LIV Golf caused a major split in 2022 when it started luring star names away from the PGA Tour with the offer of huge pay increases.<\/p>\n
DeChambeau joined LIV Golf in 2022 and, along with fellow stars Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith, turned down the chance to return to the PGA Tour earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The PGA Tour set up a returning member programme, which was open until 2 February, and accepted Brooks Koepka back on the American circuit as part of the initiative following his departure from LIV Golf.<\/p>\n
“We’re building a bunch of junior golf events right now and each team is looking to build junior golf academies,” added DeChambeau. “That’s something that we’ve been working on for almost three or four months now.<\/p>\n
“We’re looking to host an event here coming up, probably in the next, I’d say, couple of months, because we want to do something special by the Team Championship. There’s definitely some really cool things in the works.”<\/p>\n
DeChambeau’s LIV contract is up at the end of this season and he was looking to sign a lucrative new deal.<\/p>\n
Speaking recently before the announcement of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund withdrawing its funding, DeChambeau said: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.<\/p>\n
“We’re still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
