LIV高尔夫申请破产保护，寻求重组求生

LIV高尔夫于周二在新泽西州申请第11章破产保护1，负债超过5亿美元1。这一举措标志着这家由沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金支持的高尔夫联赛面临重大危机。沙特公共投资基金在2026赛季最后一场赛事后突然终止资金支持，促使该组织寻求重组1。

根据破产文件，LIV高尔夫的资产估值在1亿至5亿美元之间，负债估值在5亿至10亿美元之间1。该组织在沙特基金停止资助前已总支出超过5亿美元1。作为破产重组的一部分，LIV高尔夫将由投资公司BC Partners支持，推出规模缩小的"LIV Golf 2.0"版本，球员将成为多数所有者1。新版本计划将球员数量从57名扩至75名1，并首次引入54洞晋级制1。

乔·拉姆、布赖森·德尚博、达斯汀·约翰逊和卡梅伦·史密斯为主要债权人1。LIV高尔夫首席执行官斯科特·欧尼尔表示："这个程序给了我们结构和时间来追求一笔标志性交易，开启LIV高尔夫的下一章。"1乔·拉姆则表态称："我仍然与LIV 1.0有合同，我非常愿意履行。时间会说明一切。"1

LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey on Tuesday, carrying liabilities exceeding $500 million as the Saudi-backed golf league seeks to restructure and survive in a downsized form.1 The move comes after the Saudi Public Investment Fund abruptly terminated its funding support following the final event of the 2026 season.1

The league has accumulated total spending exceeding $500 million before the Saudi fund's withdrawal, with assets valued between $100 million and $500 million and total liabilities estimated between $500 million and $1 billion.1 Under the restructuring plan dubbed "LIV Golf 2.0," the league will operate with reduced scale, with players becoming majority owners and capital support from BC Partners.1 The reorganized tour will expand its player roster from 57 to 75 golfers and introduce a 54-hole cut format for the first time.1

CEO Scott O'Neill stated that "this process gives us the structure and time to pursue a landmark transaction that opens the next chapter for LIV Golf."1 Major creditors in the bankruptcy include players Joe Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and Cameron Smith.1 Rahm said he remains under contract with "LIV 1.0" and is "very willing to fulfill it," adding that "time will tell" regarding the path forward.1
