The 2020 US Open winner, and one of the most high-profile golfers in the world, has confirmed he will be joining the petrodollar project. The announcement comes just 24 hours after the North American tour announced the Rebels’ suspension.
The LIV Golf does not stop. With the first Saudi super league event already underway, the petrodollar organization continues to find a way to relieve both on and off the field. On this occasion, his great news was the addition of a new star to his firmament. None other than Bryson DeChambeau, winner of a major and one of the most high-profile players the PGA has had tours so far.
The “Scientist” has always been a player who received a lot of spotlight. Since emerging as an amateur, he has reaped triumphs and marks that have placed him at the pinnacle of world golf. It’s not only longest player on tour , but his comments and attitudes also helped him earn covers. Proof of this is the memorable argument he had throughout 2021 with Koepka via social media and which ended in a duel in the already classic exhibition called ‘The Match’.
But in the sporting plan it is not far either. In 138 tournaments played, he won eight, including the 2020 US Open, the 2018 Memorial and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Last year. Accomplishments that have led him to be four in the world and collect almost 25 million dollars in prize money alone.
With the addition of the scientist, LIV Golf now has its holy trinity: Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau.
Three stars of the tour, who say goodbye through the small door of the circuit that has transformed them into legends. The PGA had already been clear, “whoever plays the super league will lose their card here”. A threat that the California native didn’t care about. 24 hours after this statement, his signing for LIV Golf was announced.
His debut is set to be in Portland, on the second of eight dates the league is considering. It will be an opportunity to see Bryson again on the court, since due to a wrist injury, he has been absent from the pitch for the past few months . In fact, since April, he has only played three events, always being left out of the cut. With the gold already in his pocket, he hopes to shine again.
