Bryson DeChambeau Eyes YouTube Growth if LIV Golf Ends

Bryson DeChambeau has outlined plans to significantly expand his YouTube channel if LIV Golf ceases operations after the 2026 season. With his contract running through the end of 2026, the golfer discussed contingency options amid uncertainty over future Saudi PIF funding for the league.

DeChambeau said he would like to grow his YouTube channel, which has 2.7 million subscribers, by three times or more. He also mentioned interest in dubbing content in different languages and playing in tournaments that want him to participate. The comments came as LIV Golf faces uncertainty over future funding from the Saudi PIF after this season's events.

DeChambeau has previously discussed similar plans, including during his fourth LIV season that began in Saudi Arabia in February 2026. At that time he reaffirmed his commitment to completing the final year of his original contract rather than pursuing an early PGA Tour return. He has long highlighted the channel’s scale—already larger than the combined PGA Tour and LIV Golf audiences—and its potential to support far more content creation if he were no longer playing a full tournament schedule.
