Add Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau to the list of torn relationships caused by the tension between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
At first, DeChambeau didn’t mention Woods by name — only suggesting that someone had cut him off, and joking to the outlet that “I’m sure you can guess who” — before addressing his relationship with the 47-year-old, 15-time major champion.
“Yeah, I’m not going to throw anyone under the bus,” DeChambeau said. “He’s been a great friend. I texted him on his birthday. It is what it is. He has his viewpoints on it and thinks we’re potentially hurting his record. If anything, nobody is ever going to touch his record. That’s just it, that’s the bottom line.”Bryson DeChambeau defected to LIV Golf in June 2022.
Woods has supported the PGA Tour as prominent golfers left, and his agent, Mark Steinberg, even generated attention when he suddenlyblasted LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg NormanBryson DeChambeau and Tiger Woods, pictured at the 2022 PGA Championship, will overlap at the Masters next week.At the LIV Golf event in Orlando this weekend, DeChambeau opened with a 1-under round and sits in a tie for 26th.
“There’s a chance to grow the game even more and I hope one day [Woods will] see the vision that we all have out here,” DeChambeau told Golfweek.
