LIV高尔夫联赛宣布清盘：五年烧掉50多亿美元落幕
LIV高尔夫联赛11月5日在新泽西州破产法院的听证会上宣布，将结束运营、进入清算程序，而不再推出新版本赛事。代表该组织的律师在当天的听证会上公布了这一决定，标志着这个曾震动世界高坛的联赛正式落幕。
LIV高尔夫自2022年成立以来已花费超过50亿美元，今年4月失去了沙特阿拉伯方面的资金支持，随后于9月申请破产。联赛由沙特主权财富基金支持成立，曾以高额签约费吸引多名顶尖球手加盟，与美巡赛展开激烈竞争，一度引发高尔夫界的分裂。失去资金来源后，联赛无法继续维持运营。
法庭文件显示，清算程序将处理联赛剩余资产和债务问题，债权人将按破产程序获得清偿。LIV高尔夫的球员合同、转播协议和赛事安排如何收尾，尚待清算过程中进一步明确。分析人士指出，沙特方面撤资后，高尔夫世界可能重新走向统一，但具体路径仍不明朗。

LIV Golf Moves to Liquidation, Ending a League That Burned Through More Than $5 Billion
LIV Golf announced at a Nov. 5 hearing in New Jersey bankruptcy court that it will end operations and move into liquidation, rather than relaunch in a new form. Attorneys for the league announced the decision at the hearing, formally closing the chapter on a circuit that once shook the golf world.
Since its launch in 2022, LIV Golf has spent more than $5 billion. It lost its Saudi Arabian funding in April of this year and filed for bankruptcy in September. Backed by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the league lured top players with huge signing fees and went head-to-head with the PGA Tour, splitting the sport. Without its funding source, it could no longer sustain operations.
Court filings show the liquidation will deal with the league's remaining assets and debts, with creditors to be repaid through the bankruptcy process. How player contracts, broadcast agreements and event arrangements will be wound down remains to be determined during the liquidation. Analysts say the golf world could move back toward unification after the Saudi withdrawal, though the path remains unclear.
