Bryson DeChambeau Just Broke His Silence on LIV
“I’m not going to rewrite the last four years.” On Sunday, Nov 8, Bryson DeChambeau posted his first statement since LIV Golf told a U.S. bankruptcy court in New Jersey (Thursday, Nov 5) that it will wind down and that LIV 2.0 will not go ahead. We go through it line by line: the record crowds in Adelaide and Johannesburg, “I gave it everything I had to keep team golf alive”, the thank-you to the people at LIV and Crushers GC, the Arnold Palmer line and his admission that “I’ve said some things that didn’t help”, and his one concrete plan: the Nedbank Golf Challenge in December. Plus what happened to LIV that week (BC Partners pulled out of the $300 million rescue, the move to liquidation, the $5.77 million LIV owes him), his four years in numbers, and his three doors now: the DP World Tour (apply by about Nov 15), the PGA Tour (no earlier than Aug 24 2027, per ESPN), or his own way through the majors and his YouTube channel.

The Open penalty was absolute fucking criminal
So he won’t miss the 5 mil then
I'd love to see him break out on his own, like the old Hollywood stars who broke from the so-called "studio system".
Impressive what bryson said, unlike many others that left without a goodbye or a thankyou… makes mcilroy look like a puppet
Why should he apologize for joining LIV? Trump's illegal war on Iran shut down LIV period
Screw Bryson. Let him get the money from his ahole buddy Trump to by LIV.
