Bryson DeChambeau looks set to continue with LIV Golf in 2026 after being seen preparing in Riyadh ahead of the season opener.

Golf outlet Flushing It shared a photo on X on Monday showing DeChambeau practising under the lights in Saudi Arabia, just as the deadline for the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program approaches.

The post read:

The PGA Tour recently introduced a one-time Returning Member Program, giving select LIV players a chance to regain their Tour status. The window closes on February 2 just days before LIV Golf tees off in Riyadh.

DeChambeau is among the players eligible for reinstatement, along with Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith, as all three meet the criteria of having been away from the Tour for at least two years and winning a major championship since 2022.

However, DeChambeau has previously hinted that his focus remains on LIV Golf for now.

DeChambeau joined LIV Golf in 2022 after a successful PGA Tour career that included nine wins and U.S. Open titles in 2020 and 2024. The LIV Golf season will begin in Riyadh from February 4 to 7 where DeChambeau is expected to lead Crushers GC into the new campaign.

Bryson DeChambeau opens up about long-term career plans

Bryson DeChambeau recently opened up about how he sees the future of his career possibly changing in the coming years. The two-time US Open champion admitted that stepping away from playing full-time golf while still competing in major championships is something he is seriously considering.

Speaking in an interview with Front Office Sports, DeChambeau was asked whether focusing more on his YouTube content while preparing mainly for majors could work. He said it was something he already feels comfortable doing, as his online golf challenges help keep his game sharp.

“It’s incredibly viable option, I’ll tell you that. Doing the course record series and playing ‘Break 50s’ does keep me quite dialed in for tournament golf. That’s why I do it right before competition. It’s a possibility. The financial opportunities are there and I’m excited to see what comes in the future,” DeChambeau said.

Despite those thoughts DeChambeau continues to perform strongly on the LIV Golf circuit. He has finished inside the top eight in the season standings for three straight years, including third place last season. He has also picked up three LIV wins, captured the 2024 US Open, and earned a spot on the US Ryder Cup team.

Away from tournaments, his YouTube series “Break 50” has grown massively, with more than 2.58 million subscribers.

For now, DeChambeau says his main focus remains winning on LIV Golf and competing at the highest level in majors. One of his biggest goals is still completing the career Grand slam.

Having already claimed two US Open titles he is now chasing victories at the Masters, the PGA Championship and The Open. He is currently exempt into all three events through at least 2028.
