Bryson DeChambeau open to just focusing on growing his YouTube channel, the majors if LIV Golf ends

Bryson DeChambeau has a plan if LIV Golf doesn’t survive after the 2026 season, and it doesn’t include rushing back to the PGA Tour. DeChambeau, speaking ahead of the LIV Golf event in Virginia on Tuesday, said he’s prepared to focus more on expanding his social media presence and playing where he’s welcome if he splits with the Saudi Arabian-backed league at the end of the 2026 campaign. “I’d love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more,” DeChambeau said, via ESPN .

“I would love to. I’d love to do a bunch of dubbing in different languages, giving the world more reason to watch YouTube. “And then I’d love to play in tournaments that want me.

” Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has opted to pull its funding for LIV Golf after the 2026 campaign. While the league isn’t giving up — LIV Golf is working to find new long-term financial partners for the next stage of the tour, and is calling this period a “strategic transition” — there are undoubtedly major questions about the future of the startup venture. “I was completely shocked,” DeChambeau said about the PIF’s decision to pull funding.

“I didn’t expect it to happen. A couple of months before that, it’s like, ‘We’re here until 2032. We’ve got financing until 2032,’ and so I told everybody, and that’s what I was told.
