LIV Golf任命曾领导TaylorMade高尔夫品牌的Mark King为高级顾问,协助推动该实体的扭亏计划。
LIV Golf named Mark King, who previously led the TaylorMade golf brand, as a senior adviser to help lead the entity’s turnaround attempt.
LIV在一份声明中表示,King将继续担任Jack in the Box的临时首席执行官。King于5月被任命为这家快餐连锁店的临时CEO。
King will remain as interim chief executive officer of Jack in the Box, LIV said in a statement. King was appointed to his role at the fast-food chain in May.
LIV于上月申请破产保护,称其仍按计划与BC Partners的信贷部门完成一笔交易。这是一项3亿美元的投资,前提是LIV能留住足够多的球员以支撑其改版后的联赛。
LIV, which entered bankruptcy last month, said that it remained on track to complete a transaction with the credit arm of BC Partners. It’s a $300 million investment that is reliant on LIV retaining enough players for its revamped version of the league.
目前不清楚BC Partners要求LIV维持多少名球员,也不清楚有多少球员已同意留队。《金融时报》周日报道称,据匿名消息人士透露,约有15名高尔夫球手已承诺参加LIV 2027赛季,这将满足BC Partners的要求。《体育商业杂志》较早前已报道了King受聘一事。
It’s unclear how many players BC Partners wants LIV to maintain and how many have agreed to stay. The Financial Times reported on Sunday that about 15 golfers have committed to joining LIV’s 2027 season, which would satisfy BC Partners, citing unnamed sources. The Sports Business Journal reported on King’s hiring earlier.
