Scottie Scheffler Keeps LIV Golf Talk Brief With Honest Post-Round Comment

LIV Golf has installed a new board to find replacement investors, and CEO Scott O’Neil has said the current season will continue as planned.

With Yasir Al-Rumayyan expected to step down as chairman, the New Orleans stop was postponed, and player movement has become part of the conversation as more names continue to be linked with possible returns to the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.

This has also brought two-time major winner Bryson DeChambeau into the discussion.

As LIV looks for funding beyond this season, DeChambeau has emerged as someone who could have a role in LIV Golf’s future.

The 32-year-old’s name has surfaced in discussions around a possible investor-led restructuring. DeChambeau might become part of the group that helps finance LIV’s next phase after Saudi PIF backing ends in August.

Bryson DeChambeau and LIV Golf’s Ownership Question

The idea of a possible takeover by the American golfer drew more attention after his former coach, Mike Schy, suggested DeChambeau could move beyond the role of player and into the business side of the league. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Schy said DeChambeau has the interest and financial backing to pursue something larger if the opportunity presents itself.

“I’d bet that Bryson might lead a bid to take [LIV] over and turn it into his own golf business. He loves a challenge, and I know he’s been building up a huge investment fund,” Schy said.

Schy added that DeChambeau has positioned himself to move when the timing is right and could choose to build something under his own control if LIV’s current model changes.
