Golf World Reacts to Bryson DeChambeau’s Controversial ‘Business Decision’

The three-day inaugural event of the LIV Golf Invitational has ended in London. Yet, the league still holds the headlines in the golf world after announcing other players who jumped from the PGA Tour despite their suspension threat. And the ‘Mad Scientist’ Bryson DeChambeau is one of them! 

“It was a business decision first and foremost,” DeChambeau explained why he joined LIV Golf. “It’s given me a lot of opportunities outside the game of golf,” he further added. “And given me more time with my family, my future family.” 

Additionally, the golfer admitted that finance and time are the two main reasons he chose to sign with LIV Golf. According to reports, he was offered more than $100 million to play in the new league. 

Will Bryson DeChambeau play again on the PGA Tour? 

“I would love to,” DeChambeau said in the interview. “I wanna play where people can see entertainment, great entertainment,” he added. 

The 2020 U. S. Open Champion explained that he wants to continue playing on the Tour if the rules allow him. Notably, the commissioner of the Tour had recently announced the suspension of the players paying in the LIV events. According to his statement, those players who will join the league ever will have the same consequences.

Notably, Bryson DeChambeau admitted that money was one of the reasons he chose to sign with LIV Golf. Although nobody knows how he got as part of the contract, reports claim he was offered from $135 million to $240 million.
