  "account": "Rahm will leave LIV Golf over unacceptable terms for LIV 2.0, his lawyer told a bankruptcy court. The PGA Tour star left the league in December 2023 for a reported £222m ($300m) deal, becoming its most high-profile member. LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September after Saudi Arabia cut funding, seeking $300m in financing to continue through the 2027 season. Jon Rahm's lawyer, John Beck, stated the 31-year-old Spaniard independently reviewed LIV 2.0 terms and deemed them unacceptable. Talks for a consensual separation are underway and expected to conclude by a court hearing on November 5. The league owes at least $45m (£33m) to players, with Rahm holding the largest unsecured claim of $7.5m (£5.5m). Players are not obligated to join LIV 2.0, but Rahm remains under contract with LIV but joined the DP World Tour for the upcoming Ryder Cup.",
