Uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf’s future continues to grow, with the fate of Bryson DeChambeau remaining a major topic of speculation.

With DeChambeau’s contract set to expire, reports emerged that he held talks regarding his future at the Masters. He has previously stated he is “very serious” about potentially making a dramatic career shift.

Weighing in on the prospect of DeChambeau focusing solely on majors and his thriving YouTube career, Kim wrote on X: “I just have a hard time believing this. You can’t replace real competition reps.

“Breaking 50 with LeBron [James] isn’t the same as going against Scottie [Scheffler] at Hilton Head. Nice negotiation tactic but winning majors is his main goal and playing on the PGA Tour is the best way to get ready.”

Recent reports indicate that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund may withdraw its financial backing from the league after the conclusion of the 2026 season. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neill has moved to quash any rumors, and the Tour has continued as normal since the explosive announcement, with Jon Rahm claiming victory at LIV Golf Mexico.

PIF released a 2026–2030 strategic vision but seemed to exclude LIV Golf, while Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan indicated a reassessment of investments due to economic viability and regional conflicts. However, LIV Golf CEO O’Neil stood by his league and maintained it was still pursuing a “full throttle” approach.

Fractures in the foundation of LIV Golf began to emerge in January at the start of the 2026 season. Both Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed returned to the PGA Tour following the expiration of their contracts, and other names could follow – particularly with the future of LIV Golf uncertain.

“We’re reading all the same headlines you’re reading,” PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said during an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. “We don’t know what’s going on over there.

“We know those guys are under contract, we’ll respect that. Brooks [Koepka] came back to the PGA because he made a phone call and said, ‘Look, I’m out of my contract, I’m ready to come back.’

“So we’re thinking about it. We’ll react when we have an opportunity to react, but right now, we’re focused on making the PGA Tour better. But listen, I’ve said it publicly, and I’ll say it again, I’m interested in whatever makes the PGA Tour better. That’s what my job is, that’s what I’m interested in doing, and that has no limit, so that’s how I’ll focus on it.”
