LIV Golf: Bryson DeChambeau believes PGA Tour return could revolve around whether players want him back

Bryson DeChambeau believes his potential return to the PGA Tour could hinge on whether the American circuit's players are interested in welcoming him back.

After Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced it was cutting its funding for LIV Golf at the end of the 2026 season, multiple players in the rebel league is assessing its options. Sky Sports understands some have sounded out the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour about being reinstated.

DeChambeau, who is one of the rebel league's biggest stars, has been locked in contract negotiations with LIV Golf officials for some time, with his current deal set to expire at the end of this year.

His future remains uncertain, with DeChambeau explaining earlier this week during the pro-am at LIV Golf Virginia that it would be "unfortunate" if the PGA Tour issued him with fines or punishments as part of a deal for him to rejoin the American circuit.

It is no secret that PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp is keen to lure the likes of DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith back to the American circuit, having already tried to do so this year through the Returning Members Programme, which Brooks Koepka signed up to in January.

On Wednesday, DeChambeau spoke again about what a potential return to the PGA Tour could look like. The American explained there could be a few sticking points that could make his route back to the tour difficult.
