Bryson DeChambeau admitted that several LIV golfers were caught off guard after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced its financial commitment will end at the conclusion of the 2026 season.
“We were surprised that they pulled out as quickly as they did,” DeChambeau said on Tuesday, two days prior to the start of LIV Golf Korea.
“We didn’t really see that coming. But that’s OK. One door closes, another opens. I think that’s the way a lot of us are looking at it. I think we all have optimism that there is a business plan that makes sense for team golf. I’d quite honestly actually — how do I say it? I’m very optimistic with the business plan of team golf compared to other models, in my opinion.”
