  "account": "A lawyer representing LIV Golf informed a U.S. federal bankruptcy court judge on Wednesday that the organization will announce by the end of October whether it will cease operations or proceed with a new 2.0 model. During the hearing, the attorney disclosed the circuit's worries about a recent demand from DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings to potential LIV 2.0 players. Kinnings stated that players cannot participate in both LIV 2.0 and the European circuit in the upcoming season and must choose one. The DP World Tour will no longer permit certain players to compete on a restricted basis.",
  "summary": "The hearing came one week after an attorney for Jon Rahm told the court that his client independently reviewed the proposed terms of LIV 2.0 and decided to quit LIV Golf",
