Bryson DeChambeau told Sky Sports his contract talks with LIV Golf remain active, and he believes an agreement can be reached despite swirling rumours about the league’s financing. The two‑time major winner signed a lucrative deal in June 2022 that runs through the end of the 2026 season. As the 32‑year‑old prepares for the Mexico City event, he stressed his commitment to the league’s future.

Reports have linked DeChambeau to a fresh contract worth roughly $500m, reflecting his marketability and distance‑driving reputation. Rumours that the Public Investment Fund may cut funding have intensified, yet the player reiterated his role in helping the league survive past this year. He cited responsibility to teammates and younger players as motivation to keep the franchise afloat.

With LIV aiming to generate $13bn in franchise value by 2026, DeChambeau’s willingness to negotiate signals that its star roster remains intact for now. The league’s executives continue to stress team‑level sponsorships and profitability, while the golfer’s public pledge adds pressure on financiers to honour existing commitments. His next contract will shape the competitive balance between LIV and the PGA Tour.
