Bryson DeChambeau discusses his ongoing contract talks with LIV Golf and how Koepka’s exit impacts the league.
Brooks Koepka’s departure from the LIV Golf League came as a surprise to many — including Bryson DeChambeau. “I didn’t have that on my bingo card for December 23,” he told Flushing It Golf. Koepka’s exit marks a significant moment in the league’s young history. For DeChambeau, it’s both a disruption and an opportunity: “When one door closes, another opens. That’s how I see it.” As Koepka steps away, DeChambeau reflects on his own role and future with LIV.
Bryson DeChambeau: Contract Extension Possible, But Not Guaranteed
DeChambeau’s current contract runs through the end of 2026, but early extension talks are already underway. “Discussions are ongoing. It’s confidential, but we’re working on it,” said the two-time major champion. While he didn’t reveal specifics, he emphasized that both sides must benefit: “It has to make sense for both parties.” The league’s development, structure, and long-term vision appear to be key factors for him. “I want to do this. I want to grow team golf globally. But things need to improve,” he added.
Crushers GC: A Model of Stability in LIV Golf
While other teams face instability, DeChambeau’s Crushers GC are thriving. The team not only performed well in 2025 but also posted strong financials: $20 million in revenue, a positive balance sheet, and a strategic approach. “We’re not expanding too fast; we’re staying efficient,” he explained. With Paul Casey, Anirban Lahiri, and Charles Howell III remaining on board through 2026, DeChambeau sees this consistency as proof that his team is on the right path — a success that strengthens his negotiating position with LIV Golf.
PGA Tour Return? Only With Clear Rules
Regarding Koepka’s potential return to the PGA Tour, DeChambeau remains cautious. “If we’re playing by the rules, there can’t be exceptions. If there are, it opens the door for others,” he said. While LIV Golf remains his current focus, DeChambeau is also open to other ventures: “I could do YouTube golf — that would be enough for me.”
