乔恩·拉姆 (Jon Rahm) 可以说是加入 LIV 的最引人注目的人物，他于 2023 年 12 月离开美巡赛，据报道这笔交易价值 2.22 亿英镑（3 亿美元） 琼·拉姆 (Jon Rahm) 的律师在破产法庭听证会上表示，在认为 LIV 2.0 拟议条款“不可接受”后，他将离开 LIV Golf。
The league, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in September after Saudi Arabia withdrew its multibillion-dollar funding, has secured a possible $300m in financing from BC Partners Credit in order to try to move forward with the 2027 season.

Rahm's lawyer, John Beck, told the hearing the 31-year-old Spaniard "independently reviewed the terms of LIV 2.0 and determined those terms are unacceptable as to him".
拉姆的律师约翰·贝克 (John Beck) 在听证会上表示，这位 31 岁的西班牙人“独立审查了 LIV 2.0 的条款，并确定这些条款对他来说是不可接受的”。
It was later said that LIV and Rahm's representatives are "in advanced discussions for a consensual separation agreement between Mr Rahm and LIV".
后来有消息称，LIV 和拉姆的代表正在“就拉姆先生和 LIV 之间达成的双方同意的分居协议进行深入讨论”。
It is hoped this will be finalised by a court hearing on 5 November.

包括布鲁克斯·科普卡在内的一些球员后来重返美巡赛，美巡赛在 12 月重写了规则，允许这位五届大满贯冠军回归，但要受到一定的制裁。
Rahm did not follow suit and remained under long-term contract with LIV, but in May reached a deal with the DP World Tour - formerly the European Tour - to retain his membership and remain eligible for next year's Ryder Cup.
拉姆没有效仿，并与 LIV 保持长期合同，但在 5 月份与 DP 世界巡回赛（前身为欧洲巡回赛）达成协议，保留其会员资格并保留参加明年莱德杯的资格。

Chapter 11 protection postpones a US company's obligations to its creditors, giving it time to reorganise its debts or sell parts of the business.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is providing a bankruptcy loan of $49.6m (£36.6m) - called 'debtor in possession' (DIP) financing - to help fund the process.

LIV Golf secures potential $300m investment Strained smiles and uncertainty - the strange end of LIV Golf 1.0 Meanwhile, former Masters champion Sergio Garcia was granted a special "deal" during Wednesday's hearing in New Jersey allowing his contract to be "terminated" as well as "rejected", following an application by his lawyers.
LIV Golf 获得 3 亿美元潜在投资 紧张的笑容和不确定性——LIV Golf 1.0的奇怪结局 与此同时，前大师赛冠军塞尔吉奥·加西亚在周三新泽西州的听证会上获得了一项特殊“协议”，在律师提出申请后，他的合同可以“终止”和“拒绝”。
Once that termination agreement is signed, it is understood Garcia will be free to negotiate with third parties.
一旦终止协议签署，加西亚将可以自由地与第三方进行谈判。
Earlier he had told media at the Open de Espana in Madrid how keen he is to be involved in next year's Ryder Cup as a player or vice-captain.
早些时候，他在马德里西班牙公开赛上告诉媒体，他非常渴望以球员或副队长的身份参加明年的莱德杯。
While he said that he was not sure what his future held and "everything is an option", he made clear he wanted to give himself "the best chance" of making the Ryder Cup team.
虽然他说他不确定自己的未来会怎样，并且“一切都是选择”，但他明确表示他想给自己进入莱德杯队的“最佳机会”。
Lawyers for several other players, including Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, also spoke in the hearing to seek clarity on whether the rejection of the contracts equated to termination of the contracts.
包括布赖森·德尚博和卡梅伦·史密斯在内的其他几名球员的律师也在听证会上发言，以澄清拒绝合同是否等同于终止合同。
One lawyer, representing five players including Smith, said clarity was needed on whether players could engage in discussions about "future plans with third parties".
代表包括史密斯在内的五名球员的一名律师表示，需要明确球员是否可以参与“与第三方的未来计划”的讨论。
The likely background to this is that players want to know for certain whether they are legally permitted to hold discussions with rival tours and also sponsors.
这样做的可能背景是，球员想确切地知道他们是否在法律上被允许与竞争对手巡回赛和赞助商进行讨论。
The DP World Tour, for example, is understood to be unwilling to have discussions with LIV players surrounding their futures unless they have proof that their contracts have been terminated.
例如，据了解，DP 世界巡回赛不愿意与 LIV 选手讨论他们的未来，除非他们有证据证明合同已经终止。
There was no indication given regarding these players' positions in relation to LIV 2.0.
没有说明这些玩家在 LIV 2.0 中的立场。
However, lawyers representing LIV did not agree to apply the same arrangement that Garcia had received, instead asking for more time to assess player contracts and the consequences of termination.
然而，LIV 的代表律师并不同意采用与加西亚相同的安排，而是要求有更多时间来评估球员合同和解约的后果。
Keith Martorana, counsel for LIV Golf, said: "We are not looking to hold anybody up unduly but we have unfortunately at this point had no opportunity to review those contracts."
LIV Golf 的法律顾问基思·马尔托拉纳 (Keith Martorana) 表示：“我们不想过度拖延任何人，但不幸的是，我们目前没有机会审查这些合同。”
This matter has therefore been pushed back to a hearing on 14 October.
因此，此事已推迟至 10 月 14 日举行听证会。
