LIV Golf’s days are seemingly numbered, so star golfers like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cameron Smith face uncertain futures. It seems now like a matter of when, not if, LIV ends, and what is there after for its members is currently unclear.

Reportedly, some golfers have had their reps reach out to inquire about returns to the PGA Tour. The Tour is also mulling over pathways for eventual free agents to return home. But on the micro level, some of these golfers don’t have a clear path forward. Rahm and DeChambeau recently touched on this.

Bryson DeChambeau may pivot entirely

Bryson DeChambeau has become a star on LIV Golf. His decision to leave the Tour actually worked out pretty well for him in a rare instance. He has seemingly gotten better, and he has successfully reinvented himself and reshaped the public perception of himself for the better.

Part of that is his YouTube channel, which would become his main focus if LIV is unable to continue without the PIF funding after this season.  “I think, from my perspective, I’d love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more,” DeChambeau said.

He continued, hinting at what the professional world might have for him, “I would love to. I’d love to do a bunch of dubbing in different languages, giving the world more reason to watch YouTube. And then I’d love to play tournaments that want me.”

DeChambeau indicated that there would probably be harsh penalties if he went back to the Tour, and he talked at length about the ways LIV could continue with alternate funding. It seems like he doesn’t expect to ever play on the PGA Tour again.

Jon Rahm hints at being stuck

Jon Rahm was one of the later high-profile signings for LIV Golf. He joined in 2024, two years after many of his predecessors did. That means his contract doesn’t end as soon as DeChambeau or others who left sooner. It could mean he can’t return to the PGA Tour when LIV loses funding.

“Right now, I have several years in my contract left,” Rahm admitted. “I’m pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that, so I don’t see many ways out. Right now, I’m not really thinking about it because we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. It’s not something I want to think about just yet.”

Both Rahm and DeChambeau admitted they were surprised by the turn of events. “For me, the reality kind of came afterwards,” he added. “I would say, like everybody, surprised. Obviously, unexpected. We did hear the news that there would be funding for many years. But then as the future of the league goes, I think that’s obviously a question for the businesspeople.”

They both revealed that they’d been told the tour had funding through 2032, so there wasn’t any concern for the future. Now, CEO Scott O’Neil plans to get everything secured, including free agent golfers, before taking the tour to market. It’s unclear if that will be successful since LIV has been losing money this entire time.
