For example, DeChambeau could film an entire practice round at a PGA Tour event and publish it as part of his\u00a0popular Break 50 series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeChambeau has made it clear that the growth of his YouTube channel \u2014\u00a0which has 2.69 million followers \u2014 is one of his top priorities as he hits golf\u2019s version of free agency.<\/p>\n<p>The future of LIV Golf is very much in question after Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund (PIF) recently announced that they are pulling their financial backing.<\/p>\n<p>LIV CEO Scott O\u2019Neil is leading a search for private-investment capital in order to keep the rebel league alive this year.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if the league is able to survive it is unclear if they will be able to afford the type of contract that DeChambeau could command \u2014\u00a0with a $500 million number being rumored recently.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:1.49926794;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"39319578\" width=\"885\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bryson-dechambeau-plays-shot-fifth-125312749.jpg\" alt=\"Bryson DeChambeau plays his shot from the fifth tee during the first round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.\" class=\"wp-image-39319578\"  \/>Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s LIV Golf contract is up after this season. Bill Streicher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I can tell you about Bryson is, in my 34 years in sports, I\u2019ve never met an athlete this purely focused on growing his brand in an authentic way,\u2019\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/06\/sports\/scott-oneil-has-massive-liv-golf-plans-for-bryson-dechambeau\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">O\u2019Neil told The Post\u2019s Mark Cannizzaro this week.<\/a> \u201cHe lives it.
