Flushing It@flushingitgolf·
Bryson DeChambeau has been the face of LIV Golf since joining in 2022. He regularly faces media and has been the most outspoken player in regard to how much he believes in the product. Now with reports that the PIF are cutting funding at the end of the 2026 season, how committed is he? Speaking to Flushing It Golf after LIV Golf Mexico City, Bryson said: “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. “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 has been well funded since inception. Spending enormous amounts of money to sign players to upfront contracts, hosting lavish parties, having massive build outs and offering the largest event to event purses in the sport. But now the blank cheques are coming to an end, things clearly need to change. After reaching out directly to officials familiar with this aspect of the league, they insist they are focused on securing more income and funding, rather than cuts, and appear bullish with how that is trending. League sources say they’ve doubled revenue in 2025 from the previous year and have added more than $100 million already in the 2026 season through the first 5 events. 10 franchises will be profitable, as well as 4 events, and their ticket sales are up over 130% year over year. CEO Scott O’Neil said on last week’s broadcast, “we have never been in a better position.” If outside investment comes in, particularly to the franchises, as a byproduct it will help address the obvious issue of having one owner for all of the teams. The competitive aspect of the league has been flawed since the start, with more focus on building brands than the actual performances on the golf course. Results will suddenly matter more than they ever have. “I think that’s the best part of it,” Bryson said. “In my opinion, it’s not just some gimmick, it’s like, okay, we’re here to be competitive.” No matter how much the revenue increases, a sports league is not sustainable without star players. Bryson DeChambeau is the definition of that. With his current contract up at the end of this year, how are his negotiations going for a renewal? “We're still working on a potential contract. 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 what happens if they can’t make it work, he doubled down: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.” There’s been much speculation about Bryson DeChambeau’s future over the last few months, and now you have it from the man himself. Pay attention to those who widely shared “reports” of Bryson looking for options outside of LIV Golf but don’t aggregate these quotes. They are not trustworthy news sources. @brysondech @Crushers_GC @livgolf_league

Who remembers Eritreans rioting on the streets of London? We can, but we can't remember any even being put to the courts nevermind jailed. Yet the English got jailed en masse for social media posts, emptying prisons of violent and sexual criminals to make way for them.

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests. She’s only 16. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill her.

Course analysis this week in Mexico City for our 6th @livgolf_league event of the year🇲🇽 - Number crunching week, 12.5% altitude (more than Steyn City was) ✖️➖➕➗ - ⁠Poa Annua on the greens, typically bumpy as the day goes on 🌱 - ⁠Severe green complexed with andulations, pace control will be key 📉 - ⁠Fairways in reg will be key this week over distance because the kikuyu grass makes shot from the rough unpredictable 🎯 Let’s go @MajesticksGC 💪🏼

@ZackPolanski @y_alibhai Noticed how he never mentions the 45k Iranians citizens killed by the Islamic regime in January! Or the thousands killed in Sudan, Nigeria, Syria etc. etc. all by Islamist militants.

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

Her parents flew into Britain a week before her birth to game the system in 1980 and get her British nationality. 2 weeks later they were all back in Nigeria. This loophole was banned in 1983. Simple question. Is Kemi Badenoch British in your opinion?

The more I read about the US mission to rescue their 2nd downed airman in Iran, the more astounding it is. Kudos to the CIA, SEAL Team 6, and all the others involved in finding their man & getting him out. And to him, for incredible guts & tenacity. nypost.com/2026/04/05/wor…

You’re allowed to wave Hamas flags. Hezbollah flags. Flags of the USSR. IRGC flags. ISIS flags. Gay pride flags. But don’t you dare wave the British flag or a police officer will confiscate it and arrest you for incitement and racism. Welcome to the UK.

Billy Bragg on stage at the Together Alliance march Where he also pays tribute to the people of Minneapolis who stood up against ICE "Last year's Unite the Kingdom march organised by Tommy Robinson was the most divisive event in the country over the last ten years" "Commentators were saying these people have justified concerns" "That may be the case" "But their solutions, are not justifiable in any way" "Remigration, the forced deportation of our fellow citizens. We've seen what that looks like in the USA" "And if it does come to that in this country then we will have to be as courageous as the people of Minneapolis who stood in the streets" *Breaks into his song City Of Heroes* 🎵 The ghost of Martin Niemöller 🎵 Haunts the halls of history 🎵 When they came for the communists 🎵 He said, “It’s nothing to do with me” 🎵 When they came for the democrats 🎵 He looked the other way 🎵 And when they came for Jews 🎵 He had nothing to say 🎵 His silence didn’t save him 🎵 When they came for him as well 🎵 There was no one to speak out for him 🎵 Resistance had been quelled 🎵 What excuses would you tell yourself 🎵 If this ever happened to you? 🎵 Well, I live in a city of heroes 🎵 I know what I would do 🎵 When they came for the immigrants 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came for the refugees 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came for the five-year-olds 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came to my neighborhood 🎵 I just got in their face 🎵 With their tear gas and pepper spray 🎵 Against our whistles and our phones 🎵 But in this city of heroes 🎵 We will protect our home 🎵 When they took people from their cars 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they dragged people from their homes 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they murdered our sister 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 And when they murdered our brother 🎵 I still got in their face 🎵 In Dachau, Martin Niemöller 🎵 Suffered for his complicity 🎵 But in this city of heroes 🎵 We learn the lessons of history 🎵 I will bear witness to murder 🎵 I will bear witness to tyranny 🎵 I will bear witness to terror 🎵 I will bear witness to fascism

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Kriss Donald: “I’m only 15, what have I done?” “Kriss was snatched while walking with a friend, forced into a stolen silver Mercedes despite desperate resistance—he reportedly cried out, ‘I’m only 15, what have I done?’” The UK’s most shocking racially motivated killing. A Pakistani gang targeted him because he was white. He was taken to a flat where he endured hours of prolonged torture and brutality. The perpetrators stabbed him repeatedly (13 times, including a severe throat wound), beat him, and eventually doused him in petrol and set him alight while still alive. Forgotten... The anniversary of #KrissDonald’s death is tomorrow, 15 March, 2004.
