According to The Athletic, DeChambeau, who is currently in the final season of his original LIV Golf contract, held meetings with unnamed organisations about a possible exit from the Saudi-backed circuit.
DeChambeau had already been presented with an opportunity to return to the PGA Tour earlier in 2026 via the Tour's Returning Member Programme, but is understood to have turned it down. The pathway was created following Brooks Koepka's departure from LIV and return to the PGA Tour earlier this year.
Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith were also among those who declined the option. The programme was reportedly limited to players who had been away from the PGA Tour for at least two years and had won either a major championship or The Players Championship between 2022 and 2025.
The renewed speculation around DeChambeau's future coincided with reports suggesting LIV Golf's financial backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund could be under review. However, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil moved to dismiss such claims last week, insisting the league remains fully funded through the 2026 season.
O'Neil later reiterated that LIV is secure at least through the current campaign, with seven events still remaining in its fourth season - five of which will be staged in the United States following last week's tournament in Mexico.
DeChambeau himself drew attention in Mexico after voicing frustration over course conditions before withdrawing midway through the event, citing a wrist injury after two rounds.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) will stop funding LIV Golf after the 2026 season, according to multiple reports, with players and staff expected to be told as soon as Thursday.
Matt Fitzpatrick and his younger brother Alex held their nerve down the stretch to secure a landmark win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a triumph that also hands Alex a two-year PGA Tour exemption.
Star pairing Brooks Koepka and Shane Lowry fell short of the leaders at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, missing the cut by a single shot as they exited before the weekend.
Bryson DeChambeau has reaffirmed his commitment to LIV Golf amid ongoing speculation about his future, saying he intends to remain with the league if it continues beyond this season.
