Bryson DeChambeau

A US bankruptcy judge approved LIV Golf's request to reject the existing contracts of 19 golfers, including DeChambeau, in a filing dated 14 October 2026. The release frees him to explore other options, although it does not by itself confirm he will leave the league. DeChambeau has not publicly stated his plans for the 2027 LIV 2.0 season.

Bryson DeChambeau announced plans to return to a DP World Tour event in South Africa later in the year, his first appearance on that tour since 2022. The move came amid continued uncertainty over LIV Golf's future and his contract situation.

Bryson DeChambeau's Open Championship week included a rules controversy after an appeal over his second-round scorecard situation was rejected by the R&A. Separate reporting said he was also penalized two strokes for improving his lie on the fifth hole, which affected his standing in the tournament.

Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut at the 2026 PGA Championship after finishing 36 holes at 7 over par, three shots outside the cut line. The result ended his run in the tournament before the weekend rounds.

Bryson DeChambeau confirmed he would honor his LIV Golf commitment for the 2026 season and continue as captain of Crushers GC. Reports at the time said he was set to play the season opener in Riyadh as his contract year began.
