Golfer Bryson DeChambeau has defended his decision to join LIV Golf as the league winds down operations and enters liquidation.

Bryson DeChambeau has defended his decision to join LIV Golf as the league winds down operations and enters liquidation. In a statement posted on social media on Sunday, the golfer said he "gave it everything" to keep team golf alive and expressed gratitude for playing in front of fans around the world who rarely saw top players compete at home.

DeChambeau said he made a decision he believed in and has no regrets about his four years with the league. He thanked the staff, operations crews, caddies and others behind the scenes at both LIV Golf and his Crushers GC team who "bet their careers on this." He reiterated his belief that golf could reach more people in more places in a new way.

LIV Golf confirmed plans to enter liquidation following a bankruptcy hearing in New Jersey last week, abandoning hopes of launching a new version due to lack of financial backing. DeChambeau remained a supporter of the league in its final weeks, reportedly working behind the scenes on a potential LIV Golf 2.0, though he never signed a binding agreement for the revamped version. He now has until November 15 to declare his intention to become a DP World Tour member in 2027 to avoid being frozen out of professional golf.
