Despite Bryson DeChambeau’s definitive comments about being committed to making LIV Golf work, there is still a lot of speculation about him taking meetings, or wanting to leave the league before the end of the year. So I asked him directly about it: “It’s completely untrue. I’m working as hard as I can to find a solution. “I'm committed to making team golf work in the best way possible. I think there's a place for it in the ecosystem and I want to continue to grow the game across the world. That's always been our mission and it’s never been more true than now.” He went on to talk about a really cool initiative they are working on with junior golf: “We’re building a bunch of junior golf events right now and each team is looking to build junior golf academies. That’s something that we've been working on for almost three or four months now. “We're looking to host an event here coming up, probably in the next, I'd say, couple of months, because we want to do something special by the Team Championship. There's definitely some really cool things in the works.” Bryson now has the opportunity to do some really exciting things within the sport through his new holding company, ANU Golf. He’s already raised funding and acquired Sportsbox AI, and he clearly has big plans for the future. Rather than walking away from LIV Golf, I have a feeling he’s about to be more involved than he has ever been before.

Additional reporting after multiple conversations today with sources close to the situation: - This is not being characterized internally as a funding cutoff, but rather a transition. LIV Golf is funded through the end of the year and they were given two choices: You can shut it down now or you can ride it out through the end of the year and get outside funding. - The expectation is the league will complete the season. Any new capital is unlikely to come from Saudi Arabia’s investment arm, which has shifted priorities. - The current geopolitical environment is being used as a legal mechanism to unwind certain PIF-backed commitments — and this is not isolated to LIV Golf. - Under CEO Scott O’Neil, LIV Golf’s commercial business has shown significant signs of improvement, including the addition of new flagship sponsors. That creates a potential path to outside investment, though sources describe the process as complex. - There was a recent board-level meeting aimed at getting ahead of these developments before the news became public. Sources indicate some internal frustration with how the situation has been handled and the timing of the information becoming public. - Multiple sources also indicate that players and agents were not fully aware of the situation as it developed, setting off a scramble.

Let’s ACTUALLY be honest: this entire post is not only the worst of social media… it’s also easily refuted by facts. The @PGATOUR had an incredible 2025 with Scheffler dominating,Rory’s Grand Slam etc… and 2026 is off to a great start as well. This isn’t just a bad take… it’s also horrible information. Have a great day
