乔恩·拉姆正式退出LIV高尔夫联赛，为此他付出了代价。这位两次大满贯冠军与联赛达成分手协议，同意放弃剩余约1亿美元的欠款。据ESPN援引法庭记录报道，作为协议的一部分，拉姆的姓名、肖像和名誉权将归还给他。
Jon Rahm is officially out of LIV Golf, and it's costing him. The two-time major winner reached a separation agreement with the league in which he agreed to forfeit the remainder of the estimated $100 million owed to him. Rahm will have his name, image, and likeness rights returned to him as part of the deal, ESPN reported, citing court records.
近三年前，拉姆曾公开否定该联赛，随后却加入其中，这一举动震惊了高尔夫界。据传，他的合同金额在3亿至6亿美元之间。
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 million and $600 million.
但上周在破产听证会上，拉姆的律师表示，他不会参与所谓的“LIV 2.0”及其“不可接受”的条款。
But at a bankruptcy hearing last week, Rahm's attorneys stated that he would not be part of what has been dubbed "LIV 2.0" and its "unacceptable" terms.
LIV上个月在新泽西州申请第11章破产保护。2021年至2026年间，LIV估计花费了50亿至80亿美元。破产文件显示，联赛欠包括拉姆、布赖森·德尚博、达斯汀·约翰逊和卡姆·史密斯在内的顶级球员数百万美元的未付薪酬。
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.
公共投资基金4月暂停资助，以将资金转向国内项目，并应对与伊朗地区战争带来的财务压力。该决定之后，公共投资基金总裁亚西尔·阿尔鲁迈扬辞去了LIV董事会职务。
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.
拉姆在过去三年中每年都获得该联赛个人冠军，他的退出可以说是该联赛遭受的最大打击。
Rahm won the league's individual title in each of the last three years, making his defection from the league arguably its biggest hit.
其余高尔夫球手有到10月25日的时间，决定是留在LIV 2.0还是效仿拉姆的做法。该联赛有可能停止运营。
The rest of the golfers have until Oct. 25 to decide whether they will stay for LIV 2.0 or follow in Rahm's footsteps. There is a chance the league will cease operations.
凯·特朗普迈阿密女子高球赛季因第二次手腕手术搁置：“我做出了最好的决定”DP世界巡回赛（原名欧洲巡回赛）本周早些时候宣布，LIV球员将不再被允许参加其赛事。LIV高尔夫球手只要处于良好状态并支付因参加与DP世界巡回赛日程冲突的LIV赛事而产生的任何罚款，就可以在DP世界巡回赛上打球——这些罚款此前由PIF支付，直到2025年。
The DP World Tour, formerly known as the European Tour, announced earlier this week that LIV players would no longer be allowed to play in its events. LIV golfers were allowed to play on the DP World Tour as long as they were in good standing and paid any fines for playing in LIV events that conflicted with the DP World Tour calendar — those fines were paid for by the PIF until 2025.
拉姆赢得了2021年美国公开赛和2023年大师赛。他和泰瑞尔·哈顿是去年莱德杯上欧洲队唯二的LIV高尔夫球手。
Rahm won the 2021 U.S. Open and the 2023 Masters. He and Tyrrell Hatton were the lone LIV golfers on Team Europe during last year's Ryder Cup.
LIV已裁掉大部分运营人员，让活动承包商等待付款，并面临来自顶级高尔夫联盟的诉讼，后者指控其违反保密义务和共谋。
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·科普卡是第一个离开LIV高尔夫的大牌球员，他于去年晚些时候离开并回归PGA巡回赛。帕特里克·里德随后紧随其后。
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.
PIF撤资后不久，LIV首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔表示，LIV赛程不会改变，但事实并非如此。该联盟原定的冠军周末被取消，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 canceled, forcing it to be played a week earlier.
