Bryson DeChambeau denies PGA talks and commits to LIV Golf
LIV Golf caused a major split when it began luring star names away from the PGA Tour with offers of huge salary increases in 2022.
DeChambeau joined LIV Golf in 2022, turning down the chance to return to the PGA Tour earlier this year along with fellow stars Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith.
The PGA Tour has established a returning member program open through February 2 and welcomed Brooks Koepka back to the American circuit as part of the initiative following his departure from LIV Golf.
“We are currently running a number of junior golf events and each team is looking to establish junior golf academies,” DeChambeau added. “This is something we’ve been working on for almost three or four months.
“We’re looking at hosting an event here, probably in the next few months, because we want to do something special with the Tag Team Championship. There’s definitely some really cool things going on.”
DeChambeau’s LIV contract expires at the end of this season and he was looking to sign a lucrative new deal.
Speaking before the recent announcement that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund was withdrawing its funding, DeChambeau said: “As long as LIV is here, I will find a way for it to be meaningful.
“We’re still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help the league run after this year.”
