Report: Bryson DeChambeau Mulling Future, Looking at Options Outside of LIV Golf

Jon Rahm may have won in Mexico City, but LIV Golf’s week south of the border was clouded with rumors regarding its future. Eventually, it was reported that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would be pulling its support after the 2026 season. Scott O’Neil, the league’s CEO, all but confirmed this in an interview that was taken down and reposted with that tidbit redacted.

Now, the future of its biggest star is very much in doubt.

According to The Athletic, Bryson DeChambeau met with multiple organizations during Masters week to discuss options if he were to leave LIV at the end of the year. With his contract set to expire, The Athletic reported that he could seek $500 million to re-sign. Without the PIF, that number would put LIV’s chances of getting DeChambeau back in the improbable range.

Also included in The Athletic’s report is a conversation between Rahm and DeChambeau on the practice green prior to the first round, a talk that left nearly a dozen other players distracted. The topic of said discussion is unknown.

While Rahm won, DeChambeau eventually withdrew from the tournament Sunday, citing wrist discomfort.

LIV has one event remaining before the PGA Championship—LIV Golf Virginia from May 7-10—and eight total for the rest of its season.

It’s safe to say the breakaway circuit has a lot to figure out before then.
