The golf world is still reacting to the news that Brooks Koepka is returning to the PGA Tour, but could his longtime rival, Bryson DeChambeau, be following as well?<\/p>\n

DeChambeau is one of three other LIV stars \u2013 including Aussie Cam Smith \u2013 who could accept the PGA Tour\u2019s one-time offer and return without a suspension (Koepka made a $US5 million donation as a fine and forfeited some future equity in the PGA Tour to make the deal happen) and his contract with the Saudi-backed league runs out at the end of 2026. So what did he do the day after the big Brooks news?<\/p>\n

Hmm. . . Interesting. . .<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would you do?\u201d DeChambeau asked while posing near an EXIT sign. Golf\u2019s Content King is a social media engagement master, but this is also showing some savvy business sense.<\/p>\n

Bryson already had LIV in a tough spot with his contract negotiations based on his rising popularity, but with Brooks leaving, the two-time US Open champ has even more leverage. And he certainly knows it.<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, Bovada released odds of DeChambeau returning to the PGA Tour in 2026 at +185 (so about 2-to-1 odds). The sportsbook had Jon Rahm at +475 and Cam Smith at +750, but none of those players taking the deal as a big -325 favourite.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Bryson has some thinking \u2013 and negotiating \u2013 to do before the PGA Tour\u2019s February 2 deadline. Clock\u2019s ticking!<\/p>\n
