Crucially, though, it seems Bryson DeChambeau is right on board. <\/p>\n<p>The two-times US Open champion says he is \u201cgiving all I can\u201d to support the league\u2019s survival efforts as it wrestles for new financial partners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/tour-news\/liv-golf-reveals-future-without-saudi-arabia-pif-funding\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">without the multi-billion dollar backing of the Saudi Public Investment Fund<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/tour-news\/liv-golf-korea-preview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the latest LIV stop in Korea<\/a> \u2013 where DeChambeau is defending champion \u2013 the American was asked to reflect on PIF\u2019s sudden withdrawal at the end of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were surprised that they pulled out as quickly as they did,\u201d DeChambeau said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t really see that coming. But that\u2019s okay. One door closes, another opens. I think that\u2019s the way a lot of us are looking at it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have optimism that there is a business plan that makes sense for team golf. I\u2019d quite honestly actually \u2013 how do I say it? I\u2019m very optimistic with the business plan of team golf compared to other models, in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TG understands that LIV has only a matter of weeks after its final event of the season in Michigan to gain alternate funding for 2027. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/tour-news\/liv-golf-players-fight-survival\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Several of their players have offered financial leads to chief executive Scott O\u2019Neil<\/a>, who is approaching investors with a new business plan. DeChambeau, the captain of Crushers GC, one of the league\u2019s most successful franchises, has faith that he can help sell LIV\u2019s unique team model as an attractive proposition to prospective investors. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther models have worked, as well, so I\u2019m not going to say that one is better than the other,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I do see value in what team golf can provide not only worldwide but also in grass rooting the game of golf.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational support, team national support, city local support, we grass root ourselves there. There are a couple ideas that we have \u2013 quite a few ideas that we have that could be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see if investors like it or not. I\u2019m giving all I can to make it happen, and if it doesn\u2019t, it doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uncertainty clouds the future of both DeChambeau and LIV but he certainly struck a positive tone before this week\u2019s event in Korea \u2013 the eighth event of LIV\u2019s season. DeChambeau has only months left on his contract and admitted last week that he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/tour-news\/bryson-dechambeau-weighs-up-youtube-vs-tour-pro-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unsure whether to continue playing tournament golf or only focus on content creation between majors<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It is a remarkable dilemma, but DeChambeau certainly seems serious about the prospect of channelling all his energy into growing his online audience while coveting the game\u2019s biggest trophies.  His 2024 US Open win earned him a 10-year exemption, while DeChambeau is into the Masters and the PGA Championship through until 2029. He is currently qualified for The Open, meanwhile, until Royal Lytham in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>As DeChambeau weighs up his future plans, he continues to be a source of speculation and conjecture. He was told by a reporter during his press conference on Tuesday that people now seem fixated on everything the 32-year-old says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, literally,\u201d he replied. \u201cIt\u2019s the funniest thing ever. I respect everybody that says that I\u2019m the worst thing for golf or I\u2019m the best thing for golf. It\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is I\u2019m so focused on what I can do for the game that somebody saying something online or to me personally in my face is not going to distract me from the mission that I have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen people are saying these things about me, I know my mission. I know what I\u2019m here to do. Sometimes it\u2019s tough to see, but sometimes it\u2019s an inspiration for me. Fuels positive fire in my stomach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people love to say something and you have to respect that. I think everybody\u2019s opinion is valid. All I can do is continue to be the best every single day that I can, whether I win tournaments out here, I win majors or don\u2019t win majors or finish dead last out here. It doesn\u2019t matter to me, as long as I\u2019m working as hard as I can and giving as much as I can, that\u2019s all that really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of his title defence in Korea this week, Bryson DeChambeau outlined his hopes for LIV Golf\u2019s uncertain&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-604736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
