‘We’ll Find A Way To Coexist And Work Together’: LIV Golf Defector Bryson DeChambeau Hints Towards Peace

The PGA Tour considers the LIV Golf its rival league. As a result, the organization has suspended the players participating in the league from its events. However, the LIV Golf rebel Bryson DeChambeau recently revealed how he hoped the two golf organizations would find peace and work together for the betterment of the sport.

“I think, in some capacity,” the 28-year-old stated. “We’ll find a way to coexist and work together through this to make the best entertainment we possibly can for the world.”   

DeChambeau dreams of co-existing with other golf organizations and working peacefully in the world of golf. He disclosed his idea during the press meet after his round at the Open Championship.

Does the LIV Golf rebel feel the pressure to earn the OWGR points from the major tournaments? 

Although LIV Golf has applied to get validation from the OWGR, they have yet to achieve it. And since the players have been suspended from the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour for signing up with the league, they won’t get the points from the Tour events.

The only way for the LIV golfers to earn world ranking points is through major events. Notably, the points are important for players if they want to play in the majors in their career. While this might put pressure on some golfers, it hasn’t affected DeChambeau yet.

“No,” the 2020 US Open champion explained whether he feels pressure to earn the OWGR points from the majors, since they are his only source. “I think over the course of time, it will all work itself out,” he added. 

Notably, since he won the 2020 U. S. Open, DeChambeau has been exempted to attend the majors for some years. Therefore, he wouldn’t need the OWGR points to attend the majors until the exemption expires.

The 2022 Open Championship is the first event Bryson DeChambeau has played since his first LIV Golf event in Portland. And the golfer scored 69-74-67 from the first three rounds this week, ranking T18 going into the final round.

The golfer is not concerned about the OWGR points now. However, DeChambeau hopes it works out soon, and the other tours accept them as they are. Do you think the OWGR will approve the LIV Golf anytime soon as the 28-year-old is expecting?
