Bryson DeChambeau "Would Rather Grow YouTube Golf" Than Return To PGA Tour?!

0:00 Bryson Dshambo said, "I'm going be a YouTuber then.

0:02 __] off." And uh that was quite a big statement.

0:06 Yeah, it was.

0:07 Bryson said, "I love you." Bryson massive git for Liv.

0:11 Massive get

0:12 one of the most popular golfers on tour.

0:14 Obviously big golf ball whacker guy on tour.

0:17 He was an attraction.

0:18 Uh he became an incredible YouTube content creator.

0:22 Very relatable.

0:23 We started learning a lot about Dsham Bro

0:25 and uh obviously he takes his talents over to live.

0:29 was still able to play in the majors.

0:30 Played the best, I think, out of all the Liv players on a regular basis.

0:33 Also became the most famous, most relevant in the entirety.

0:36 Now getting back into the PGA from the Liv seems like

0:39 something that uh might not be the easiest it sounds like.

0:42 Uh from Bryson Dshambo's point, he's just focused on YouTube, bro.

0:46 So I like that he's just potentially is

0:48 he just viewing himself as a retired golfer?

0:50 I'm just content creator and then he'll get to play

0:51 in the majors and then just kind of keep it

0:53 moving and this is his life now because he's already

0:54 been paid a couple hundred million dollars from his last tour.

0:56 It's a great question.

0:57 Um, I believe this was like he said if if Liv folded.

1:00 So, obviously we'll still have to see what's happening there.

1:02 Um, I would love to see how he would fare

1:04 if he only did YouTube golf and then played the majors.

1:07 Uh, feels like something that probably wouldn't go well.

1:10 This is a guy who uh did the crime and doesn't want to pay the time.

1:13 Okay, that's kind of what Bryson's doing here.

1:15 He wants everyone everyone everyone drop your egos,

1:17 but he's not willing to pay any concessions for what he did.

1:20 Okay, everybody everyone's going to drop their egos except for Bryson.

1:22 Okay, have fun.

1:23 Hit balls over your house and in little red

1:25 cups and then see how it fares at the majors.

1:27 Sounds like you're pretty passionate about this.

1:28 Did not expect that.

1:29 I love when he was chipping it over his house 21 days or whatever it was.

1:32 I enjoyed the content.

1:33 Him showing up at majors,

1:34 being able to play well will certainly be a question mark.

1:36 That's kind of been the live story of this whole thing.

1:38 You guys got paid a lot of money.

1:39 Do you still care about golf?

1:40 Damro has done well.

1:41 And I think if he was to just go YouTube,

1:43 he'd feel like he'd be representing the YouTube golfers out there in the majors.

1:47 He came here and the back of the Thunderdome.

1:50 He was.

1:50 He did.

1:51 I can't believe you're saying this about Bryce.

1:52 He'll be he'll be back in the PGA.

1:54 Yeah.

1:54 one of the five guys we talked about earlier like C that Cam

1:56 Young mentioned there is a handful of people he's one of them.

1:59 Now if John Rom says that his contract is pretty tough to get

2:02 out of till 2029 I'm assuming Bryson Dshambo's contract is the exact same.

2:07 So if there's just a little inkling of Liv where there's 25 people going

2:11 to a MUN and they're going to put on a some sort of tournament

2:14 which is kind of what I'm expecting at this point and they're going

2:17 to pour about you know $5 million into it over the next three years.

2:21 He's going to be there wi with John RP.

2:24 What's that?

2:24 Bruce raising his hand in the back with some clarification.

2:26 Maybe

2:28 close.

2:27 Um if if PIF is pulling out, who's like enforcing Liv's side of the contract?

2:33 And won't they eventually run out of money for lawyers to enforce said contract.

2:37 Louis Vuitton, Travis Scott.

2:39 Yeah, they had a CEO.

2:42 Yeah.

2:41 Scott O'Neal really shocked Shambo.

2:45 Bryson said he was shocked that Piff pulled out.

2:47 Really?

2:48 He said there's communication.

2:49 This guy's got no

2:51 It was described.

2:51 What are you talking about?

2:52 Everybody was told that they were in it to to win it.

2:55 DESCRIBED AS A BOTTOMLESS PIT.

2:56 IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE seven quadrillion dollars.

2:59 You don't want to keep dumping trillions

3:00 and billions into it and not getting any return.

3:02 That's kind of what we were a couple years.

3:06 Seven quadrillion dollars.

3:08 You're not worried about me situation.

3:11 Yes, you are.

3:11 But it did feel as if, you know, they uh kind of changed it all.

3:14 you know, feel like they kind of changed it all because at the beginning,

3:17 you know, this was kind of the money that they had over there.

3:21 Look, they said it was golf but louder.

3:25 There's no way you could do this again.

3:27 And they said, "We will support you." Okay, I'm watching it.

3:30 They put everything in there.

3:31 5 billion worth in there.

3:33 And they said, "You got everything you possibly need.

3:35 We're going to go ahead and do golf but louder."

3:38 Zoom that in.

