YouTube: Bryson DeChambeau
Golf star Bryson DeChambeau is planning on ‘growing his YouTube channel’ instead of returning to the PGA Tour, that’s if LIV Golf actually folds.
The future of LIV Golf has been up in the air for a few weeks. There were plenty of reports that the Saudi-backed tour wouldn’t complete its 2026 season, nor its event in Mexico City, but that wasn’t the case.
Instead, LIV confirmed that it will complete the upcoming season, but it will no longer fund the tour with massive purses. That has left a number of golfing stars in the lurch about what they’ll do in the future. Some, like Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm, have already made arrangements with other tours, giving them a place to play should LIV come to an end.
In the case of Bryson DeChambeau, rather than mending fences with the PGA Tour, he is, instead, looking at growing his YouTube channel.

As per ESPN, the two-time US Open winner has had some conversations with the PGA Tour about a return, but he has big plans for his channel instead.
“I think, from my perspective, I’d love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more,” he said on May 5. “I would love to. I’d love to do a bunch of dubbing in different languages, giving the world more reason to watch YouTube. And then I’d love to play tournaments that want me.”
The 32-year-old also referenced his YouTube channel when noting that the PGA and LIV should work together. “Everybody needs to come in with a level-headed playing field, with an opportunistic mindset to grow the game of golf. That’s why I came over here. That’s why I do what I do on YouTube,” he added.

As he notes, he could receive sponsor invites to tournaments across the board, and he remains eligible for the PGA Championship, UK Open, and The Masters until 2028. He can play in the US Open until 2033 due to his previous wins.

DeChambeau had been a part of a federal lawsuit against the PGA Tour, alleging that they’d unfairly suspended players who joined the breakaway LIV tour. He, however, dropped out of that suit in 2023.
He has over 2.69 million subscribers on YouTube, releasing a video a month. The 32-year-old also rocked up to The Masters with some 3D-printed clubs.
