Bryson DeChambeau said Tuesday that he\u2019s giving \u201call I can\u201d to ensure that LIV Golf has a future beyond this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the LIV Golf event in Korea, the second event since the Saudi Public Investment Fund officially announced that it was ending its funding following the conclusion of this season, DeChambeau said that he still views the league\u2019s prospects optimistically, specifically team golf, despite the loss of its deep-pocketed financial backers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were surprised that they pulled out as quickly as they did. We didn\u2019t really see that coming. But that\u2019s OK. One door closes, another opens. I think that\u2019s the way a lot of us are looking at it,\u201d DeChambeau told reporters in Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we all have optimism that there is a business plan that makes sense for team golf. I\u2019m very optimistic with the business plan of team golf compared to other models, in my opinion. … I do see value in what team golf can provide not only worldwide but also in grass-rooting the game of golf. National support, team national support, city, local support, we grass-root ourselves there.<\/p>\n

\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

LIV CEO Scott O\u2019Neil is currently taking the product to market, with reports that he\u2019s seeking $250 million in outside funding and projecting that the league could be profitable in two years \u2013 a stark departure from his previous statements that LIV would need another five to 10 years to get in the black. There\u2019s also the possibility that the league could be downsized, to 10 international events with smaller purses.<\/p>\n

\"LIV<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

LIV Golf seeks to raise up to $350 million from investors as its post-PIF reality sets in, according to CNBC\u2019s Dominic Chu.<\/p>\n

In its current form, LIV is reportedly burning through $100 million per month, and the PIF\u2019s investment is expected to reach more than $6 billion by the end of this season.<\/p>\n

LIV\u2019s long-term goal is to create 13 billion-dollar franchises, and the league is currently in the early stages of reviewing strategic options for team equity sales.<\/p>\n

What becomes of LIV\u2019s current roster of players remains to be seen, however. Though Jon Rahm said he doesn\u2019t see \u201cmany ways out\u201d of his current deal<\/a>, DeChambeau\u2019s initial LIV contract expires at the end of the year. He has already expressed his interest in returning to the league, but he also said if they can\u2019t reach an agreement \u2013 and if the conditions to return to the PGA Tour are too severe \u2013 then he could potentially become a full-time content creator and only play the major championships.<\/p>\n

DeChambeau has a pair of wins on LIV this season but has missed the cut in both majors this year \u2013 the first time he\u2019s missed two major cuts since 2017. He said Tuesday that his focus remains on his game, even with so much uncertainty surrounding his short-term future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the background, yeah, we\u2019re trying to help where we can,\u201d he said, \u201cbut ultimately, it\u2019s up to the executives and everybody banding together. If we all band together, there\u2019s an opportunity here. If not, it\u2019s going to be a different day for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau said Tuesday that he\u2019s giving \u201call I can\u201d to ensure that LIV Golf has a future…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":666487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-666486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666486","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=666486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/666487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=666486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=666486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
