Tranlate this title Jon Rahm tops the list of LIV Golf creditors in spanish

Jon Rahm is LIV Golf’s largest creditor according to documents filed by the tour to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. The Spaniard is listed with an unsecured claim of $7,472,527—the highest amount on a list that includes 14 golfers among the top 30 creditors. However, this figure does not represent the total outstanding balance of his multi-million dollar contract, but rather amounts due for the third quarter of 2026. According to Reuters, the Spaniard is still owed over $100 million under the terms of the agreement he signed with the tour.

The filing was submitted this Tuesday to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund decided to stop funding the project. LIV reports assets of between $100 million and $500 million and liabilities ranging from $500 million to $1 billion, with a creditor list that could reach up to 5,000 entities. The proceedings do not entail immediate liquidation but rather a court-supervised reorganization through which the company intends to continue operations.

The golfer from Barrika appears ahead of Bryson DeChambeau ($5,769,231) and Dustin Johnson ($5,489,011) on the list published by *USA Today* and shared by *Forbes*. Cameron Smith holds the fourth spot among the players, followed by Adrian Meronk and Tyrrell Hatton. The list also includes Brooks Koepka—who returned to the PGA Tour earlier this year—as well as other names such as Joaquín Niemann, Abraham Ancer, and Lucas Herbert. The published amounts are as follows:

Jon Rahm: $7,472,527
Bryson DeChambeau: $5,769,231
Dustin Johnson: $5,489,011
Cameron Smith: $4,835,165
Adrian Meronk: $4,436,813
Tyrrell Hatton: $3,373,626
Bubba Watson: $3,324,389
Abraham Ancer: $2,651,099
Ben An: $1,811,011
Brooks Koepka: $1,681,279
Caleb Surratt: $1,331,117
Joaquín Niemann: $1,307,692
Lucas Herbert: $1,012,205
Thomas McKibbin: $973,110

Collectively, the claims from these 14 players exceed $45 million. The initial documentation does not reveal the total amount owed to each player under their contracts, nor does it indicate what portion of future commitments might be affected by the restructuring. Furthermore, some claims—such as those from DeChambeau and Johnson—are identified as being disputed by the company.

The list is not limited solely to the golfers, who are the public faces of the tour. LIV’s creditors include audiovisual firms, production companies, representation agencies, service providers, and public bodies. IMG Media and its subsidiaries have filed a claim for $3.2 million, while MDLBEAST Company exceeds $1.6 million and Ming Entertainment Group claims nearly $1.59 million. IMG Media and subsidiaries: $3,200,000

The presence of Fresh Tape Media and Fantasy Interactive also reflects the non-payment disputes LIV has faced in recent weeks. The filing also includes claims of undetermined amounts from other entities—including World Golf Group and Premier Golf League, as well as music rights holders. Not all amounts are necessarily definitively acknowledged, as the proceedings must determine how disputed, contingent, or unsettled claims will be handled.

The company aims to reach a recapitalization agreement with BC Partners Credit, which would serve as the primary funding source for a new phase of the tour. The plan envisions players becoming majority owners of the reorganized entity, although both the transaction and its terms must still clear the requisite legal process.
