  "summary": "Jon Rahm is leaving LIV Golf after finding the proposed terms for LIV 2.0 unacceptable. According to his lawyer, John Beck, Rahm independently reviewed the terms and determined they were not acceptable to him.\n\nRahm had joined LIV Golf in December 2023, reportedly for a deal worth $300m. He is owed over $100 million, as per Golf.com, and has an unsecured claim of $7.5m, according to BBC Sport.\n\nLIV Golf has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US and has secured possible financing of $300m from BC Partners Credit to move forward with the 2027 season. The league's participants, including Rahm, are owed at least $45m and have the option to leave. Rahm's representatives are in advanced discussions for a consensual separation agreement with LIV, which may be finalised by a court hearing on 5 November.",
