Bryson DeChambeau breaks silence on LIV Golf future with major contract update

Bryson DeChambeau has cast fresh light on his LIV Golf future, insisting he will find a way to make things work as long as the breakaway league continues to exist. 

In an exclusive interview with Flushing It, the Crushers GC captain delivered a line that will inevitably generate plenty of attention, saying: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.”

The 32-year-old American has moved to calm growing speculation over his long-term position in the league, confirming he remains in discussions over a contract extension beyond this season. 

DeChambeau's current multi-year deal, reportedly worth more than $100m when signed in 2022, is due to expire at the end of the campaign, fuelling talk over a possible departure.

Speaking to Flushing It after withdrawing ahead of the final round at LIV Golf Mexico City on Sunday, DeChambeau acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the league’s future and his own place within it, but stressed his commitment to helping it develop.

There has been speculation that he could explore alternatives, including a return to the PGA Tour or a reduced schedule centred on YouTube content and the four majors. 

It's believed DeChambeau has been looking for a deal in the region of $500m in order to remain on LIV Golf.

However, his latest comments suggest he remains heavily invested in LIV’s long-term project. 

“There's a lot of moving parts like in any business. It’s a startup, right? And so there's going to be times where we're squeezed and punched. This is one of those moments. But I'm going to do everything in my power to make it work and I really see the value in franchise golf," DeChambeau told Flushing It.

“And you know, another reason why I'm doing this is not just for myself and the team aspect that I really believe in on the Crushers side. It's for Michael LaSasso. It's for Caleb Surratt. It's for Josele Ballester. It's for David Puig.

"Jon, Phil, DJ, myself and the guys that have been here from the start, we’re okay. It’s now our responsibility to take care of these kids that believe in us. That’s why I'm really doing it. There's so much value to squeeze out of this whole thing for golf in general.”

LIV Golf, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), has undergone significant change since its launch, with heavy spending on player recruitment, event production and prize purses now increasingly balanced against a push for sustainability and revenue growth.

It's believed the PIF has pumped a total of $5 billion into LIV Golf since inception in 2022. 

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil has already moved to reassure players and staff that the current season will continue as planned, while also outlining ambitions for long-term stability and expansion for future years to come. 

“We have never been in a better position,” O’Neil said during last week's LIV Golf Mexico City broadcast.

League sources have informed Flushing It that LIV’s revenue has reportedly doubled in 2025 compared to 2024, with more than $100 million added during the early stages of the 2026 season. 

Franchise profitability is also said to be improving, with multiple teams and events reportedly now operating in the black and ticket sales up significantly year-on-year.

Despite the progress, questions remain over the league’s structure, including its single-ownership model and the balance between branding and pure competition. 

But two-time US Open champion DeChambeau believes the dynamic is beginning to shift.

“I think that’s the best part of it,” DeChambeau told Flushing It. 

“In my opinion, it’s not just some gimmick, it’s like, okay, we’re here to be competitive.”

With his contract nearing an expiry date, DeChambeau confirmed that talks are ongoing with those above at LIV Golf, but stopped short of any guarantee over his future.

“We're still working on a potential contract," DeChambeau said. 

"I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution.

"But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I've put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I'm going to do, we’re going to make this work.”

When asked directly about what happens if no agreement is reached, he doubled down on his earlier stance.

“As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.”

For now, DeChambeau’s future remains officially unresolved — but his message leaves little doubt that he intends to stay closely tied to LIV Golf in some form, regardless of how the next chapter unfolds.
