American professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau has released a statement following the collapse of LIV Golf, defending his decision to join the controversial golf league in 2022 while reflecting on what lies ahead in his career.
In his statement shared on social media on 8 November 2026, DeChambeau said he had no regrets about his decision, explaining that he believed LIV Golf could introduce the sport to new audiences around the world. He also thanked the league’s staff, teammates, sponsors and supporters, particularly fans in Adelaide and Johannesburg.
However, the golfer acknowledged that some of his previous comments had not helped the sport and promised to approach his next chapter with humility and respect.
With LIV Golf preparing to wind down operations, uncertainty remains over whether DeChambeau will return to the PGA Tour or compete on the DP World Tour.
The two-time US Open champion has confirmed that he will participate in the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa in December 2026, hosted by golfing legend Gary Player.
His statement comes at a significant moment for professional golf, as players and fans consider the future of the sport following LIV Golf’s collapse.
