Bryson DeChambeau Proud of LIV Golf as League Faces Uncertain Future

Posted : 24 August 2026

Bryson DeChambeau has praised LIV Golf for changing the professional game and says he remains optimistic about its future, despite growing uncertainty surrounding the breakaway league.

LIV Golf concluded its 2026 season in Indianapolis after the planned Team Championship in Michigan was cancelled. The league is now preparing for a major transition following the decision by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to end its financial backing after this season.

DeChambeau, one of the biggest names to join LIV when it launched in 2022, acknowledged that the competition has experienced both successes and setbacks. However, he believes those challenges have helped strengthen the organization and could lead to an improved version of the league.

The American said he was proud that LIV had introduced something different to professional golf. He also hinted that supporters could see significant changes when the proposed “LIV 2.0” takes shape, adding that he believes there is something exciting ahead.

LIV chief executive Scott O’Neil has outlined plans for a more financially disciplined operation, with a smaller schedule and a new investment structure. The league has been working to secure fresh funding after the withdrawal of the PIF, while player commitment remains an important part of negotiations.

The future of several leading players is also unclear. Jon Rahm, who won his third consecutive LIV individual championship, has been linked with a possible return to the PGA Tour, while DeChambeau's own future beyond 2026 has also attracted speculation.

Despite the uncertainty, Rahm said the off-course issues had not affected his performances. The Spaniard continued to focus on competition and helped his Legion XIII team secure another season-long team championship.

On the course in Indianapolis, rookie Michael La Sasso produced the biggest surprise of the finale. The 22-year-old carded a final-round 65 to finish at 18-under par, beating Rahm by one stroke and becoming the youngest winner in LIV Golf history.

DeChambeau finished alongside Sergio Garcia in third at 16-under. Although the result was not enough to challenge La Sasso for the title, DeChambeau's comments reinforced his continued support for LIV as the league attempts to establish a sustainable future.
