The LIV Golf Invitational Series will begin in just one day on June 9th at the beautiful yet demanding Centurion Golf Club outside London. The field for the opening event of the new tour includes some of the famous names in golf, but Bryson DeChambeau is not part of the Saudi-backed golf league. However, a recent report indicates otherwise.

A report suggests Bryson Dechambeau will play on the LIV Golf Tour
‘No Laying Up’ made a tweet through their official Twitter account on June 8th, 2022, along the same lines. The tweet mentioned that the golf world could expect an announcement later this week regarding the one-time major championship winner teeing it up at the LIV Golf Invitational Series event in Portland.
Moreover, the tweet is talking about the second event on the rival that will take place at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland and is a part of the new tour’s North American swing. The second event of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league will begin on June 30th and will conclude on July 2nd.
The tweet said, “Expecting an announcement later this week that Bryson will be playing the Portland LIV event.” Not to forget, the American professional spoke about the prospects of playing on the rival golf tour last week, while he played at the Memorial Tournament at the demanding Muirfield Village Golf Club. Dechambeau said, “I’m loyal to my family that I’ve created around me with sponsors and everything. And as of right now, the golf world is probably going to change in some capacity. I don’t know what that is. Not my job to do so.”

He added, “I’m just going to keep playing professional golf and enjoy it wherever it takes me, play with the best players in the world.” But recently we have seen players like Dustin Johnson who earlier pledged to stay on the PGA Tour, becoming a part of the new Tour. However, only time will tell if the report will hold and if the Tour professional will compete in the Saudi-backed golf league. Do you think Bryson DeChambeau will play in the second LIV Golf event?
