Bryson DeChambeau hopes LIV Golf gets 'one more chance' as league has 'a lot' against them in bid to secure future

Bryson DeChambeau admits LIV Golf has 'a lot' against them to secure their long-term future but hopes the circuit will get 'one more shot' to survive beyond this season.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced in April they would end their financial backing to LIV Golf beyond the 2026 season, which is finishing a week early due to the cancellation of their Team Championship.

LIV Golf announced they have found an unnamed investor to help move into 'the next chapter' but uncertainty continues around the league, with speculation over players potentially leaving and how the schedule may look going forward.

DeChambeau has remained heavily involved in conversations about the league's next steps, despite his LIV Golf contract expiring after this season, with the two-time US Open champion still optimistic about a positive resolution.

"Look, it's tough - it's not easy," DeChambeau said after his opening round 65 in Indianapolis, leaving him three strokes behind early pacesetter Laurie Canter. "We [LIV Golf] definitely have a lot against us.

"I think, behind the scenes, we've got a lot of people that are working hard to make this possible for not only all the players that are out here, but all the fans that have come out to these events.

"The economic impact that we've made in all of these places, whether it's South Africa, here in Indianapolis or Australia and numerous places across the world, the UK and all the different places we've been in the US.

"I think we just have a bit of a responsibility to continue to show this. If it works, it works and that's awesome. If it doesn't, we'll figure things out and time will move on.

"I would say that time heals things. I hope people can see that we actually bring value to the game of golf. My wish is that people give us one more shot and be open minded."
