Rory McIlroy knows Bryson DeChambeau, with limited options post-LIV Golf, would bring 'eyeballs' to DP World Tour
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Rory McIlroy acknowledges that Bryson DeChambeau would bring significant attention to the DP World Tour next season, despite not being his biggest fan, especially following the collapse of LIV Golf.
- LIV Golf officially shut down after losing funding from BC Partners and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, leaving DeChambeau with limited options to continue competitive golf.
- The DP World Tour has offered DeChambeau full status for 2027, requiring a commitment soon, allowing him to play in Europe and potentially regain his PGA Tour card.
- DeChambeau could also seek an early return to the PGA Tour through a deal similar to Brooks Koepka's, though such arrangements may be costly and uncertain.
- Alternatively, DeChambeau might focus on playing major championships and building his YouTube presence, but this path lacks long-term sustainability without consistent major wins.
