Bryson DeChambeau is one of the top golfers in the LIV Golf league. After joining the Saudi-backed league, he has always praised the guaranteed hefty sum of money that was offered to its players. He recalled a time when he was with the PGA Tour and missed the cut in 14 events, which had him lose around $70,000 in just participation. He spoke about the breakaway series being phenomenal in terms of offering its players some money even if they went on to lose an event.
In episode 3 of the Good Good Podcast, Bryson DeChambeau talked with the host, Garrett Clark, and spoke about the necessary change that LIV Golf has brought. He emphasized that things have been different on the PGA Tour lately where players now make at least $500,000. But, he added that it would not have been possible if some of the players did not join the Breakaway series.
“It’s little different now. I will specify, it is a little bit different now which luckily for LIV we were part of. The change where we were able to make the top one. Well, all PGA Tour players, at least, make $500,000 for the year. Which is awesome. And I had been advocating that from the beginning when I missed 14 Cuts in a row. I was lucky enough to have sponsors with me. The guys that didn’t… they lost money,” Bryson DeChambeau said.
