Just days after announcing the departure of his archrival Brooks Koepka, will Bryson DeChambeau also end his time with the tour now led by Scott O’Neil?
Brooks’ departure inevitably adds new elements to the equation. As I have always said, I really want to develop team golf worldwide. But it has to be perfect.
In an interview on the X account “FlushingIt”, BDC confirmed that discussions continued without indicating whether they were progressing positively.
Bryson DeChambeau, statements
“Everyone knows I’m in discussions with LIV about an extension. We’ll see how it goes,” he told Tom Hobbs. “If all goes well, I’m very excited about the future.”
Clearly, Koepka’s departure changed everything, according to DeChambeau. He and Jon Rahm are now the only two players with such a strong media presence.
While we imagine money is at the heart of the discussions, it’s hard to say exactly what the conversations between the Crushers captain and the LIV boss are about.
“I don’t know if we can sign the contract before Riyadh (the first four-round LIV tournament scheduled for February 4-7). There are still many things to be sorted out,” he added.
“It’s a very unique situation. Brooks’ departure inevitably adds new elements. As I’ve always said, I really want to develop team golf on a global scale. But it has to be perfect. And a lot still needs to be done to make it perfect.” Things still need to improve, and I think Scott [O’Neil] does a great job.”
Although his contract expires in 2026, the two-time US Open champion (2020 and 2024) is not worried about his future. If he can’t figure it out with LIV, he can focus on his YouTube channel, which has 2.6 million subscribers!
“In the end it has to be a decision that works for everyone, because I can also play golf very well on YouTube.”
While he waits for his prospects to become clearer, DeChambeau is making a name for himself in the majors. In particular, he has expressed a desire to add a green jacket to his list of achievements. Last April he finished sixth after shooting a 75 in the final round. This year he will certainly be able to count on further equipment upgrades to achieve that goal.
