Bryson DeChambeau has confirmed his next tournament appearance and released a statement acknowledging past mistakes following the closure of LIV Golf. The two-time US Open champion took to social media on Sunday to share his thoughts on his tenure with the breakaway circuit and outline his immediate plans.
Reflecting on the LIV Golf Era
DeChambeau stated that he does not intend to rewrite the past four years, noting that he made a choice he believed in and appreciated the opportunity to play in front of global fans. He highlighted record crowds in Adelaide and Johannesburg as memories that will stay with him forever. He expressed a continued belief that golf could reach new audiences in fresh ways and stated that he gave everything to keep team golf alive.
In his statement, DeChambeau thanked the staff, operations crews, caddies, and individuals behind the scenes at LIV and Crushers GC who risked their careers, alongside his teammates, sponsors, and supporters. He acknowledged that he said things along the way that were unhelpful, referencing Arnold Palmer’s sentiment that no player is bigger than the game.
Future Plans and Tournament Schedule
Looking ahead, DeChambeau intends to approach his future with humility and respect for those who built the sport. He confirmed that he will compete in December at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, hosted by Gary Player, returning to the fans in South Africa who made his previous visit memorable.
Under current rules, DeChambeau faces a 12-month ban from the PGA Tour, measured from his final LIV event appearance. Potential pathways for his future include playing more frequently on the DP World Tour or potentially returning through the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program, though his exact path beyond December remains uncertain.
