Bryson DeChambeau has denied reports he is looking to leave LIV Golf before the end of the year.

The future of the breakaway series has been plunged into doubt after Saudi Arabia said it will withdraw its multi-billion dollar backing at the end of the 2026 season.

LIV Golf is now searching to find replacement financial investment under a new independent board but the situation has raised questions about the organisation's ability to keep some of its biggest stars, including two-time major winner DeChambeau.

Reports last week suggested DeChambeau's representatives had started talks with PGA Tour executives over a return.

"It's completely untrue. I'm working as hard as I can to find a solution," the 32-year-old American told Flushing It Golf on whether he was looking to leave the series before the end of the year.

"I'm committed to making team golf work in the best way possible.

"I think there's a place for it in the ecosystem and I want to continue to grow the game across the world. That's always been our mission and it's never been more true than now."

• Saudi Arabia to stop funding LIV Golf next season

LIV Golf caused a major split in 2022 when it started luring star names away from the PGA Tour with the offer of huge pay increases.

DeChambeau joined LIV Golf in 2022 and, along with fellow stars Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith, turned down the chance to return to the PGA Tour earlier this year.
