What's in Bryson DeChambeau's future? Weighing options amid LIV rumors
With rumors circling that LIV Golf could be ending soon, where might two-time major winner Bryson DeChambeau go next? Here's the latest.
Two-time major winner Bryson DeChambeau is exploring options beyond LIV Golf with the circuit facing an uncertain future . DeChambeau remains one of the biggest stars in the golf world and the value he brings to the LIV Tour cannot be understated. His social media following, including a YouTube channel that draws millions of viewers, has been a massive gain for LIV Golf in recent years.
However, with the circuit facing questions about its future , DeChambeau already has started looking elsewhere, per reports. Playing in the final year of his contract with LIV, DeChambeau's asking price to return has skyrocketed. Furthremore, the PGA is also looking at options to help former LIV golfers return .
Is DeChambeau really looking elsewhere from LIV? According to The Athletic , absolutely. The report indicates that DeChambeau and his team actually spent a good chunk of Masters weekend "meeting with organizations to discuss possible options if he chose to leave LIV.
" And it appears DeChambeau is dead set on that decision. His asking price to re-sign with LIV Golf has reportedly jumped up to $500 million. That said, DeChambeau did play in LIV's latest tournament in Mexico City this past weekend, and fans saw DeChambeau laughing alongside LIV CEO Scott O'Neil on the first fairway, so perhaps his departure is being overblown.
