Bryson DeChambeau Questions Future with LIV Golf
Bryson DeChambeau has expressed uncertainty about extending his contract with LIV Golf.
Career Shift to LIV Golf
The 32-year-old transitioned from the PGA Tour in 2022, signing a five-year contract with LIV that reportedly exceeds $100 million.
Popularity Surge
Since joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, DeChambeau’s appeal both on and off the golf course has notably increased. He has been a significant draw during major championships, perhaps feeling unlucky not to have secured more than his two U.S. Open titles. His social media presence is vast, boasting over 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube.
Future Uncertainties
With his contract set to expire in 2026, LIV Golf officials are eager for DeChambeau to remain, but he has yet to finalize any new terms. This moment is pivotal for the alternative league, especially following suggestions that Brooks Koepka’s recent exit could indicate troubling times ahead.
Contract Discussions
In a recent conversation with FlushingIt, DeChambeau confirmed that discussions are ongoing, but he refrained from delving into specifics. “I’m not sure about getting the contract signed before Riyadh. There are many factors to consider,” he noted.
Preparing for Competition
DeChambeau acknowledged being surprised by Koepka’s decision to leave, despite hints he had been dissatisfied. He emphasized that, “when one door closes, another opens” and that he views the situation optimistically. LIV Golf will commence its fourth full season next February, and with Koepka’s departure, recruitment is more critical than ever.
Aiming for Future Wins
DeChambeau, now a two-time major champion, is adamant about his prospects for winning The Masters. After a close run at the 2024 championship, he believes his performance can improve significantly. “There’s no question I can secure a green jacket,” he stated, excitedly anticipating the advancements in his game for the coming year.
