Bryson DeChambeau left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf back in 2022.
However, with LIV Golf’s house of cards seemingly coming down, DeChambeau may have to seriously consider the prospect of returning to the PGA Tour at some point in the future.
The 32-year-old two-time major champion is an extremely divisive character. He is loved by some and hated by others.
However, there is no denying the fact that Bryson DeChambeau is one of the biggest, most blockbuster stars in the game.
It’s such a shame that we, as fans, don’t get to see the LIV Golf star compete regularly against the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour would surely want Bryson DeChambeau back competing, and at the end of the day, Brian Rolapp is a businessman.
He will surely do anything he can to make the PGA Tour a better product for its sponsors and the fans.
Key reason Bryson DeChambeau may not rejoin the PGA Tour could disappear
Earlier this week, DeChambeau confirmed the key reason why he may not even want to rejoin the PGA Tour, and that was to do with their social media and YouTube policies.
“If I was to film a video at one of their events with a content creator or a celebrity that would be in violation to my knowledge,” he said.
“They didn’t let me do it when I was on there. I asked numerous times and they did not let Grant Horvat or Garrett Clark do some videos during Monday and Tuesday practice rounds. That’s the truth.”
YouTube is such a key aspect of DeChambeau’s golfing life nowadays.
He puts a lot of time and effort into content creation for his channel, which has grown exponentially over the past couple of years.
So it’s understandable why he would be concerned about the PGA Tour’s policy regarding content creation.
However, there is some good news for DeChambeau, if he does indeed want to return to the PGA Tour.
According to Front Office Sports, the PGA Tour is set to announce a new social media policy which will enable golfers to create and produce more content.
What the PGA Tour’s new content creation policy actually means
In short, DeChambeau can record a Break 50 Series, for example, during a practice round before a PGA Tour event.
However, the big change is that now he will be able to include whatever ads he wants, which was not the case before.
That could be hugely important for the 32-year-old American.
It means that DeChambeau would be in control of the money that he is able to earn through creating content, although the PGA Tour would undoubtedly demand a slice of the pie.
If Bryson DeChambeau is to ever leave LIV Golf and return to the PGA Tour, one would imagine that the new and updated policy regarding content creation could well be the difference-maker.
Whatever way you look at it, the PGA Tour’s latest move will surely push DeChambeau closer to leaving LIV Golf.
