Bryson DeChambeau is an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour. Also known as the Mad Scientist, he is famed for his big-hitting off the tee. Currently, Bryson is a part of the field this week at the Saudi International. However, reacting to the surrounding controversies with the same, he has expressed his denial against all the speculations about SGL.

Bryson DeChambeau says it is wrong

Probably one of the most awaited events of the 2022 season is here. Saudi International began on February 3rd, with some of the biggest names in the sport of golf teeing it up. The event is taking place at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club. 20 of the world’s top 50 in the World Golf Rankings are teeing it up at the event.

However, now it is sanctioned by the Asian Tour. Some big names in the field include Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson.

Bryson has been in the news for his actions both on and off the course, throughout his entire career. In a recent report, it is alleged that the American professional has been offered a lucrative deal to become a part of the SGL. Rumor has it, the Saudi-backed Saudi Golf League is offering the 2020 US Open champion a sum of $135 million to become the face of the league.

However, the 28-year-old has rubbished claims of any such offer, commenting on an Instagram post that stated the same. A comment that garnered over 5,000 likes and 125 replies, Bryson wrote, “Wrong.”

Notably, he is not the only player to receive offers from SGL. Ian Poulter is another tour veteran who allegedly has received an offer of approximately $30 million.

Disappointing round one for Bryson

On the business end, the 28-year-old made a rather disappointing start at the 2022 Saudi International. He carded a first-round 73, three over par. He had a good start to his round with a birdie on the first hole of the front nine. But two bogeys and a triple-bogey on the front nine broke his momentum. Although, he made two birdies on the back nine and a bogey.
