Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley believes Bryson DeChambeau needs to return to golf’s traditional tours to boost his hopes of winning majors again.

Paul McGinley argues that Bryson DeChambeau must return to traditional tours like the PGA Tour and DP World Tour to stay competitive in major championships. Following the demise and liquidation phase of LIV Golf, DeChambeau's future schedule remains uncertain, although he holds eligibility to apply for DP World Tour membership for the 2027 season ahead of a November 15 deadline.
McGinley warned on the Sky Sports Golf podcast that relying on YouTube golf or weakened circuits would effectively close the door on DeChambeau winning majors. He also highlighted the challenge facing DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings, who must balance accommodating returning LIV players against supporting loyal members and emerging qualifiers.
