What happened

The days of LIV Golf may be numbered — but Bryson DeChambeau is going down swinging.

Why it matters

News broke in late April that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would be pulling its funding for the rebel league at the end of this season, while Bloomberg later reported that the tour has begun potential bankruptcy plans.

Common ground

However, DeChambeau is still contracted to LIV for the time being and is “giving as much as I can” despite the uncertainty around the league.
