Por qué importa
LIV Golf was launched in 2022 with massive Saudi funding, creating a rival professional golf league that lured top players away from the PGA Tour with lucrative contracts. The league has faced ongoing questions about its financial sustainability and long-term future.
Bryson DeChambeau has addressed speculation that he could be leaving LIV Golf after this season by pledging, "As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense." DeChambeau told Flushing It Golf, in an interview published on Wednesday, that he is still working on "a potential contract" as he plays out the final season of his original LIV Golf deal. The circuit is facing questions about its future as rumours circulate that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund may be preparing to end its immense financial support of the league. However, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil said last week that the league would not fold. O'Neil later added that LIV Golf is financed through the 2026 season. DeChambeau had spent part of his time while competing at the Masters Tournament earlier this month discussing a possible return to the PGA Tour, according to a report by The Athletic. In his interview, DeChambeau said he is committed to LIV Golf as long as the league continues next year. "We're still working on a potential contract," he said. "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."
