Bryson DeChambeau is preparing for life after LIV Golf. The American star has stayed central to LIV Golf in 2026, but with questions growing around the league’s future, the two-time major winner is already thinking beyond what comes next.

DeChambeau has made significant earnings from his time at LIV. His 2025 LIV Miami play earned him a neat $1.1 million, while this year, his time at LIV Adelaide earned him $1.2 million. He made a total of over $57 million from his time at LIV Golf per Spotrac. With his massive payouts at risk, he looks to other endeavors.

"I think, from my perspective, I'd love to grow my YouTube channel three times, maybe even more," DeChambeau said on Tuesday at Trump National Golf Club, as shared via ESPN.

DeChambeau is one of LIV Golf’s leading names in 2026, but questions around his future with the league have not gone away.

His current deal runs through the end of the season, and although he has pushed back on PGA Tour return rumors, discussions of a new LIV contract are still brewing.

"I'd love to do a bunch of dubbing in different languages, giving the world more reason to watch YouTube. And then I'd love to play tournaments that want me," added the 32-year-old.

Those discussions come at a time when reports suggest Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund may stop directly funding the league after 2026. 

Away from the course, the nine-time PGA Tour winner has also built a strong presence on YouTube. His channel now has more than 2.5 million subscribers, giving him an audience beyond LIV.

DeChambeau's shift in focus suggests he is preparing for a career that goes beyond traditional league loyalties.

Bryson DeChambeau says LIV Golf and the PGA Tour need to move past ego

DeChambeau turned to the wider split in men’s golf and said both sides need to move past self-interest in order to further the sport.

"The egos need to get dropped," said DeChambeau while discussing where he believes men’s golf needs to go next as LIV and the PGA Tour remain divided.

The PGA Tour, meanwhile, has avoided treating LIV’s financial situation as a public victory, but it has begun reopening the door for certain players.

That became more noticeable after nine-time PGA Tour winner, Brooks Koepka, returned in late 2025, signaling that the tour is willing to accept players back, though on its own terms.

"Everybody needs to come in with a level-headed playing field, with an opportunistic mindset to grow the game of golf. That's why I came over here. That's why I do what I do on YouTube," added the 2026 LIV Golf South Africa winner.

LIV players returning are still expected to face fines, suspensions, or both before getting back full PGA status.

Do you think Bryson DeChambeau stays with LIV Golf, or is he already preparing for what comes next?
