Bryson DeChambeau’s future is in serious doubt as the end of his LIV Golf contract nears.

The two-time US Open winner is under contract through the end of the 2026 season, which ends in August, and reports say he’s exploring his options.

DeChambeau has been in heated negotiations with LIV and is asking for up to $500 million to re-sign with the tour. He was also seen speaking to PGA Tour officials about a potential return to the tour.

And during these discussions, DeChambeau has stated that he is willing to step away from full-time professional golf to become a content creator and play only the majors. He has a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers, so financially it’s feasible.

Now that the Saudi Public Investment Fund is withdrawing its support from LIV at the end of this year, if DeChambeau isn’t welcomed back on the PGA Tour, YouTube might be his only remaining option. But is it really possible for him to do content creation full-time and compete for major titles?

Dan Rapaport says Bryson DeChambeau could still win majors as a YouTuber

The biggest question isn’t if DeChambeau could be a full-time content creator. He has a huge following and a highly successful channel. But iron sharpens iron, so could he still compete for wins at the majors without playing professionally week to week?

LIV Golf appears to leave players underprepared for majors as it is. Only one LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, finished in the top 30 players at The Masters this year. So how can DeChambeau expect to win majors as a YouTuber?

Dan Rapaport, speaking on Dan on Golf, thinks that if anyone can do it, he can. Rapaport said, “He is the only guy I think could actually do it and not have his play suffer.
