Despite committing to the PGA Tour in February and claiming as recently as the Memorial in May that “I personally don’t think that at this point in time I’m in a place in my career where I can risk things like that,” Bryson DeChambeau jumped to LIV Golf and competed last week in the Portland Series Invitational.
The upstart league finally made an offer that DeChambeau couldn’t refuse.
Just how much he got from the Saudi-backed league’s recent spending spree, he’s still not saying, but he shed some light on the dollars involved that made him flip-flop after saying he wanted to continue to play against “the best in the world” of which the top 16 in the Official World Golf Ranking still remain on the PGA Tour.
