I'm pretty sure he doesn't owe money until he proves he can play on the PGA tour / professional golf, which would actually require him to actually play on those tours.

If he decides to try Pro Golf again I think there are a few ways.
1) If LIV agrees to give him a massive signing bonus he can then use it to pay off whatever he owes.  But if its $15M, he would need a bonus of close to $30M to generate the after tax cash flows to pay off the bonus.  I don't see this as realistic.

2) I think the more likely scenario could be the following (assuming its possible via a lawyer).   Work a deal with the insurers that if they allow him to try to come back  to pro-golf he agrees to give them 50% of whatever earnings he makes (on the course or marketing) in his career moving forward.    The insurers could say no -- and he can keep sitting out and they earn nothing.   Or they can agree, and actually have some upside here and start getting at least some money back, or even more assuming he gets it back together.

Say he goes to LIV and they give him a $5M bonus based on his name and marquee / "mystery" value.   He probably still has some marketability.     That's $6M right there off the bat, and say $3M goes to the insurers its probably a positive for them.
