The two-time US Open champion said reports of return discussions were "completely untrue" as LIV scrambles for funding after Saudi Arabia's PIF decided to end its $5bn backing after 2026.
DeChambeau, 32, said he remains committed to making team golf work, with LIV seeking new investors and trying to retain stars including Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith.
He joined LIV in 2022 on a reported $125m deal expiring this season, and said contract talks continue despite doubts the circuit can survive beyond 2026.
