Bryson DeChambeau's team golf vision ripped to shreds: "What does he think is going to happen?"

Bryson DeChambeau's lofty aspirations for team golf are pure fantasy, according to Dan Rapaport.

Bryson DeChambeau's aspirations for team golf are too far-fetched, according to Dan Rapaport. 

DeChambeau, 32, told The New York Post last week that his "ultimate goal" would be for each LIV Golf team to have their own course and stadium. 

The American also revealed he hopes to play tournaments on the PGA Tour again while still competing on LIV should it survive beyond 2026.

Rapaport told the latest edition of Dan on Golf that it doesn't hurt to "dream big" but doesn't believe DeChambeau's idea is possible.

"This stadium idea, what does he expect to happen with these teams?" Rapaport said on the latest edition of his podcast.

"This is their fifth season of doing this, and they had this incredible cheat code of the Saudi PIF slush fund. 

"You couldn't have given this team thing a more proper go. 

"And I'm not saying that there's no place for team golf, but this idea of having teams with stadiums, what does he expect to rub his hands together and find some magic potion [and] all of a sudden the Crushers are selling out TPC Scottsdale with 200,000 people?

"What does he think is going to happen?"

DeChambeau also outlined his aspirations to play on the PGA Tour again. 

As things stand, that is not possible as he has been permanently banned since making the jump to LIV in 2022. 

In February, DeChambeau rejected the opportunity to return to the PGA Tour via a one-time returning member programme. 

The offer was also made to Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith but Brooks Koepka was the only player to take advantage. 

"Personally, I'd love to be able to play events on the PGA Tour, too. I think that's best for golf. I'd love that.

"It's not an either/or mentality. It's 'can we do both?' I think that's where everybody wants to be.

"There isn't a golf fan on the planet who doesn't want to see me play a big tour event, and I get that. 

"I'd love to go play events that make sense, love to play team golf, and love to play wherever they'll let me. - Bryson DeChambeau

Koepka also agreed to multitude of substantial penalties before making his comeback. 

He made a donation of $5m to charity and has been excluded from the PGA Tour's player equity program until 2030. 

Koepka also had to play his way into the bigger events and wasn't eligible for FedEx Cup bonus money this season.

Whether DeChambeau would agree to similar demands is another matter.

A potential return for DeChambeau is also further complicated by the fact that he was among a contingent of LIV players that took the PGA Tour to court.

It left a sour taste amongst the PGA Tour membership. 

DeChambeau may need the PGA Tour to agree a deal with LIV for his wishes to come true but any lingering hope of a merger between the two circuits suffered a significant blow earlier in the week. 

A framework agreement between LIV's bankroller, the PGA Tour and DP World Tour was announced in June 2023. 

PGA Tour boss Brian Rolapp categorically ruled out the possibility of a deal being negotiated
