Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s options for his future may be limited if LIV Golf<\/a> is unable to survive amid the league\u2019s current financial uncertainty. LIV Golf\u2019s CEO Scott O\u2019Neil announced on August 19, that the league faces a deadline when it comes to finding new funding.<\/p>\n O\u2019Neil\u2019s comments come after LIV Golf canceled the team championship scheduled to end the season in Michigan.<\/p>\n \u201cCEO Scott O\u2019Neil admitted Wednesday that LIV Golf has \u2018a very compressed timeline\u2019 to finalize a deal with a new lead investor, and such an agreement will require buy-in from a majority of the current player roster,\u201d Reuters detailed<\/a> in an August 19, story titled, \u201cCEO says LIV faces deadline for funding deal, needs player buy-in.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 With the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrawing its support \u200cafter the end of the current season, LIV faces an uncertain future that could involve filing for bankruptcy as vendors and even players have said they are still awaiting certain paychecks.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s explore the latest golf news and rumors when it comes to DeChambeau\u2019s future.<\/p>\n Bryson DeChambeau Is \u2018All-In on Keeping LIV Alive\u2019<\/p>\n DeChambeau faces a decision on whether to continue with LIV Golf as the golfer\u2019s financial interest appears to be heavily tied to the future of the league. The star has left the door open for a potential return to the PGA Tour<\/a>, but the organization will need to decide how to handle touted golfers like DeChambeau and Jon Rahm if the athletes bolt LIV.<\/p>\n DeChambeau has also floated the idea of becoming a full-time content creator and not playing in either league. O\u2019Neil name dropped DeChambeau during his press conference which revealed a \u201cvery compressed timeline\u201d for finding funding.<\/p>\n The star is \u201call-in on keeping LIV alive,\u201d reports Reuters.<\/p>\n \u201cBut one player who appears to be all-in on keeping LIV alive is \u200bBryson DeChambeau,\u201d Reuters added. \u201cGoldthorpe\u2019s BC \u2060Partners has a stake in DeChambeau\u2019s agency, GSE, and DeChambeau reportedly led a players\u2019 meeting at LIV Golf New York in Bedminster, N.J.\u201d<\/p>\n LIV Golf CEO Scott O\u2019Neil on Byrson DeChambeau: \u2018I Certainly Hope He\u2019s With Us for the Future\u2019<\/p>\n LIV Golf faces mounting issues including lawsuits, claims of missed payments, lack of potential funding for 2027 and beyond as well as the risk of stars like DeChambeau and Rahm departing in the coming months. DeChambeau may be \u201call-in\u201d on LIV Golf continuing, but it may not matter if the league is forced to fold.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a lot of time for Bryson,\u201d O\u2019Neil noted during his press conference, per Reuters. \u201cI talk to him quite a bit. Having spent 30 years in this business of sports, spending time with professional athletes for most of it, I\u2019ve never met one \u2060who\u2019s truly, \u200btruly \u2014 not what they say but what they do, truly focused and be mission driven, and he\u2019s \u200bone of those guys. He cares about the global game of golf.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 Bryson has become a good friend, a good advocate of the league. I certainly hope he\u2019s with us for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n PGA Tour Rumors Loom for Bryson DeChambeau Amid LIV Golf\u2019s Uncertain Future<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Paolo Uggetti<\/a> reported that DeChambeau was among the golfers at a LIV Golf meeting on Tuesday, August 18. Despite chatter about a potential PGA Tour return, DeChambeau\u2019s actions indicate LIV Golf continues to be his preferred option.<\/p>\n The challenge is it may not matter if the league is unable to secure firm funding for 2027 and beyond.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile two-time U.S. Open winner DeChambeau has been involved in trying to maintain and shape the league\u2019s future, meeting alongside O\u2019Neil with investors and even leading a players-only meeting at Trump National Golf Club earlier this month, Rahm\u2019s commitment to the league beyond this year is far more unclear,\u201d Uggetti wrote in an August 18, story titled, \u201cLIV players have mixed feelings after meeting proposed investor.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe PGA Tour, for its part, has been consistent in that it cannot contact Rahm or discuss the specifics of a return until it is proved he\u2019s out of his LIV contract.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJonathan Adams<\/a> is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
