Bryson DeChambeau, one of LIV Golf's remaining superstars, has openly expressed dissatisfaction with the league's impending shift to a 72-hole format. In a revealing interview, the two-time U.S. Open champion stated, "It's definitely changed away from what we had initially been told." He admitted the change has prompted "different thoughts" and clarified, "Is it what we ultimately signed up for? No."
DeChambeau is entering the final year of his contract with the Saudi-funded tour. While non-committal about his future, he repeatedly uses the refrain, "I'm under contract this year. After that, come what may." His comments mark a more straightforward critique than heard previously from the Crushers GC captain.
The golfer hinted at alternative career paths, noting his wildly popular YouTube channel with 2.6 million followers is "an incredibly viable option." He seems unconvinced that playing 25% more golf per tournament, with LIV's travel demands, aligns with his interests at his original 54-hole salary.
Interestingly, fellow star Jon Rahm is a proponent of the format change as he seeks OWGR points for the league. This sets up a potential behind-the-scenes influence tug-of-war. As DeChambeau's contract negotiations progress, his indifferent stance poses a significant question for LIV Golf's future.
