Rumors are rife that Bryson DeChambeau could be seeking an exit from LIV Golf imminently.

DeChambeau is LIV Golf’s biggest star but it’s no surprise that he is slightly disillusioned right now.

Claims emerged last week that LIV Golf could be set to close down imminently, with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund considering pulling funding from the project.

LIV Golf started up in June 2022, but it’s fair to say that, as things stand, they haven’t made the progress they would have liked.

There have been sprinklings of success, with DeChambeau winning the U.S. Open in 2024 and former LIV golfer Brooks Koepka’s triumph at the PGA Championship in 2023.

However, the vast majority of LIV players have flattered to deceive in the major championships over the past four years.

Now things could be set to get even worse for LIV, with DeChambeau having apparently sounded out PGA Tour officials about a potential return.

With LIV Golf’s future clearly up in the air right now, DeChambeau is obviously keen to line up contingency plans.

Or is he? Not according to two of his fellow LIV golfers, it seems.
