Bryson DeChambeau reveals ‘viable’ LIV Golf alternative with all eyes on his future

All eyes are on Bryson DeChambeau’s next steps — and whether it includes a membership on a professional golf tour.

Speaking to Front Office Sports on Wednesday, the LIV Golf star, 32, said a focus on YouTube while competing in major championships without an affiliation to a golf circuit is an “incredibly viable option,” as contract talks with the Saudi-backed league continue with the PGA Tour lurking in the background.

“That’s an incredibly viable option, I’ll tell you that,” said DeChambeau of the video platform, where he boasts 2.57 million subscribers and streams his popular “Break 50” series that has featured the likes of Steph Curry, Tom Brady and President Donald Trump.

“Doing the course record series and playing ‘Break 50s,’ it does keep me quite dialed in for tournament golf, that’s why I do it right before competition. It’s a possibility, the financial opportunities are there, and I’m excited to see what comes in the future.”

Although DeChambeau’s immediate future is tied to LIV, what happens after remains to be seen.

“We are negotiating now and hopefully we can come to a solution where it makes sense for everyone long term,” he said. “And if not, we will see what happens.”

A two-time U.S. Open champion, DeChambeau is one of three LIV golfers eligible to return to the PGA Tour via its Returning Members Program, which was announced Monday in conjunction with its Brooks Koepka reunion.

The program, which vowed to close its doors on Feb. 2, would welcome back esteemed golfers who have either won the Players Championship or a major between 2022 and 2025, as well as accepting a hefty financial penalty.

DeChambeau meets the criteria to return with his 2024 U.S. Open victory, in addition to Jon Rahm (2023 Masters champ) and Cam Smith (2022 winner of The Open).

The trio voiced their commitment to LIV on Tuesday.

“Right now, I’ve got a contract. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do at LIV Golf this year,” DeChambeau said.

Koepka, who split from LIV in December after four seasons, will make his first PGA Tour start of 2026 at the Farmers Insurance Open later this month.
