"It's time, it's been too long" - Bryson DeChambeau calls out Tiger Woods

Bryson DeChambeau has called for a made-for-TV match between his LIV Golf team and Tiger Woods' TGL quartet. 

DeChambeau, 32, outlined his idea for the Crushers to take on Jupiter Links ahead of LIV Golf's first ever trip to South Africa.

The two-time major winner said the match would be "giving the fans what they want" and could be streamed live on Netflix. 

"How about the Crushers goes up against Jupiter Links in an 18-hole match, 4-v-4 stroke play," DeChambeau said. 

"We can just call them out right now and say let's go. Let's do it."

DeChambeau continued: "It'll never be a major, obviously, but having team golf rivalries, whether it's just the Crushers versus Southern Guards or whatnot is great.

"But imagine a scenario where we're going up against Jupiter Links on an 18-hole showcase, going up against each other on Netflix or whoever wants to put it on a show.

"I think there's a lot of opportunity for teams to go up against teams in the future that could be a big growing-the-game moment of people that never played the game watching and just tuning in. 

"Maybe they don't ever play the game, but they tune in, just like football.

"I think there's an opportunity for the world to see the game for what it could be, which is rivalries and teams against teams."

Were it to happen, it would not be the first time LIV Golf players have taken on PGA Tour stars. 

DeChambeau teamed up with Brooks Koepka to face Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in the "Showdown" in December 2024. 

McIlroy and Scheffler got the bragging rights in the exhibition match held in Las Vegas. 

DeChambeau added: "We have players against players, and we've done showcases, we've tried it, it's great, but imagine creating a culture like the NFL, like the NBA, and I guess we’re an individual sport; I understand that.

"But we do play team events. We've got the Ryder Cup. We’ve got the Presidents Cup. There should be something else. Why not?”

"There's always been rivalries, like Brooks and I and even Rory and I. There's a bit of that there.

"But what I’m saying is we're all competitive. I think one way to do that, since there's already internal built-up rivalries in the game right now, whether it’s the PGA [Tour] or LIV or TGL and LIV, let’s give the fans what they want. 

"It's time. It's been too long."
