Bryson DeChambeau will commit his future to growing his YouTube channel if LIV Golf folds at the end of the season.
Asked about his own reaction to the news that the PIF would cut all funding to the tour at the end of 2026, the big-hitting American gave an honest reply.
“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.”
DeChambeau turned down the route to follow Brooks Koepka back to the PGA TOUR. And it appears that route will also not be viable in future.
“I think, from my perspective, I’d love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more,” two-time major winner DeChambeau said to ESPN.
“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.”
DeChambeau’s LIV contract is up at the end of this season, with reports suggesting that he had been negotiating a new deal before the news of PIF’s withdrawal.
His YouTube channel has 2.69m subscribers, and has featured guests including President Donald Trump and a host of sporting stars.
