Bryson DeChambeau addresses future in social media post after the collapse of LIV Golf, will play DP World Tour event in South Africa, latest news


Bryson DeChambeau is remaining coy about his future despite taking to social media to address the collapse of LIV Golf.

DeChambeau was one of the first stars to jump ship to the breakaway league in 2022 and remained one of its biggest stars throughout its existence.

The two-time US Open champion also played a key role in trying to keep LIV alive after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund ended its financial backing earlier this year.

DeChambeau reportedly held a player meeting at LIV’s New York event in August about the league’s future and said just days before BC Partners announced it would not be financing LIV 2.0 that it will “exist forever”.

Unlike fellow superstar Jon Rahm, who won the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship on Sunday, the 33-year-old American did not formally announce he was leaving LIV before the official collapse.

Earlier in the year, DeChambeau raised the prospect of just making YouTube videos and playing the majors given he holds five-year exemptions after winning the US Open in 2024.

For now, he is keeping is options open, but confirmed one move with the DP World Tour – with whom he has until November 15 to take up full membership with due to his US Open triumph – in a social media post addressing his future in the sport.

“I’m not going to rewrite the last four years,” DeChambeau posted on his channels.

“I made a decision I believed in, and I’m grateful for what came with it: playing in front of fans new and old around the world who rarely got to see the best players at home. The record crowds in Adelaide and Johannesburg will stick with me for the rest of my life.

“I believed this game could reach more people, in more places, in a new way. I still believe that. And I gave it everything I had to keep team golf alive.

“I want to say thank you to the people who believed in this from the start: the staff, the operations crews, the caddies, and everyone behind the scenes at LIV and Crushers GC who bet their careers on this. You gave everything. And thank you to my Crushers teammates, our sponsors, and every fan who came out.

“I still believe in team golf. It may look different in the future, but I still believe it’s essential to growing the game.

“Arnold Palmer said no player is bigger than the game, and I want to acknowledge that, along the way, I’ve said some things that didn’t help. Whatever comes next, I’ll approach it with humility and respect for the people who carried this game long before me.

“In December, I’ll compete at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, Gary Player’s event, in front of fans who made my first visit to South Africa unforgettable. Beyond that, I’ll go about whatever is next the right way.

“My passion has been to grow this game. That’s still the goal. Thank you for sticking with me. Together we can all grow this great game we love.”
