在公共投资基金（PIF）终止对该联赛的财务支持后，LIV高尔夫正竭尽所能维持运营——然而，如今它或许需要在没有最佳球员的情况下继续生存。
LIV Golf is doing whatever it can to stay alive after the Public Investment Fund (PIF) ended its monetary commitment to the league — however, it may now need to stay afloat without its best player.
近三年前，当乔恩·拉姆公开批评该联赛后，又以一份据传价值3亿至6亿美元的合同加入其中，震惊了整个高尔夫界。
Jon Rahm shocked the golf world nearly three years ago when, after publicly dismissing the league, he joined it on a deal that was rumored to be between $300 and $600 million.
但在周三的破产听证会上，拉姆的律师表示，他将不会参与被称作“LIV 2.0”的新计划。点击此处查看福克斯新闻的更多体育报道。据Front Office Sports报道，拉姆“已独立审查了LIV 2.0的拟议条款……并认定这些条款对他而言不可接受，因此他未来将不再参与”。
But at Wednesday's bankruptcy hearing, Rahm's attorneys stated that he will not be part of what has been dubbed "LIV 2.0."

PIF于4月暂停了资金注入，以便将资金转向国内项目，并应对与伊朗的地区冲突带来的财务压力。这一决定公布后，PIF主席亚西尔·鲁迈扬辞去了LIV董事会的职务。
The PIF halted funding in April to redirect money toward domestic projects and manage financial pressures from the regional war with Iran. Following the decision, PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan resigned from LIV’s board.
LIV于上个月在新泽西州申请了第11章破产保护。2021年至2026年间，LIV的支出估计在50亿至80亿美元之间。破产文件显示，该联赛拖欠顶级球员数百万美元的报酬，其中包括拉姆、布莱森·德尚博、达斯汀·约翰逊和卡姆·史密斯。
LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey last month. Between 2021 and 2026, LIV spent an estimated $5 billion to $8 billion. Bankruptcy filings show the league owes millions of dollars in unpaid compensation to top players, including Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Cam Smith.
据报道，拉姆尚未获得的报酬超过700万美元，而他“完全愿意履行”原始合同中的条款。
Rahm is reportedly owed more than $7 million and was "more than willing to fulfill" the details of his original contract.
在破产诉讼期间，PIF提供了5000万美元，以帮助LIV支付账单并维持运营。该联赛的未来取决于一项名为“LIV 2.0”的重组计划。LIV高尔夫球员的联赛未来承诺截止日期被推迟，首批3亿美元资金已到位。根据该提案，总部位于伦敦的私募股权公司BC Partners（与球员经纪公司GSE Worldwide有财务关联）将为2027年的重启提供资金。该计划还将赋予球员对联赛的多数所有权。
PIF provided $50 million to help LIV pay its bills and continue operating during the bankruptcy case. The league’s future depends on a proposed restructuring plan called "LIV 2.0." DEADLINE FOR LIV GOLFERS TO COMMIT LEAGUE'S FUTURE PUSHED BACK AS INITIAL $300 MILLION IN FUNDING PUT IN PLACE Under the proposal, London-based private equity firm BC Partners, which has financial ties to player agency GSE Worldwide, would fund a 2027 relaunch. The plan would also give the players majority ownership of the league.
LIV已经解雇了大部分运营人员，让赛事承包商迟迟收不到款项，同时还面临来自Premier高尔夫联赛的诉讼，该诉讼指控其违反保密协议并存在共谋行为。
LIV has laid off most of its operational staff, left event contractors waiting for payment and faces a lawsuit from the Premier Golf League alleging breach of confidence and conspiracy.
布鲁克斯·科普卡是首位离开LIV高尔夫的知名选手，他于去年年底离队，并重返PGA巡回赛。帕特里克·里德不久之后也步了他的后尘。
Brooks Koepka was the first big name to leave LIV Golf, doing so late last year and returning to the PGA Tour. Patrick Reed followed in his footsteps shortly after.

在PIF撤回资金后不久，LIV首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔曾表示LIV的赛事日程不会改变，但实际情况并非如此。该联赛原定的冠军周末赛事被取消，被迫提前一周举行。
Shortly after the PIF pulled its funding, LIV CEO Scott O'Neil said the LIV calendar would not be altered, but that did not occur. The league's originally-scheduled championship weekend was cancelled, forcing it to be played a week earlier.
拉姆是两届大满贯冠军，曾赢得2021年美国公开赛和2023年大师赛。在去年举行的莱德杯比赛中，他与泰雷尔·哈顿是欧洲队中仅有的两名LIV高尔夫选手。OutKick的亚历杭德罗·阿维拉为这篇报道做出了贡献。
Rahm is a two-time major winner, winning the 2021 U.S. Open and the 2023 Masters. He and Tyrell Hatton were the lone LIV Golfers on Team Europe during last year's Ryder Cup.
