Bryson DeChambeau is being accused of damaging LIV Golf’s chances of attracting new investors

Due to the fact that the future of LIV Golf is so up in the air right now, DeChambeau has been linked with a move back to the PGA Tour.

He has been very outspoken about the options he has on the table, including content creation on his YouTube channel.

DeChambeau was actually instructed to avoid speaking to the media at Aronimink during the PGA Championship last week.

Bryson DeChambeau is damaging LIV Golf’s hopes of finding new investors

Scott O’Neil is currently on the hunt for new investors.

And DeChambeau has been accused of not helping the LIV Golf CEO’s cause.

Trey Wingo suggested that DeChambeau may have already retired in his own mind, when speaking on his Straight Facts Homie Podcast.

“What are you selling to the investors if Bryson is saying, I don’t know, maybe I’ll just do YouTube stuff. And what are you selling the players to come to LIV if you get the investment if you don’t have the money? It was always about the money,“ Wingo insisted.

“When anyone says it’s not about the money, almost 95% of the time, it’s about the money.

“So this is the problem for LIV.

“Their calling card, their ace in the hole, is basically talking about retiring.

“And again, outside of Aaron Rodgers, if you’re talking about retirement, you’re already retired, you just don’t know it yet.

“So, how do you sell whatever you’re trying to sell to those investors to get $250 million in working capital for 2027 if your number one lead show pony is saying I may be retiring?“

What Bryson DeChambeau actually said about his LIV Golf future

Earlier this month, DeChambeau revealed just how shocked he was that LIV Golf were set to lose their funding from PIF.

“I was completely shocked,“ DeChambeau said.

“I didn’t expect it to happen. A couple months before that, it’s like, ‘We’re here until 2032. We’ve got financing until 2032,’ and so I told everybody, and that’s what I was told.“

“And then, you know, I haven’t had any communication. And unfortunately, things are moving on in a different direction. Obviously, they wanted to move on.“

He then opened up on his YouTube ambitions.

“I think, from my perspective, I’d love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more,“ DeChambeau said.

“I would love to. I’d love to do a bunch of dubbing in different languages, giving the world more reason to watch YouTube. And then I’d love to play tournaments that want me.“

He then responded when asked about a potential return to the PGA Tour.

“The egos need to get dropped,“ DeChambeau said.

“Everybody needs to come in with a level-headed playing field, with an opportunistic mindset to grow the game of golf. That’s why I came over here. That’s why I do what I do on YouTube.“

DeChambeau responded to claims that his punishment could be harsher than the one Brooks Koepka received by saying, “that’s quite unfortunate in my opinion, considering what I could do for them.“
