Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s future with LIV Golf is very much up in the air right now.<\/p>\n

DeChambeau left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf way back in June 2022.<\/p>\n

However, he unquestionably would have thought at the time that LIV Golf as a product would be much more successful than it has been.<\/p>\n

Brooks Koepka<\/a> left LIV Golf to rejoin the PGA Tour<\/a> in January, while Patrick Reed<\/a> followed him a few weeks later.<\/p>\n

Now LIV Golf leaders must be very concerned that Bryson DeChambeau could do the same<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Scott O\u2019Neil<\/a> insisted that DeChambeau is fully committed to LIV Golf<\/a>. Is that really the case, though?<\/p>\n

What Bryson DeChambeau asked PGA Tour officials during The Masters<\/p>\n

DeChambeau endured a difficult week at The Masters<\/a>, and ended up missing the cut by two shots.<\/p>\n

However, it seems like he made use of his trip to Augusta National<\/a> in other ways.<\/p>\n

It seems like the two-time U.S. Open champion could be eyeing up a return to the PGA Tour very soon.<\/p>\n

Brody Miller, writing for The Athletic<\/a>, made the claim about DeChambeau.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to golf industry sources, DeChambeau and his team spent a part of Masters week meeting with organizations to discuss possible options if he chose to leave LIV.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeculation persists that, in the wake of others leaving LIV for the PGA Tour earlier this year, his ask to re-sign is up to $500 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeChambeau has even used his YouTube success as a leverage play with all potential suitors, indicating he\u2019s open to only filming content and playing the four major championships.\u201c<\/p>\n

With rumors suggesting that Saudi Arabia\u2019s PIF could be set to withdraw their funding of LIV Golf, DeChambeau is clearly exploring contingency plans.<\/p>\n

What does the future hold for DeChambeau?<\/p>\n

DeChambeau is more than entitled to sound out the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

Given LIV\u2019s current situation, DeChambeau must have concerns about the long-term viability of the league.<\/p>\n

Even if the 32-year-old doesn\u2019t return to the PGA Tour, he has made it clear that a future in YouTube golf could be the way forward for him.<\/p>\n

DeChambeau cut an extremely frustrated figure throughout the week at LIV Golf Mexico.<\/p>\n

He withdrew before his final round, with The Athletic\u2019s Brody Miller reporting that \u201cDeChambeau seemed frustrated after his 2-over round and declined to speak, even uncharacteristically walking past autograph-seeking kids.\u201c<\/p>\n

Something is clearly not right with the 32-year-old American right now, with his career path completely up in the air.<\/p>\n

Could he return to the PGA Tour? Will he focus purely on his content creation for YouTube? Or will he remain with LIV Golf?<\/p>\n

Nobody knows right now but I suspect we will find out the answer soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s future with LIV Golf is very much up in the air right now.
