Dustin Johnson and LIV golfers seek $100 million severance payments
Summary

Dustin Johnson and over 10 LIV golfers are requesting more than $100 million in severance payments from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. This comes amid ongoing bankruptcy proceedings for LIV Golf, which filed for Chapter 11 last month. The request highlights disputes over unpaid contracts as the league transitions into its next phase, known as LIV 2.0. Amidst uncertainty, only four players have committed to the new structure, with previous commitments now in question. LIV leaders, facing financial scrutiny, received large payouts prior to bankruptcy, raising concerns among players regarding their owed payments.
