of security alert sent out on me, and he said yes, there was on Thursday. I don't know how they even knew I was on the property Thursday."
"LIV executives denied knowing anything about the supposed security alert. It wasn't LIV's first questionable incident involving the media."
LIV Golf reportedly placed a security alert on a reporter during its tournament in Mexico, coinciding with rumors of potential funding withdrawal by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The reporter, Brody Miller, encountered a security guard who confirmed the alert and showed a company chat with his photo. LIV executives denied knowledge of the alert. This incident follows a previous occurrence where a reporter's credentials were revoked for not editing questions about Saudi funding during an interview with a golfer.
