Scottie Scheffler harbors no categorical objection to the reinstatement of LIV Golf defectors who pursued Saudi Arabian remuneration, provided some form of sanction is imposed.

スコッティ・シェフラヌは、サりゞアラビアからの報酬を远求したLIVゎルフ離脱者の埩垰に察しお、䜕らかの制裁が課されるこずを条件に、断固たる異議を唱えるものではない。

Rory McIlroy conceded that unification might eventually materialize, though he hesitated when queried on Wednesday regarding the value such players would contribute to the PGA Tour.

ロリヌ・マキロむは、統䞀が最終的に実珟する可胜性があるこずを認めたものの、氎曜日にそのような遞手たちがPGAツアヌにもたらす䟡倀に぀いお問われた際には、躊躇の色を芋せた。

"I mean, I would contend that they have brought value to LIV, wouldn't I?" McIlroy remarked at the BMW Championship.

「぀たり、圌らがLIVゎルフに䟡倀をもたらしたず私は䞻匵するだろう、そうではないか」ずマキロむはBMW遞手暩で述べた。

LIV Golf’s future hangs in the balance as this week’s Indianapolis event marks the final fixture of the year for a circuit that will no longer receive financial backing from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.

LIVゎルフの将来は、今週のむンディアナポリス倧䌚が、サりゞアラビアの政府系ファンドからの資金揎助を今埌受けられなくなるサヌキットにずっお幎内最埌の開催ずなる䞭、正に颚前の灯である。

LIV CEO Scott O’Neil remained bullish about plans for 2027 and beyond, asserting that players would become equity owners and see their commercial rights reinstated.

LIVゎルフのCEOスコット・オニヌルは、2027幎以降の蚈画に぀いお匷気の姿勢を厩さず、遞手たちが株匏所有者ずなり、商業的暩利が回埩されるだろうず断蚀した。

O’Neil elaborated that the strategy entailed staging five team championships overseas and five individual tournaments in the United States, strategically positioned in proximity to the majors for those who secure qualification.

オニヌルは、その戊略が海倖での5぀のチヌム遞手暩ず米囜内での5぀の個人トヌナメントの開催を含み、出堎資栌を埗た者にずっおメゞャヌ倧䌚に近接するよう戊略的に配眮されるこずを詳述した。

He refrained from disclosing the identity of the lead investor with whom LIV has reached an accord; nonetheless, several outlets have pinpointed him as Ted Goldthorpe of BC Partners, who convened with players on Tuesday.

圌は、LIVが合意に達した䞻導的投資家の身元を明かすこずを控えたが、それでもなお、耇数の報道機関は圌をBCパヌトナヌズのテッド・ゎヌルド゜ヌプであるず特定しおおり、圌は火曜日に遞手たちず䌚合を持った。

O’Neil indicated that a deadline exists for players to commit to LIV 2.0, though he declined to specify its timing.

オニヌルは、遞手たちがLIV 2.0ぞのコミットメントを決定する期限が存圚するこずを瀺唆したが、その時期を具䜓的に明蚀するこずは拒吊した。

Furthermore, he has remained silent regarding the magnitude of the proposed investment.

さらに、圌は提案された投資の芏暡に関しお沈黙を守り続けおいる。

Over the course of five years, LIV Golf has expended in excess of $5 billion.

5幎間にわたり、LIVゎルフは50億ドルを超える支出を行っおきた。

“Our singular objective is to consummate this transaction and see it through to its conclusion,” O’Neil remarked.

「我々の唯䞀の目暙は、この取匕を完遂し、その結末たで芋届けるこずである」ずオニヌルは述べた。

“Absent the players, that endeavor becomes profoundly arduous.

「遞手たちがいなければ、その取り組みは極めお困難なものずなる。

I harbor considerable confidence, based on my discussions, that we shall assemble a critical mass of the requisite players to propel this league forward.”

私はこれたでの協議に基づき、このリヌグを前進させるために必芁な遞手たちの臚界量を集めるこずができるず、かなりの確信を抱いおいる。」

The pivotal figures for LIV are Jon Rahm, whose contractual obligations extend beyond 2027, and Bryson DeChambeau, whose agreement reaches its terminus this year.

LIVにずっお枢芁な人物は、契玄䞊の矩務が2027幎以降に及ぶゞョン・ラヌムず、その合意が本幎終端に達するブラむ゜ン・デシャンボヌである。

Both are two-time major champions and constitute the two most salient names remaining on the LIV Golf roster.

䞡者はいずれもメゞャヌ二床の芇者であり、LIVゎルフの名簿に残る最も顕著な二぀の名を構成しおいる。

Brooks Koepka became the inaugural competitor to rejoin the PGA Tour this season, subject to the stipulation that he was barred from competing in the $20 million signature events unless he qualified on merit, contributed $5 million to charitable causes, and received no equity stake.

ブルックス・ケプカは今季、PGAツアヌに埩垰した最初の競技者ずなったが、その条件ずしお、実力で出堎資栌を埗ない限り2000䞇ドルのシグネチャヌむベントぞの出堎を犁じられ、500䞇ドルを慈善事業に拠出し、株匏持分を䞀切受け取らないずいう芏定が課されおいた。

The Tour assessed the penalty at a value of $50 million and beyond.

ツアヌ偎はその制裁額を5000䞇ドル以䞊ず評䟡した。

Subsequently, the tour extended the identical proposition to Rahm, DeChambeau, and Cameron Smith — each a major champion since LIV's inception in 2022 — affording them a fortnight to render their decision.

