Bryson DeChambeau has responded to a rumour that he’s set for an adventure away from LIV Golf.
DeChambeau was billed as the next up-and-coming star when he broke onto the PGA Tour, with the American winning several low-key events.
But the Californian was stripped of his Tour card when he defected to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league in June 2022, just months after committing his future to the PGA Tour.
He’s still enjoyed plenty of success, winning two LIV titles and snatching victory from Rory McIlroy’s hands at the US Open earlier this year.
However, it was reported that DeChambeau was prepping for a move away from the LIV tour in 2025, as he heads an International Series event in India.
DeChambeau has since spoken out about the speculation, telling The Hindustan Times: “I am aware that Baan [Anirban Lahiri, who is part of his Crushers team] is going to be involved, and we have had a few talks about it.
“It will be a very important week for him. I will support him fully, and if everything works out, I am extremely excited about the opportunity to play in India.”
The outlet also claim the entire Crushers GC team will be involved at the event.
Commenting on the prospect of DeChambeau playing in India, team-mate Lahiri added: “I think we are almost there. There are just a few minor things on which we have to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.
“But yes, I think it will be massive for Indian golf fans if Bryson is there. Single-handedly, with what he does on the golf course and outside it through his social media channels and his interaction with fans, he has brought millions of new fans to our sport.
“I think we can all agree he is the most popular golfer in the world right now.”
DeChambeau boasts a profile very few active golfers can lay claim to, with the 31-year-old revered across all four corners of the globe.
As well as his elite skills on the course, DeChambeau has made a name for himself on YouTube, with the former Tour star’s channel bragging over 1.5million subscribers.
Ironically, DeChambeau’s channel, which features entertaining videos with some of golf’s biggest names, has more subscribers than the official PGA Tour YouTube channel itself.
Perhaps a sign of the ever-changing landscape in the world of professional golf.
