So I had a few people wanting me to remind everyone some of the things I’ve been right about since @livgolf_league started in 2022. Non-public info, analysis, predictions, opinions. Let’s recap! ✅ #LIVGolf wasn’t going anywhere & would continue growing. ✅ @PGATOUR would reduce its footprint (events, cards). ✅ LIV would get exemptions into majors (decided April 2024) - NO ONE was talking about that (publicly) then. ✅ Rahm was going to LIV (Oct 2023). ✅ Meronk going to LIV (Nov 2023). ✅ Hatton going to LIV (Dec 2023). ✅ Tiger was starting a clothing brand with TaylorMade 3 months before announced. ✅ Equipment companies sponsoring LIV teams (PING, Callaway). ✅ Gooch to Smash in 2024. ✅ Wolff to Smash in 2023. ✅ Ludvig was being crowned too soon. ✅ LIV would expand to more players - 54 now (and eventually 60). ✅ Brooks would win a major in 2023. ✅ Bryson would win a major in 2024. ❌ Rahm would win a major in 2025. PPD. ✅ LIV deal with Fox. ✅ LIV deal with ITV. ✅ LIV playing night golf in Saudi in 2025. ✅ Ballester would go to LIV. ❓Finau would go to LIV. TBD. ✅ Phil would be vindicated on everything he was fighting for (obnoxious PGAT greed, etc). PGAT magically found $200m💰 ✅ Scottie would have a performance drop off end of 2024 into 2025. True - but he rebounded faster than I thought. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ❓LIV would get OWGR points. TBD. ❓5-6 PGAT players would go to LIV in 2025. Only 2 with partial status went but more are going in 2026 that should complete the count. Stay tuned. ✅ Rory moving to UK & leaving the @PGATOUR ❌ (so far) - but he played the bare minimum events in 2025 (15 events). Guess is less in 2026. Never once said he was going to LIV. There’s a bigger plan here.🔒TBD. ✅ PGAT/PIF meeting to try and consummate the deal a month before they met with Trump at the White House. Subsequently, the PGAT f’d that up. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ✅ PGAT had new leadership lined up in May 2025. Announced late June 2025. Running out of characters. Any others I’ve missed? Just off the top of my head. 😂 I’m generally a humble & modest person IRL (ask anyone that actually knows me) so I don’t talk sh*t that I can’t back up. Everything I say, opine, predict, etc has countless hours of analysis, conversations, discussions, etc. People can change their minds and info/data can change (as it has) but it doesn’t change the facts at the time. But if anyone on planet 🌎 has been saying all these things before they happen; pls, point them out to me because I’d like to congratulate them for knowing their sh*t. 😂

1️⃣Commercial free app. 2️⃣I know who’s playing every event. 3️⃣ I can watch every shot from all my fave players. Simple, easy to understand & irrefutable. You can ask any @livgolf_league fan & they can give you 3 faster than you can breathe. Passion & reasoning. PGAT fans struggle.

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
