Cameron Young says if the PGA Tour should offer Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm the same deal as Brooks Koepka

“But I mean, the tour did have the system that they put in place for him. They had the opportunity this January for some of those guys, a select few, to come back. And Brooks was the only one to take that opportunity.

“So now, I mean, it’s not up to me, but I think the PGA Tour, I imagine, they will find a way for some of those guys to come back, but I don’t know if it will be as simple as it was for Brooks. His relatively time-wise, he didn’t have to sit out or anything like that.

“So, I really have no good information on what will happen. But all in all, I mean, I play golf to play golf against the best players in the world. That’s one of the main things that drives me, is to is to compete.

“And I don’t know, to me, there’s a handful of really, really good players that are over there, and seeing them four times a year, I’d probably rather compete against them more. So, if you’re asking me, I’d probably like to see them back in some capacity, however they decide that’s going to work out.

“And you’d like it to be fair to both sides. I think I don’t think there’s any reason to unduly punish them coming back, but at the same time, like you said, you know, it felt like kind of an all or nothing decision to go.

“So, up to people smarter than me to figure out how it all is going to work out.”

What Brian Rolapp said about Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm returning to the PGA Tour

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp was recently asked about this very subject. He made an appearance on the Trey Wingo podcast and spoke on LIV Golf’s current state and the future of its players on the PGA Tour.

He said he’s none the wiser on the future of LIV Golf now it has lost PIF funding. Rolapp said,

“I’m like everybody else, I’m just reading things as they come across. I don’t know what’s going on. It would be premature for me to speculate, so I don’t have a lot to say. I just see the same stories everybody else sees.

“As I’ve said, we’re pretty focused on what we’re doing here and how we’re making the PGA Tour better, so that’s clearly where my focus is.”

He also isn’t yet willing to say what deal he would offer DeChambeau and Rahm if they were to seek a return.

Rolapp added, “I’ve always said on this subject, I’m interested in doing whatever makes the PGA Tour better. Fans want the best players playing together. I’ve always said that from day one when I took the job.

“Having said that, I don’t know what the circumstances are. Once there’s clarity, we’ll cross that bridge, but we’re clearly not there yet.”

If Rolapp doesn’t know what the deal is, then it’s not likely to be the same as the one Koepka received. There’s a lot to work out in the coming months.
