​Jerod Ringwald-Imagn ImagesAs LIV Golf tries a major reboot, Bryson DeChambeau has signaled most strongly that he intends to return to the circuit. The two-time U.S. Open champion appeared on the “Figuring Out” podcast to discuss the league’s future following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in September. While other stars have walked away, DeChambeau believes the new financial structure will finally work for the players and the organization.According to Central Oregon Daily, DeChambeau told host Raj Shamani that the league can now “make full financial sense.” He emphasized that the new model is being built to survive the long term. “The business model makes a lot of sense,” DeChambeau told host Raj Shamani. He added that the upcoming version of the tour will be handled correctly. “It’s no funny business, no nothing. It’s going to be done right. And this is going to be a league, hopefully, that exists forever.”Bankruptcy and Player ExodusThe comments were made amid severe financial trouble. Money problems forced the league to end its 2026 season early, leading it to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September. This financial collapse triggered a wave of departures. Tim Schmitt reported for Central Oregon Daily that at least 14 notable players have said they will not return to the new league. Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Sergio Garcia are among those who have opted out.Instead of joining LIV, Sergio Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, plans to compete on the DP World Tour in 2027. According to Yahoo Sports, the roster of players committed to LIV Golf 2.0 remains short so far. Richard Bland, Cameron Tringale, Brendan Steele, Victor Perez, and Ben Campbell have publicly declared their commitment. Prior to the extended Oct. 30 commitment deadline, he had not made his plans public.Team Golf and Management IssuesDeChambeau acknowledged that the original structure of the league had significant flaws. He expressed a strong desire to keep the team format but admitted the management failed to execute it well. “The point of it is that the team golf stuff, I was very excited about,” DeChambeau said. He explained that he still cares deeply about the team aspect of the game. “I really care, and I still do care deeply about the team golf stuff.”His criticism was directed at the upper leadership rather than the concept itself. “And the top company just wasn’t really managed that effectively. And I know that now … I didn’t know that during the time.” This admission suggests the new reboot aims to fix those specific management errors. Central Oregon Daily reported that DeChambeau sees the restructured LIV as a chance to get the team golf right.What This Means for the Tour Yahoo Sports contends that DeChambeau committing to LIV Golf 2.0 would significantly boost the league’s chances of success. However, the outlet also pointed out that the tour is well down the pecking order compared to the DP World Tour. Withou
