Bryson DeChambeau confirms plan if LIV Golf fails

"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 tournaments that want me."

DeChambeau's LIV contract is up at the end of this season, with reports suggesting that he had been negotiating a new deal before the news of PIF’s withdrawal.

He admitted that the announcement had come as a surprise, but that he hopes that it might enable golf to come back together.

"I was completely shocked," DeChambeau said. "I didn't expect it to happen. A couple 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.

"And then, you know, I haven't had any communication. And unfortunately, things are moving on in a different direction. Obviously, they wanted to move on.

"If we have a great business model and they're [PGA Tour, DP World Tour] very interested in combining forces, that's the Kumbaya moment, right?

"So, it's our job to come up with a better business plan on the [top company] side. The team franchises, there's enough making profit now to where we could sell them for close to $200m (£147m), and that's not talking about my team either.

"I think it requires a little bit of everybody kind of just lowering their guards and all coming together and going: 'OK, what's best for the game of golf?'"
