Bryson DeChambeau wird voraussichtlich nicht auf YouTube als Plan B setzen

Die Zukunft von Bryson DeChambeau im Profi-Golf bleibt ungewiss, nachdem der saudi-arabische Public Investment Fund seine Unterstützung für LIV Golf nach der Saison 2026 eingestellt hat. Der Golf-Channel-Analyst Gary Williams bezweifelt, dass DeChambeau seinen Fokus auf seinen YouTube-Kanal verlagern wird. Williams äußerte seine Ansichten in der neuesten Folge des Subpar-Podcasts.

DeChambeau's Vertrag bei LIV endet nach 2026. Er hat gegenüber Medien wie ESPN und Sports Illustrated erklärt, dass er bereit sei, seine YouTube-Präsenz auszubauen und nur an Veranstaltungen teilzunehmen, bei denen er erwünscht ist, falls die Liga endet. Sein Team hat Gespräche mit der PGA Tour geführt, wobei keine Einzelheiten bekannt gegeben wurden. DeChambeau merkte an, dass eine Rückkehr von der Zustimmung der PGA-Tour-Mitglieder abhängen würde.
