LIV boss\u2019 deleted interview causes stir about future as Bryson spits the dummy<\/a><\/p>\nDeChambeau took aim at the condition of the Club de Golf Chapultepec course when he ended up with a bad lie after blasting a bunker shot over the green.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got destroyed grass\u2026 oh this is rough,\u201d he could be heard saying in a video taken by spectators.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys this is what we\u2019re playing on apparently!\u201d <\/p>\n
That outburst followed days of reports of LIV\u2019s impending demise.<\/p>\n
News circulated last week that Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund will withdraw its funding at the end of the season after losing $8 billion on the breakaway golf league since it began in 2022.<\/p>\n
The PIF are also eager to shift their investment focus towards technology and artificial intelligence, and keep their sport focused on football given the 2034 men\u2019s FIFA World Cup will be held in the oil-rich kingdom.<\/p>\n

LIV Golf CEO Scott O\u2019Neil revealed during the Mexico City tournament that the league are searching for new investors.<\/p>\n
They will have to stump up a lot of cash to meet DeChambeau\u2019s demands, but The Athletic\u2019s Brody Miller also stated \u201cthere\u2019s optimism within LIV that he\u2019s not going anywhere\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile also a clear concession that they cannot ever go back to the world of contracts worth hundreds of millions in guaranteed dollars,\u201d Miller continued.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil also said publicly an interview that DeChambeau is a bigger advocate of LIV Golf\u2019s global product than even he.<\/p>\n
But DeChambeau\u2019s recent public actions have suggested that he is not happy at present.<\/p>\n
The door to a PGA Tour return was opened to the world No.28, as well as Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith, earlier this year.<\/p>\n
But the trio, who have won majors in the last five years, were given three weeks to jump ship in the same way Brooks Koepka did.<\/p>\n
That deadline passed and DeChambeau appeared disgruntled when talking about his LIV future at the season-launching media events.<\/p>\n
Going forward, PGA Tour chief Brian Rolapp told ESPN that they are thinking about a clear path back for LIV player, but also said \u201cwe know those guys are under contract and we\u2019ll respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n
DeChambeau\u2019s moodiness continued in the last fortnight.<\/p>\n
At Augusta National, he scoffed at reporters who asked questions about the 3D-printed 5-iron that was in his bag.<\/p>\n
While in addition to his blow-up in Mexico City, DeChambeau was also spotted in a tense discussion with Rahm on the practice green before the first round.<\/p>\n
It is unclear what the superstar duo talked about, but The Athletic\u2019s report said it left roughly a dozen of their LIV colleagues distracted and officials had to scramble to get players into golf carts to make it to their tee in time for the shotgun start.<\/p>\n

DeChambeau was also seen brushing past children in the crowd, waiting for autographs and photos.<\/p>\n
The American has famously been extremely generous with his time at LIV events, even spending up to an hour with fans post-round on some occasions.<\/p>\n
Provided his wrist issue is not too severe, DeChambeau will return to action at LIV\u2019s Virginia event next month – a precursor to the PGA Championship.<\/p>\n
In the mean time, there are certainly plenty of problems to work through in the background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s mind was allegedly elsewhere at Augusta National earlier this month with the LIV superstar reportedly exploring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[2095,254,1724,64,11537,63,300827,62094,300831,6933,299995,3193,2791,800,222085,2105,755,29459,147193,300830,6937,2184,23956,2041,2067,300826,300823,300828,48014,6264,299777,51338,14640,121136,300824,108968,85,32278,2614,4899,12000,300825,300829],"class_list":{"0":"post-620354","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-asia","11":"tag-au","12":"tag-augusta-national-inc","13":"tag-australia","14":"tag-breakaway-golf-league","15":"tag-brian-rolapp","16":"tag-brody-miller","17":"tag-bryson-dechambeau","18":"tag-bunker-shot","19":"tag-cameron-smith","20":"tag-central-america","21":"tag-espn-inc","22":"tag-final-hole","23":"tag-getty-images-inc","24":"tag-golf","25":"tag-golf-world","26":"tag-industry-stakeholders","27":"tag-investment-focus","28":"tag-matt-fitzpatrick","29":"tag-mexico","30":"tag-mexico-city","31":"tag-north-america","32":"tag-northern-america","33":"tag-oil-rich-kingdom","34":"tag-players-rage","35":"tag-playing-majors","36":"tag-playoff-hole","37":"tag-price-tag","38":"tag-raises-eyebrows","39":"tag-royal-bank-of-canada","40":"tag-saudi-arabia","41":"tag-scott-oneil","42":"tag-season-launching-media-events","43":"tag-signs-autographs","44":"tag-sports","45":"tag-superstar-duo","46":"tag-united-states-of-america","47":"tag-virginia","48":"tag-western-asia","49":"tag-wrist-discomfort","50":"tag-wrist-issue"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
