🚨🤷🏼♂️👀 JUST IN — Rory McIlroy has taken another jab at former LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau while commenting on where he might play in 2027. Only 6 days remain for DeChambeau to accept DPWT membership for 2027.
McIlroy enters this week’s DP World Tour championship in Dubai ranked 2nd in the standings and a win this week would secure him a 5th straight Race to Dubai title and 8th overall, which would tie the all time record held by Colin Montgomerie.

“Yeah, look, I think a name like Bryson DeChambeau and everything he brings with him, good and bad, he brings eyeballs, which is a good thing for tournaments….”
“And honestly, look, I'm certainly not in his shoes, and nor would I ever want to be but it doesn't seem like he's got many options. You know, if he wants to play competitive golf, it doesn't seem like he's got many options…”
Where do you hope Bryson will play in 2027? DPWT, PGA Tour, or become a full-time YouTube golfer?
@TheDegenWeekly@alexivanov904 At the end of the day it definitely comes back to the fact Alex mentioned he does have a significant amount of control left as opposed to any other rental and is also signed thru his entire prime really (26, 27, 28).
@alexivanov904@TheDegenWeekly He’s incredible and was a big part of the SB win, not saying he’s not worth it. Just surprised he yielded that much on the market. Would’ve figured it would’ve been like a first and a third/fourth convertible pick or something.
LIV Golf didn’t fail because of the players, quite the opposite actually. Those three were probably the only reason people bothered to tune in.
The lack of legitimacy and legacy in the league provided fans no opportunity to truly resonate with the product. 🤷♂️
@SchefflerLegion I'm not so sure it's that big of a win for the DP World Tour. We literally just saw a golf league with Bryson, Rahm, and Hatton playing that had to fold because nobody tuned in to watch them play.
I mean this is the biggest layup the DP World Tour could’ve asked for
Get a year of Bryson, Rahm, and Hatton as they earn their cards back to the PGAT
Albeit I would like a clause from the PGAT leadership that any ex-LIV golfer doesn’t take out of the normal pool of DPWT cards allotted and more are added
Exclusive: Bryson DeChambeau has been offered a free route back to the professional game by the DP World Tour after LIV Golf confirmed that it is finally shutting down.

I will say it’s rather surprising it took this long even following the Rahm and Hatton non-commitments to LIV Golf 2.0
Will be an interesting year ahead for everyone involved over there for sure, though
The Financial Times is reporting that BC Partners is set to drop its bid to invest into LIV Golf 2.0 due to lack of player commitments. The next bankruptcy hearing is tomorrow when more details will become public. The PIF is expected to liquidate the remaining assets.

🚨🔫⛳️#SHOTS FIRED – Ahead of this week’s Abu Dhabi Championship, Rory McIlroy has taken yet another swing at the LIV Golf League, echoing recent comments made by DPWT CEO Guy Kinnings. McIlroy enters the week 3rd in the Race to Dubai Rankings and is seeking his first win in Abu Dhabi.
“They took players, they took sponsors. They turned professional golf into an arms race. They were going around Augusta saying they wanted to destroy The European Tour.…”

“…It's ironic that a week later, now they are talking about completing and not competing and all that. That's different from what they were saying at the start of the year. I think everything that's transpired… a lot of the guys wanted to come back and play the DP World Tour.”
“Again, this was always going to be the case. It was always going to be good for a few years until something like this happened, or they realised they weren't going to get any return on investment, or they were going to leave the golf space and go invest in something else and invest in something that would actually make them money...”
“I think for long-term sustainability for men's professional golf, I think we are in a much better spot.”
Do you agree with Rory?
🚨🇲🇽⛳️ JUST IN — Wyndham Clark says he will have his brother Brendan on the bag this week at the Mexico Open and wants to play well so he can help him pay for his upcoming wedding & honeymoon.
Polymarket $100 ➡️ $1401.60
Wyndham says his regular caddie is in Italy attending a different wedding this week. “My brother jumped on it and he said, I'm caddying for you, otherwise you're not coming to the wedding. Of course I wanted my brother, too. It's kind of fun for us... this will be a fun, special week.”
“I would love for my brother with his wedding coming up.. a great week so I can give him a nice check to help pay for the wedding and honeymoon.”
Clark has now ascended to #5 in the world after winning 3 times, including a major W in 2026.
Are you rooting for Wyndham this week?
This basically proves Bryson and Rahm were the only draws for LIV and even then they probably were not profitable given those insane contracts doled out
$24 and $16.9 million revenue for the Crushers and Legion XIII over 3 years is pretty solid though on its own
Some interesting data from the most recent court filings. Numbers are gross revenue for each LIV Golf team over the past 3 seasons. 2026 numbers are through 8/31/26.
🚨❌⛳️ #MAJOR BREAKING — 8-time DP World Tour winner Tyrrell Hatton has announced on IG that he is leaving LIV Golf. The high profile departure comes amidst a slew of other exits on Friday.
According to Polymarket, there is now a 41% chance that the league shuts down in 2026.
Hatton joins the following golfers who have publicly confirmed departures from the league as LIV 2.0 faces a Sunday commitment deadline.
Jon Rahm
Louis Oosthuizen
David Puig
Adrian Meronk
Charles Howell III
Thomas Pieters
Abraham Ancer
Ian Poulter
Lucas Herbert
Branden Grace
Do you think LIV will survive?
🚨📈🇪🇸 #UPDATE — 4-time DP World Tour winner Eugenio Chacarra currently leads the Race to Dubai Rankings and will comfortably lock up his PGA Tour card for the 2027 season. He is now on the verge of achieving a life long goal: “I’ve dreamed about playing on the PGA TOUR since I was a little kid watching golf in Spain…”
After winning in India, Chacarra is now a favorite to win this week on the DPWT at The Genesis Championship in Korea.
Polymarket $25 ➡️ $190.05
The former #2 top ranked amateur left LIV Golf following the 2024 season, citing his desire to win on the PGA TOUR, and critiqued the league for being only about money.
Do you think he makes the Ryder Cup team?
