Bryson DeChambeau offers no regrets for joining LIV and no clear plans for his next step

Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major champion, has expressed no regrets about joining LIV Golf to secure Saudi riches and has no clear plans for his next move. In a statement on social media, DeChambeau said he will approach the new league with "humility and respect for the game." He praised the opportunity to play in front of fans worldwide, noting that the best players rarely get to perform at home.

DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, another two-time major champion, are the two top players in LIV Golf, which is no longer backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. LIV's bankruptcy court in New Jersey has approved the end of Rahm's contract. However, Rahm recently won the Abu Dhabi Championship, which has moved him back into the top 10 in the world.

DeChambeau's situation might be more complicated due to his involvement in an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour. After the June 2023 framework agreement among the PGA Tour, European Tour, and Public Investment Fund, DeChambeau stated that he hoped the PGA Tour players would be valued equally as the LIV players.

In his post, DeChambeau acknowledged Arnold Palmer's famous quote, "It does stink from my perspective that the PGA Tour players are not necessarily winning. I hope they can find a way to make sure they are valued in the same way we are over at LIV." He added, "Whatever comes next, I'll approach it with humility and respect for the people who carried this game long before me."

DeChambeau is set to play the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa from Dec. 3-6, marking his third tournament outside of LIV and the majors since leaving the PGA Tour in June 2022.
