LIV Golf Bankruptcy Filing Lists Rahm, DeChambeau as Top Creditors

LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing Tuesday included a required list of its 30 largest unsecured creditors, and the top of it belongs to two of the league's biggest signings: Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.

Who does LIV Golf owe the most money?

Court filings place Rahm and DeChambeau atop LIV's list of unsecured claims, though the filing does not disclose the exact dollar figures owed to them. Further down the list is Brooks Koepka, who left LIV for the PGA Tour earlier in 2026 and is still owed nearly $1.7 million.

Under bankruptcy law, the disclosed list covers unsecured creditors only and excludes "insiders" — parties with a close enough relationship to the company to have influence over its affairs, as defined under 11 U.S.C. § 101(31).

Why is LIV Golf listing creditors now?

The list is a standard requirement in a Chapter 11 filing, which LIV entered Tuesday as part of a restructuring agreement with BC Partners Credit. The filing followed a difficult year for the league, including canceled events, staff cuts and the Public Investment Fund's decision to end its financial backing after the 2026 season. LIV has proposed making players majority owners of the reorganized company and secured a proposed $49.6 million debtor-in-possession financing package from PIF to keep operating during the process.

What comes next for LIV Golf's structure?

The restructuring plan, dubbed "LIV 2.0," points toward a smaller operation than the one that ran up these debts — around 10 events a season, roughly half outside the United States, with purses well below the guarantees that drew stars like Rahm and DeChambeau to the league in the first place.
