LIV Golf have confirmed Bryson DeChambeau has become the latest big-name star to defect from the PGA Tour to the rebel Saudi-led upstart. The breakaway circuit's inaugural event kicked off on Thursday at the Centurion Club in St. Albans.
The likes of Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia have all committed to the controversial cause, and have now been joined by one the sport's biggest names in 2020 US Open champion DeChambeau. Like fellow American star Johnson, DeChambeau previously ruled himself out of the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
Four months on though the 28-year-old has clearly had a change in heart, after revealing in February that "as long as the best players in the world are playing the PGA Tour, so will I."
