Bryson DeChambeau admitted he is torn between professional golf and YouTube content creation.

On May 25, the Fore Play Podcast shared a clip on X discussing DeChambeau's recent comments about his future from the Katie Miller Podcast.

“I’m in a weird place right now. I don’t know what to choose: either content creation or professional golf. I really don’t know what to do right now,” DeChambeau had said.

Host Sam Riggs Bozoian asked his co-host, "If he [DeChambeau] stopped playing professional golf, do you think the content creation would be as successful?"

"It loses a lot of the juice, in my eyes," co-host Frankie Borrelli replied.

Riggs agreed without hesitation. DeChambeau works as a content creator because he is still a working professional golfer. Pull one out, and the whole formula shifts.

"Right now, he's living in this really cool world where he's doing both," the host said. "If he goes full into content creation, he just becomes another content creator."

The hosts said the combination works because DeChambeau can win a U.S. Open one week and film unique golf content the next, something no regular content creator can replicate.

"I think if he stops playing golf at the highest level," the host said, "I think he would just lose some of his juice."

DeChambeau's LIV Golf contract expires after 2026, and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has officially announced it will stop funding the tour after this season.

He missed the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship this season, which made the discussion even bigger. Returning to the PGA Tour could bring penalties.

Bryson DeChambeau’s Big Choice Between Golf and Content Creation

DeChambeau told ESPN before LIV Golf Virginia that he wants to grow his YouTube channel globally through dubbed videos.

When he was asked if content creation pays as well as professional golf, his answer was very clear.

"They're about the same if you are up to that level in content creation; they are very similar."

The platform already generates revenue comparable to his golf earnings through more than 2.71 million subscribers and around 22 million monthly viewers.

Additionally, a full-time return to the PGA Tour does not seem to be something DeChambeau strongly wants right now, especially because a comeback could come with major penalties.

So the three paths, LIV, PGA Tour, and YouTube, all come with a catch. And DeChambeau, by his own admission, hasn't figured out which catch he's willing to live with.
