Bryson DeChambeau has not done LIV Golf any favors after what he has done before The Open Championship

Another major championship, and another no-show to the media for Bryson DeChambeau.

The two-time US Open winner and LIV Golf’s biggest superstar will not hold a press conference at The Open Championship, and this is now the third straight major championship in which the American has not taken questions from the media. 

It started after his missed cut at The Masters. DeChambeau triple bogeyed the final hole to miss the cut, and went straight home without talking to the media. That’s not uncommon for a player after a disappointing result. 

But then DeChambeau didn’t take questions at all during the PGA Championship or at the US Open, and he missed the cut at both tournaments. 

This trend hasn’t changed at Royal Birkdale, and LIV Golf has the right to be frustrated with their biggest star.

LIV Golf should be frustrated with Bryson DeChambeau for skipping media

LIV Golf needs DeChambeau now more than ever. After the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrew its support for the league, the league is desperately seeking new investment to keep the tour alive in 2027 and beyond.

CEO Scott O’Neil is doing a media tour to sell the tour to investors, and DeChambeau said he’s involved in some of these talks. He has a clear vision for the tour’s future, which he says he is committed to. 

But by ducking the media at majors, DeChambeau looks to be avoiding the tough questions from the national media about LIV. And if he won’t go to bat for LIV in front of the media, then why should investors believe in the product?

Combine this with DeChambeau still being out of contract at the end of this season, not having renewed his deal, and he’s doing very little to assure anyone that he truly believes in his tour.

He was even seen speaking to PGA Tour officials at The Masters to discuss a potential return, and has continually floated the idea that he could do content creation full-time and only play at the majors in 2027.

Despite his words of support, DeChambeau’s actions say he doesn’t believe in the future of LIV Golf, and that should be of great concern to the tour.
