Scottie Scheffler does not oppose the return of LIV golfers after their pursuit of Saudi funding, provided they accept some form of penalty.

斯科蒂·舍夫勒并不反对LIV高尔夫球员在追逐沙特资金后回归但前提是他们必须接受某种形式的处罚

Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, believes that unification might be achievable at some point in the future, yet on Wednesday, when asked what value they could bring to the PGA Tour, he hesitated slightly.

罗里·麦克罗伊则认为未来某个时刻或许能实现统一但周三在被问及他们能为美巡赛带来何种价值时,他稍作迟疑

I mean, would I assert that they have brought value to LIV?

我的意思是,我是否会断言他们为LIV带来了价值

McIlroy made this remark at the BMW Championship.

麦克罗伊在宝马锦标赛上如此表示。

The future of LIV Golf is under intense scrutiny, as this week's event in Indianapolis marks the league's season finale, and Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund has decided to cease its financial backing.

LIV高尔夫的未来正受到密切关注本周在印第安纳波利斯举行的赛事标志着该联赛本赛季的收官之战沙特阿拉伯的主权财富基金已决定不再为其提供资金支持

LIV CEO Scott O'Neil remains optimistic about the plans for 2027 and beyond, stating that players will transition into equity owners while regaining their commercial rights.

LIV首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔依然2027年及以后的规划持乐观态度,并表示球员将转型为股权所有者同时恢复其商业权益

O'Neil revealed that the plans include five team championships overseas and five individual events in the United States, with scheduling positioned closely alongside the calendars of players eligible for major championships.

奥尼尔透露计划包括在海外举办五场团体锦标赛,以及在美国举办五场个人赛事其时间安排将紧邻那些具备大满贯参赛资格的球员的赛程

He did not disclose the identities of the principal investors who had already reached agreements with LIV.

并未披露那些已与LIV达成协议主要投资者的身份

Several media outlets have confirmed that one of them is Ted Gortsop of BC Partners, who met with the players on Tuesday.

多家媒体已确认其中一位BC Partners的泰德·戈尔索普于周二与球员们进行了会面

O'Neill stated that the players face a deadline to join LIV 2.0, though he did not specify the exact timing.

奥尼尔表示球员们面临一个加入LIV 2.0的截止期限但他未明确具体时间

He likewise made no mention of the scale of the proposed investment.

同样未提及拟议投资的规模

LIV Golf has expended over five billion dollars over the course of five years.

LIV高尔夫在五年间已斥资50亿美元

"Our entire focus is on closing this deal and ensuring it proceeds smoothly," O'Neill stated.

我们的全部重心在于促成这笔交易确保顺利推进,”奥尼尔表示

"Without player involvement, this endeavor would face considerable difficulty.

若无球员参与此事举步维艰

I have full confidence in the negotiations I have conducted, believing that we can rally a sufficient number of key players to propel the entire league forward."

自身所进行的磋商抱有充分信心相信我们能够集结足够数量的关键球员驱动整个联赛向前发展。”

For LIV, the cornerstone pillars are none other than Jon Rahm, whose contract extends beyond 2027, and Bryson DeChambeau, whose deal expires this year.

对LIV而言其核心支柱当属乔恩·拉姆其合约有效期至2027年之后布赖森·德尚博其合约将于今年届满)。

Both have clinched major championships on two occasions, and they stand as the sole remaining top-tier luminaries within the LIV Golf ranks.

此二人均曾两度问鼎大满贯赛事亦是LIV高尔夫阵营中硕果仅存的顶级巨星

Brooks Koepka became the first player to return to the PGA Tour this year, under stringent conditions: unless he earns his place through his own merit, he is barred from the marquee events with prize money of up to $20 million; additionally, he must contribute $5 million to charity and is entitled to no equity stake.

布鲁克斯·科普卡今年成为首位重返美巡赛的球员其回归条件颇为苛刻:除非凭借自身实力赢得参赛资格否则无缘参与奖金高达2000万美元的标志性赛事此外他还须向慈善机构缴纳500万美元不享有任何股权

It is estimated that the tour values this penalty at over $50 million.

据估算巡回赛对此项处罚的价值5000万美元

The tour subsequently extended the same agreement to Rahm, DeChambeau, and Cameron Smithgranting them a two-week window for deliberationall three of whom have clinched major championship titles since the inception of LIV Golf in 2022.

