<\/p>\nLIV stars are eyeing the exit door after the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrew support for next season. <\/p>\n
Bryson DeChambeau has been seen speaking to PGA Tour officials, exploring his options about a potential return that the tour is unwilling to offer him, and others seeking a return, the same deal that was offered to Brooks Koepka this year.<\/p>\n

Koepka came back to the PGA Tour this season under a specific set of circumstances. He paid $5 million to charity and agreed not to receive sponsor exemptions to Signature Events or FedEx Cup bonus money.<\/p>\n
That same deal was offered to DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cameron Smith, but they didn\u2019t accept it by the deadline set by the tour. The PGA Tour made clear that this was a one-time only offer.<\/p>\n
But should this offer be given to DeChambeau and Rahm once again, now that LIV\u2019s future is in doubt? World number three Cameron Young shared his thoughts.<\/p>\n

Cameron Young said it won\u2019t be \u2018as simple\u2019 for Bryson DeChambeau to return to the PGA Tour<\/p>\n
Cameron Young has broken out as the PGA Tour\u2019s newest star with an incredible season so far in 2026. He won The Players and The Cadillac Championship, and went head-to-head with Rory McIlroy down the stretch at The Masters.<\/p>\n

And with that newfound star status, he\u2019s now facing questions about the future of LIV players like DeChambeau and Rahm. His take is that it won\u2019t be as simple for them as it was for Koepka, who was the only one to take the original offer.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Pat McAfee show, he said, \u201cI feel like it\u2019s a little bit tricky because I think it\u2019s been great to have Brooks back. He\u2019s a fan favorite. He\u2019s a great golfer. Great major championship player. So, I\u2019m happy to have him back. I think it\u2019s good for the PGA Tour. I think it\u2019s good for the game to get to see him more.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I mean, the tour did have the system that they put in place for him. They had the opportunity this January for some of those guys, a select few, to come back. And Brooks was the only one to take that opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo now, I mean, it\u2019s not up to me, but I think the PGA Tour, I imagine, they will find a way for some of those guys to come back, but I don\u2019t know if it will be as simple as it was for Brooks. His relatively time-wise, he didn\u2019t have to sit out or anything like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I really have no good information on what will happen. But all in all, I mean, I play golf to play golf against the best players in the world. That\u2019s one of the main things that drives me, is to is to compete.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I don\u2019t know, to me, there\u2019s a handful of really, really good players that are over there, and seeing them four times a year, I\u2019d probably rather compete against them more. So, if you\u2019re asking me, I\u2019d probably like to see them back in some capacity, however they decide that\u2019s going to work out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019d like it to be fair to both sides. I think I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any reason to unduly punish them coming back, but at the same time, like you said, you know, it felt like kind of an all or nothing decision to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, up to people smarter than me to figure out how it all is going to work out.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Brian Rolapp said about Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm returning to the PGA Tour<\/p>\n
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp was recently asked about this very subject. He made an appearance on the Trey Wingo podcast and spoke on LIV Golf\u2019s current state and the future of its players on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
He said he\u2019s none the wiser on the future of LIV Golf now it has lost PIF funding. Rolapp said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m like everybody else, I\u2019m just reading things as they come across. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. It would be premature for me to speculate, so I don\u2019t have a lot to say. I just see the same stories everybody else sees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I\u2019ve said, we\u2019re pretty focused on what we\u2019re doing here and how we\u2019re making the PGA Tour better, so that\u2019s clearly where my focus is.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also isn\u2019t yet willing to say what deal he would offer DeChambeau and Rahm if they were to seek a return.<\/p>\n
Rolapp added, \u201cI\u2019ve always said on this subject, I\u2019m interested in doing whatever makes the PGA Tour better. Fans want the best players playing together. I\u2019ve always said that from day one when I took the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving said that, I don\u2019t know what the circumstances are. Once there\u2019s clarity, we\u2019ll cross that bridge, but we\u2019re clearly not there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Rolapp doesn\u2019t know what the deal is, then it\u2019s not likely to be the same as the one Koepka received. There\u2019s a lot to work out in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LIV stars are eyeing the exit door after the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrew support for next season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[18939,15547,18938,40534,427,13755,15837,3332,99],"class_list":["post-629111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-brooks-koepka","tag-bryson-dechambeau","tag-cameron-smith","tag-cameron-young","tag-golf","tag-jon-rahm","tag-liv","tag-pga-tour","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
