In the past week, there have been a lot of questions about what will happen to LIV Golf.\u00a0 With the PIF pulling out of the league,<\/a> it only has funding for the rest of the season.\u00a0 Beyond that, the future of the disruptive league is completely in the air unless it finds some new sponsors.\u00a0 One of the biggest questions is what the players will do now.\u00a0 Bryson DeChambeau has said he is sticking with the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s Contract<\/span><\/h2>\n

DeChambeau was one of the early members of the league and was given a multi-year contract.\u00a0 With his contract expiring at the end of this season, there has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not he will stay.\u00a0 DeChambeau has stated numerous times that he wants to renew the contract, but he\u2019s just deep in negotiations.\u00a0 LIV Golf also wants to keep him in the league, as he is a very valuable player.<\/span><\/p>\n

How DeChambeau Sees LIV Golf<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to LIV Golf, DeChambeau sees a lot of value in the league.\u00a0 According to interviews, it\u2019s why he sticks around.\u00a0 After the Mexico City event<\/a>, DeChambeau was speaking on Flushing It,<\/a> and he\u2019s approaching the league the way someone would approach a startup.\u00a0 In that, sometimes things get hard on everyone involved.\u00a0 DeChambeau would say the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a lot of moving parts, like in any business. It\u2019s a startup, right?\u201d\u00a0 DeChambeau continued.\u00a0 \u201cAnd so there’s going to be times where we’re squeezed and punched. This is one of those moments. But I’m going to do everything in my power to make it work, and I really see the value in franchise golf.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DeChambeau took a moment to appreciate his team as another reason why he is staying with LIV.\u00a0 He really likes the team aspect of the league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DeChambeau continued with his statement.\u00a0 \u201cJon, Phil, DJ, myself and the guys that have been here from the start, we\u2019re okay. It\u2019s now our responsibility to take care of these kids that believe in us. That\u2019s why I’m really doing it. There’s so much value to squeeze out of this whole thing for golf in general.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same interview, DeChambeau brings up the contract renegotiations, confirming that he is still in talks with the heads at LIV.\u00a0 The negotiations are a big piece of the aforementioned rumors about his split with LIV.\u00a0 He also said that his main focus right now is ensuring that LIV.\u00a0 He wants to make it work, and he\u2019s already four years into this.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Happens After LIV?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite what DeChambeau says, he is still subject to exit rumors.\u00a0 Even more so now, with the funding issue, leaving everyone wondering what will happen with players like him if it doesn\u2019t work out.\u00a0 DeChambeau has multiple pathways set for his next step in his career.\u00a0 He could be caught up in the PGA\u2019s returning membership program<\/a>, go to another tour, or double down on his YouTube career and play as an alternate at professional events.\u00a0 If anything happens, DeChambeau will be fine.<\/span><\/p>\n