巡回赛随后向拉姆、德尚博及卡梅隆·史密斯提供了相同的协议——并给予他们两周的考虑期限——此三人均为自2022年LIV高尔夫成立以来斩获大满贯桂冠的选手

"When we talk about the best players, LIV certainly boasts some exceptionally talented individuals," Scheffler remarked.

当我们谈论最优秀的球员时,LIV确实拥有一些非常出色的选手,”舍夫勒表示

"I believe the depth of our tour is unparalleled, yet if you examine the upper echelons of LIV Golf, there are undoubtedly players who could bring considerable value to the circuit, and I relish competing against them."

我认为我们巡回赛的深度无可匹敌但如果你看看LIV高尔夫的顶尖水平肯定有一些球员能为巡回赛带来很多价值我也喜欢与他们竞争。”

Therefore, in my view, looking ahead, some form of sanction is clearly imperative.

因此依我之见展望未来某种形式惩处显然势在必行的

The specific details of these penalties will be determined personally by Brian Rolapp, the CEO of the PGA Tour.

这些处罚具体内容美巡赛首席执行官布莱恩·罗莱普亲自裁定

McIlroy has been, from the outset, the most outspoken critic of LIV.

麦克罗伊自始至终便是LIV最直言不讳的批评者

Over the years, his rhetoric has softened, although in February 2025, he suggested that players "must overcome this hurdle" as they explored avenues for the return of the defectors.

多年来他的措辞已趋于缓和尽管在2025年2月他曾建议球员们在探索让叛逃者回归的途径时“必须克服这一障碍”。

On Wednesday, his tone betrayed a more pronounced reluctance, noting that top players still had an opportunity to return to the fray at the start of the year, yet any prospective offer would likely fall short of the lucrative terms secured by Koepka.

周三他的语气中透露出更为明显的勉强指出顶级球员在年初尚有机会重返赛场任何潜在的报价恐怕都难以企及科普卡所获得的那种优厚条件

"I have not been part of these discussions, but I am fairly certain they will not be welcomed back with open arms immediately," McIlroy remarked.

并未涉足这些讨论可以确信的是,他们不会即刻受到欢迎重返的礼遇,”麦克罗伊如是说

"At the time, there were those who asserted that should they decide to return, the terms they could secure in future agreements would likely fall short of what Brooks has enjoyed."

彼时便有人断言倘若他们决意归来未来所能获得的协议待遇,恐难超越布鲁克斯所享有的条件。”

Consequently, I am compelled to concede that the path to reintegration will be fraught with challenges, the magnitude of which far exceeds what the average person might anticipate.

因此不得不承认回归之路充满挑战艰难程度远超常人所料

For LIV, the situation is equally far from reassuring, particularly as at least two lawsuits filed by suppliers remain unresolved.

对LIV而言形势不容乐观尤其是至少两起由供应商提起的诉讼悬而未决

Mobbi Systems Group, headquartered in Canada, filed a lawsuit in Miami last month.

总部位于加拿大Mobbi Systems Group于上月在迈阿密提起诉讼

This technology firm, which supplies the "any camera, any time" feature for LIV broadcasts, is seeking to recover over one million dollars in unpaid invoices and the resulting loss of revenue.

这家为LIV广播提供“任意镜头,任意时间”功能的技术企业要求追偿逾一百万美元的未付发票款项由此产生的收入损失

In a separate lawsuit filed last month in New York, Fresh Tape Media, headquartered in Colorado, is demanding that LIV pay over $1.2 million to compensate for the labor it expended in producing the company's preseason media preview day.

上个月于纽约提起的另一宗诉讼中,总部位于科罗拉多州的Fresh Tape Media要求LIV支付120万美元以偿付其为该公司制作季前媒体预览日所付出的劳务

"What I want to tell them is that we are doing everything in our power to ensure we live up to the promise that they and their work embody, and I sincerely hope we can achieve that," O'Neill said.

我想对他们说的是我们正竭尽全力以确保我们无愧于他们及其工作所承载的承诺我真心希望我们能够做到,”奥尼尔说

"For the next generation, this will undoubtedly be a vastly different industry, accompanied by entirely distinct operational processes."

对下一代而言这无疑将是一个截然不同的行业伴随着迥异的运作流程。”
