While many golfers are weighing the options between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, Bryson DeChambeau believes he could find success eschewing both in favor of YouTube.
“That’s an incredibly viable option, I’ll tell you that,” DeChambeau told Front Office Sports at LIV’s Teams Week preseason event Wednesday.
DeChambeau said he believes ramping up the golf content he already makes regularly for his 2.6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel could keep him in good enough shape to be competitive in the four major championships.
“Doing the course record series, and playing Break 50s, it does keep me quite dialed in for tournament golf,” he said. “That is why I do it right before competition. So, it’s a possibility. The financial opportunities are there, and I’m excited to see what comes in the future.”
However, DeChambeau said on Tuesday that he intends to honor the final year of his LIV contract and will not pursue a return to the PGA Tour as part of the Tour’s new Returning Member Program, which he qualifies for as the winner of the 2024 U.S. Open.
DeChambeau told Front Office Sports that one of his goals this year is to “hopefully complete the career Grand Slam.”
The 32-year-old also won the U.S. Open in 2020. He has not won the Masters, PGA Championship or Open Championship but is exempt into all of those through at least 2028.
