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.
Rumors suggest that Bryson DeChambeau may be seeking an exit from LIV Golf as the league faces potential closure.
LIV Golf is reportedly at risk of closing as Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is considering withdrawing its financial support.
Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood have issued strong responses to the rumors surrounding Bryson DeChambeau's potential exit from LIV Golf.

English duo Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood have taken to their respective social media channels in response to the rumors about DeChambeau’s future with LIV Golf.
“It’s simply staggering the amount of b––––––t that pours out daily. Such a shame and disappointing. I guess it will make for a good book one day,“ Poulter fumed.

While Westwood said: “Must be Monday. New week, new b––––––t.“
The Englishmen clearly haven’t taken kindly to the DeChambeau rumors.
However, I think they are missing the point.
Why wouldn’t DeChambeau want to open dialogue with the PGA Tour, with LIV Golf facing such an uncertain future?
It would be silly for him not to, in my opinion.
Brooks Koepka paved the way for big-name LIV players to jump ship in January and Patrick Reed soon followed him.
Now DeChambeau could be the next superstar to come running back to the PGA Tour.
If he does decide to do that, it should surprise nobody, despite the fact that Poulter and Westwood may try to convince us all otherwise.
