DeChambeau hopeful LIV ‘can exist forever’

Bryson DeChambeau expressed optimism about the future of LIV Golf and its planned LIV 2.0 relaunch, stating he hopes the league can exist forever. Speaking on the Figuring Out with Raj Shamani podcast, DeChambeau explained that the proposed new circuit is not designed to compete directly against the PGA Tour. He also reflected on his defeat against Rory McIlroy at the 2025 Masters, noting that being humbled on the course helped him grow as a person.

The breakaway league is preparing for a 2027 relaunch after securing $300m in funding from BC Partners and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following the departure of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. DeChambeau criticized past management of the parent company while highlighting that his team generated nearly $29m in revenue with an $8m EBITDA profit last year. Players including Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Sergio Garcia have indicated they will not participate in the new iteration.
