사우디아라비아 국부펀드가 2026 시즌을 끝으로 LIV 골프에 대한 지원을 철회함에 따라 브라이슨 디샘보의 프로 골퍼로서의 미래가 불투명해졌다. 골프 채널의 분석가 게리 윌리엄스는 디샘보가 자신의 유튜브 채널 운영에 전념할 것이라는 전망에 회의적인 반응을 보였다. 윌리엄스는 최근 공개된 '서파(Subpar)' 팟캐스트 에피소드에서 이같이 밝혔다.
디샘보와 LIV의 계약은 2026년 이후 종료된다. 그는 ESPN 및 스포츠 일러스트레이티드 등 여러 매체와의 인터뷰를 통해, 만약 리그가 중단될 경우 유튜브 활동을 확장하고 본인을 원하는 대회에만 출전할 준비가 되어 있다고 밝힌 바 있다. 그의 팀은 PGA 투어 측과 논의를 진행했으나 구체적인 내용은 알려지지 않았다. 디샘보는 PGA 투어 복귀는 전적으로 투어 회원들의 승인 여부에 달려 있다고 언급했다.
