Bryson DeChambeau: ‘We didn’t sign up to play for 72 (holes)’

Bryson DeChambeau is entering the final year of his contract with LIV Golf.

Judging by his latest comments to Today’s Golfer, it doesn’t sound like the two-time U.S. Open champion is too keen on one of the recent changes made by the Saudi-funded tour.

Case in point, the impending shift from a 54- to a 72-hole format.

“It’s definitely changed away from what we had initially been told it was going to be,” DeChambeau said. “So there is some movement that we’ve all been, I would say, interested in, and going, ‘Why that movement?’ Because we were told it was going to be this. So that’s definitely made us have some different thoughts about it.

“I’ve got a contract for this year, and we’ll go through it there and see what happens after that. Look, it’s 72 holes, it’s changed, but we’re still excited to play professionally and play for what we’re doing and go across the world. I think it’s going to be great for our (Crushers GC) team. Is it what we ultimately signed up for? No. So I think we’re supposed to be different, so I’m a little indifferent to it right now.

“Hopefully it weighs positively on me over the course of time, but you never know. I’m not sure. We didn’t sign up to play for 72.”

DeChambeau, 32, joined LIV Golf in 2022 after recording nine wins on the PGA Tour, including the U.S. Open in 2020 and 2024.
