Bryson DeChambeau to play in second event of LIV Golf Series at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland from June 30 to July 2
Last Updated: 10/06/22 4:41pm
Former US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has officially joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series, tournament officials have announced.
DeChambeau confirmed his intention to join to the breakaway circuit on Wednesday and will play in the second event in Portland which starts later this month.
The 28-year-old will join the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter who are playing in the inaugural event at the Centurion Club in St Albans.
Minutes after the first shots were struck on Thursday, the PGA Tour suspended all 17 players in the field who were taking part, despite having been turned down for the required releases, and said “the same fate holds true” for players participating in future LIV Golf events, so DeChambeau, an eight-time PGA Tour winner, will now also be suspended.
DeChambeau revealed on Wednesday he would be playing the second LIV Golf Series event in Portland at the end of the month, despite last week suggesting he would not be joining the breakaway series
Back in February, DeChambeau denied he was offered £100m to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series, and wrote on his official Twitter account: “While there has been a lot of speculation surrounding my support for another tour, I want to make it very clear that as long as the best players in the world are playing the PGA Tour, so will I.”
The world No 28 also distanced himself from the tour as recently as last Thursday, claiming he would not “risk” joining at this stage of his career.
However, he has now had a change of heart with his agent Brett Falkoff saying earlier in the week: “Bryson has always been an innovator. Having the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something unique has always been intriguing to him. Pro golf as we know it is changing and it’s happening quickly.”
The second tournament of the series is at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland from June 30 to July 2.
