Bryson DeChambeau Shifts Focus To Course Design As Tour Decision Looms

Bryson DeChambeau is redirecting his focus to course design as the DP World Tour prepares to reveal its 2027 membership roster. The two-time major winner announced a new 18-hole course, "The Orchard," in his hometown of Clovis, California, on Friday. This development, which includes a farmers market and practice facilities, aims to give back to the community that supported his early career.

DeChambeau, who attended Clovis East High School, is working with the City of Clovis and Fresno County to navigate the complex state regulations for the project. Approval is expected within 18 months, with a driving range opening sooner. While DeChambeau devotes his time to this off-course project, the golf world anticipates his next playing destination for the 2027 season.

The DP World Tour has not yet disclosed the membership list, but former LIV Golf stars Joaquin Niemann and Lucas Herbert have already committed to playing in the tour's events. DeChambeau plans to compete in the DP World Tour's Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa in December, but has not fully outlined his schedule beyond that event.
