Bryson DeChambeau said ahead of LIV Korea that players were surprised by Saudi PIF's decision to stop funding the circuit after the 2026 season, but he remains optimistic about its future.
DeChambeau said he is working behind the scenes to attract new investors, arguing team golf still has a viable business model even as LIV's long-term future is in doubt.
Recent Sportico and CNBC reports said LIV is pitching investors on a slimmer 10-event global schedule, down from 12 events on the 2026 calendar.
