Bryson DeChambeau, the two‑time US Open champion, said he will shift focus to expanding his YouTube channel if Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulls its backing from LIV Golf. He also pledged to play only tournaments that invite him before the season ends and his contract expires at the end.

DeChambeau’s contract runs out after this season, and he had eyed a new deal worth $500m to stay. The revelation that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will withdraw support stunned him; he had counted on the fund financing LIV until 2032. He described the move as a complete shock for the tour players.

He declined an earlier offer to return to the PGA Tour under its returning‑member programme. DeChambeau insists the sport needs a level‑headed, opportunistic mindset to grow. He credits his YouTube presence as a platform to influence golf’s future, saying ego must be dropped for progress by players and fans today.

With LIV Golf scrambling for new investors, the outcome could reshape the tour’s financial structure. Fans will watch DeChambeau’s next tournament choice closely, as it may signal whether the Saudi‑backed league can sustain itself without the PIF’s capital. The season ends with uncertainty over his future commitments for the year.
