DeChambeau proud of what LIV has achieved
Bryson DeChambeau says he is "proud" of what LIV Golf has achieved with the breakaway league facing questions about its future following the final event of the season in Indianapolis.
Bryson DeChambeau has expressed pride in the achievements of LIV Golf, despite the league facing uncertainties following its final event of the season in Indianapolis. LIV Golf, launched in 2022 as an alternative to the PGA Tour, initially faced a future in question after its financial backer, the PIF, withdrew support in April.
The season-ending team championships in Michigan were canceled, concluding the 2026 campaign at the Indianapolis event. LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has secured new investors for next season but has been tight-lipped about the league's future plans and structure. DeChambeau, who joined LIV Golf four years ago, acknowledged that the breakaway league has had its share of challenges but has great expectations for the future.
He noted that the transition from LIV 1.0 to LIV 2.0 has made the league stronger, despite the tough moments. DeChambeau admitted that not everything was perfect but expressed pride in having done something different in the game of golf. Rory McIlroy suggested that it could be a tough road back to the PGA Tour for those leaving LIV Golf.
Jon Rahm, LIV's individual champion for three consecutive years, remains unfazed by speculation about his future with the league, stating that the problems and theories surrounding the league disappear once he steps onto the golf course. The youngest winner of the Indianapolis event, American rookie Michael La Sasso, carded a final-round 65 to finish on 18-under-par, with Rahm finishing one shot behind and DeChambeau and Spain's Sergio Garcia tying for third.