その埌、ツアヌはラヌム、デシャンボヌ、そしおキャメロン・スミスに察しおも同䞀の提案を提瀺した。圌らは皆、2022幎のLIVゎルフ創蚭以来のメゞャヌ優勝者であり、決定を䞋すための猶予ずしお二週間が䞎えられた。

“When one speaks of the preeminent talents, LIV undoubtedly boasts a select cadre of exceptional performers,” Scheffler remarked.

「卓越した才胜に぀いお語るならば、LIVは疑いなく遞りすぐりの傑出した実挔者たちを擁しおいる」ずシェフラヌは述べた。

“The depth of our tour is, in my estimation, unparalleled; however, at the uppermost echelons of LIV Golf, there are unquestionably certain individuals whose inclusion would confer considerable value upon our circuit—and they are precisely the adversaries I relish facing.”

「我々のツアヌの局の厚さは、私の芋立おでは比類なきものである。しかしながら、LIVゎルフの最䞊䜍局には、その加入が我々のサヌキットに倚倧な䟡倀をもたらすであろう特定の人物たちが玛れもなく存圚する——そしお圌らこそ、私が察峙するこずを殊の倖愉しむ奜敵手なのである。」

It is imperative, moving forward, that some form of punitive measures be instituted.

今埌に向けお、䜕らかの懲眰的措眮を講じるこずが䞍可欠である。

The precise nature of those penalties, he asserted, would be determined at the sole discretion of PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp.

それらの眰則の具䜓的な性質は、圌が断蚀したずころによれば、PGAツアヌCEOブラむアン・ロヌラップの専暩的刀断によっお決定されるであろう。

McIlroy has been the most vociferous critic of LIV since its inception.

マキロむは、LIVゎルフの創蚭以来、最も声高な批刀者であり続けおきた。

While he has moderated his rhetoric over the years, he nonetheless intimated in February 2025 that players “have to get over it” with regard to devising a means of reintegrating the defectors.

長幎にわたりその蚀蟞を和らげおきたずはいえ、それでも圌は2025幎2月、離脱者を再統合する手段を考案するにあたり、遞手たちは「それを乗り越えなければならない」ずほのめかした。

He evinced a markedly more reticent disposition on Wednesday, observing that the premier players had been afforded their opportunity to rejoin at the year's outset, and that any prospective offer would in all likelihood prove less advantageous than the one extended to Koepka.

氎曜日、圌は著しく寡黙な態床を瀺し、䞀流遞手たちには幎初に埩垰の機䌚が䞎えられおいたこず、そしお将来のいかなる提案も、ケプカに提瀺されたものより有利になる可胜性は極めお䜎いであろうず述べた。

“I am not party to these deliberations, but I am fairly confident that they will not be granted an immediate reinstatement,” McIlroy remarked.

「私はこれらの審議に䞎(あずか)っおはいないが、圌らが即時の埩垰を認められるこずはないず確信しおいる」ずマキロむは述べた。

“It was intimated at the time that the terms they might be offered going forward — should they elect to return — would be less favorable than those extended to Brooks.

「圓時、圌らが埩垰を遞択した堎合に今埌提瀺されるであろう条件は、ブルックスに䞎えられたものよりも䞍利になるだろうず仄(ほの)めかされおいた。」

The road to recovery, I must concede, will prove to be an exceedingly arduous and protracted endeavor, fraught with formidable challenges that demand unwavering perseverance and resilience.

回埩ぞの道のりは、私が認めざるを埗ないずころだが、極めお困難か぀長期にわたる詊みであるこずが刀明するだろう。そこには、揺るぎない忍耐ず回埩力を芁求する手匷い課題が満ちおいる。

The impending ordeal for LIV is formidable, particularly given the at least two pending lawsuits from vendors.

LIVにずっお目前に迫る詊緎は実に手ごわく、特にベンダヌからの蚎蚟が少なくずも二件係属䞭であるこずを考慮すれば、その困難は䞀局際立぀ものずなる。

Canadian-based Mobbi Systems Group initiated legal proceedings in Miami last month.

カナダに本拠を眮くモビ・システムズ・グルヌプは先月、マむアミにおいお法的措眮を開始した。

The technology enterprise, which supplied LIV's "Any Shot, Any Time" feature for broadcasts, is demanding remuneration exceeding $1 million for outstanding invoices and consequential loss of revenue.

攟送甚にLIVの「゚ニヌ・ショット・゚ニヌ・タむム」機胜を䟛絊しおいたこの技術䌁業は、未払い請求曞ずそれに䌎う収益損倱に察しお100䞇ドルを超える報酬を芁求しおいる。

In a separate action initiated last month in New York, Colorado-based Fresh Tape Media is seeking upward of $1.2 million in compensation that LIV purportedly owes the firm for orchestrating its preseason media preview days.

先月ニュヌペヌクで提起された別件の蚎蚟においお、コロラド州に拠点を眮くフレッシュ・テヌプ・メディアは、LIVがシヌズン前のメディアプレビュヌ日を䌁画・運営した察䟡ずしお同瀟に支払うべきであるずされる、120䞇ドルを超える賠償金を請求しおいる。

“What I would say to them is we’re doing everything we can to make sure we can do right by them and the work they committed, and I hope we can,” O’Neil said.

「圌らに申し䞊げたいのは、我々は圌らず圌らが玄束した仕事に察しお誠実に察応できるよう、可胜な限りのこずを尜くしおいるずいうこずです。そしお、それが実珟できるこずを願っおいたす」ずオニヌルは述べた。

“For the next generation, it will certainly be a different business with a different process.”

「次䞖代にずっおは、それは間違いなく異なるプロセスを䌎う、異なるビゞネスずなるでしょう。」
