Bryson DeChambeauās golfing future remains up in the air amid the major concerns surrounding LIV Golf.
The American is one of the most high-profile figures on the Saudi-backed tour, which is set to lose its funding from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) at the end of the season.
Also coming to an end this season is DeChambeauās LIV Golf contract, after which he has suggested he is open to pursuing content creation full-time.
DeChambeau would play only in tournaments that want him as part of that strategy too, which Rex Hoggard has now reacted to.
Rex Hoggard suggests Bryson DeChambeau may not be welcome back on PGA Tour
Speaking on the Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav, he said: āIt is a tectonic shift over the last two weeks with the PIF announcing they will be pulling that funding.
āThat means essentially that all of the leverage goes back to the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.
āI am not quite sure what business school Bryson went to that he thinks in his mind that suddenly he has some form of leverage that he didnāt before.
āFirst and foremost he is assuming that LIV Golf will be able to match his contract, which we have heard various reports, but we are looking at nine figures and his contract is due this year.
āIt is hard to imagine they are able to come up with a large sum of money without the PIF behind them.
āWhat I would also say, and Iām speaking now from the PGA Tour side of this, I am not quite sure how much he is going to be welcomed back given those types of comments.
āBrooks Koepka was an entirely different scenario. The Returning Member Program gave him a pathway which was punitive, as I pointed out, and to a certain degree made you agree that I made a mistake.
