Bryson DeChambeau isn’t ruling out playing a full PGA Tour schedule once again in the future if Public Investment Fund (PIF), the PGA and DP World Tour can come to an agreement to heal the fractures in the game.
DeChambeau is currently suspended from the PGA Tour following his move to LIV Golf in June 2022 for a reported signing on fee of $100 million.
But there could possibly be a route back to the PGA Tour for those that defected to the breakaway circuit after PIF, DP World and PGA announced a framework agreement last June, promising to unify the game of golf, on a global basis.
While talks are still ongoing, any agreement could allow the likes of DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm to play against their PGA Tour counterparts once again.
Something DeChambeau is keen on.
“Look, I would love to continue to showcase my skill set around the world in different places, whether it be Shriners or the Arnold Palmer, Mr. Nicklaus' event, TPC Las Vegas,” said DeChambeau ahead of the Masters Tournament, where he is one of 13 LIV players competing.
“I'd love to play those events. They've been great to me. Shoot, even Riviera.
“I'd love to play Tiger's event; put on a fantastic event in a good community and around some great people. That's what I look forward to hopefully being able to do down the road.
“Do I want to play a full schedule? You know what, I don't know. We'll see how things shake out. I don't know what the future is going to look like, and I'm not here to decide that.
“But would I like to play a few? Sure, ones that I truly enjoyed and had a lot of friends with and helped impact the community in a positive way, absolutely.”
While talks continue between the big wigs at the three oganisations, DeChambeau is doing everything in his power to make the players on both sides aware of where he sees the future of the game heading.
“Continue to talk to players on both sides, just show that there is a mutually beneficial ground, a peace that I hope a lot of people can start to see,” he said.
“I've had visions of this for quite a long time. You can't publicly say them, unfortunately, because you get scrutinized and criticized and everybody throws things in certain ways to give you curve balls.
“I want to be very careful and cautious because I don't know what the future of golf fully looks like, and I'm just a bystander trying to play some golf and trying to help advocate for the fans to win again. They need to win.
“And people can say I moved to one side, but I did it for my family and what I had in front of me at that point in time. I think my mom would have probably smacked me for not taking the deal.
“Everybody has their own prerogatives and wishes and wants, and the only thing I wish is that we can all see eye to eye on some things and that we can come back to some level playing field where we can all have some fun together.”