3:39 You jamming in with your other fingers.

3:40 Why don't you jam in with your thumb?

3:41 I jam.

3:42 Yeah, whatever you want.

3:43 Don't cover your mouth.

3:44 You put in your mouth.

3:45 No, no, no, no problem.

3:46 You take all that money.

3:49 Uh-huh.

3:49 Watch this.

3:50 And now what are you left with?

3:52 Piff said we're out.

3:53 So Liv's got Oh.

3:56 Holy[ __]

3:58 WHERE'D IT GO?

3:59 WOW.

3:59 WHERE IT GO?

3:59 WHERE' IT GO?

4:00 WHERE IT GO?

4:00 OFF THE SLEEVE.

4:01 NO.

4:01 NO.

4:02 NOTHING.

4:02 IT'S GONE.

4:03 IT'S GONE.

4:03 MONEY'S GONE.

4:04 All gone for So maybe we'll get Dshan Bro back in PGA because they won't be able

4:08 to uphold the contract cuz they're supposed

4:09 to pay him a certain amount of money.

4:10 So maybe it'll be a breach on their end.

4:12 Maybe Rombo won't be able to get a paycheck

4:14 from Liv who doesn't have the PIFF backing.

4:16 So that's a breach on their end.

4:18 And maybe the boys are welcomed back into the PGA

4:20 after they go ahead and grounds a little bit.

4:22 Yeah.

4:22 And maybe we got all the best golfers

4:23 battling every single weekend at every single PGA tournament.

4:26 That is possible.

4:27 And I like that.

4:27 That'd be cool.

4:28 That' be the win.

4:29 Liv was an ass execution of an idea that had a $5 billion budget.

4:34 You say it was.

4:35 What do you mean was?

4:36 Thought they're getting they're getting infusion of cash, aren't they?

4:38 I saw Louis Vuitton, Travis Scott.

4:41 Okay.

4:41 I have faith in him.

4:42 That was good to see.

4:43 I thought he looked cool.

4:44 Guy who's the new CEO of Liv.

4:46 I hope he does a great job.

4:48 They've already used5 billion dollars.

4:50 I don't know if they have access to another five billion,

4:52 but maybe they won't need it because it's

4:54 a completely different direction and maybe he has great ideas.

4:57 Feels like Liv is dead.

4:59 Yeah, it does feel like that's the case.

5:01 People's contracts are for another few years.

5:02 Rom's gone in there and say, "Hey, they're really good contracts." Yeah.

5:06 So, I don't know how I'm getting out

5:07 of this thing unless the entire thing folds,

5:09 which I guess could happen in the future.

5:11 But the PGA community obviously now has to live with how

5:15 who do we let Cam Young had interesting answers.

5:17 I won't play against the best man.

5:18 That's what I do.

5:19 I just Let's go ahead and He did, but he also No, he didn't say just let

5:23 also said it did feel like you were going all in or not.

5:26 Says a handful of them over there that he wants less to play against every week.

5:30 Yeah.

5:30 But

5:31 and that's the only ones we really care about too as spectators.

5:35 Yeah.

5:35 I think we are kind of pitching this entire conversation just for a few people.

5:39 Oh yeah.

5:40 Two to three.

5:40 Now those people though were the ones that were poached to go take on.

5:44 Yeah.

5:44 Oh yeah.

5:45 So that's why they were the biggest def factors.

5:47 Did you see us grounds keepers maybe for the tournaments?

5:50 A couple of those AJ.

5:51 Did you see that?

5:51 Yeah.

5:52 The old construction worker angle like Yeah.

5:54 Make them work their way back into a tournament.

5:56 Yeah.

5:56 I I guess it's not the worst idea.

5:58 What if they were a tea box?

5:59 We've seen John Daly do it before.

6:01 What do you mean put a tea?

6:03 Put a tea between your butt cheeks.

6:04 Okay.

6:05 Yeah.

6:05 I don't know.

6:06 Maybe Rolap will do that.

6:07 What another idea was they come back to the PGA,

6:11 they have to play all the events.

6:13 Every single one of them.

6:14 They have to play all the welcome back.

6:16 Yeah.

6:16 For like for two or three years, you play every single possible event.

6:19 All the events until you win one.

6:20 And then if you win one, you kind of test your way out of that.

6:23 Okay.

6:23 Yeah, I like that.

6:24 Yeah.

6:24 But you got to play at all of them.

6:25 And for me as fan, I'll turn on some[ __] golf tournament on a Sunday

6:30 and I'll see two names that I know and it'll be good for the PGA,

6:33 be good for me as a golf fan.

6:34 You're back in the PGA.

6:36 Okay, let's congratulations.

6:38 You're playing in Wyoming at the who gives a damn thing.

6:43 Whatever.

6:43 Whatever it is, but it's on my TV cuz it's PGA tournament

6:46 and now you have to play this because you're back in the PGA.

6:49 Could also start with strokes like, oh,

6:51 you got $150 million from, you know, live.

6:54 Boom.

6:55 You're plus 15 to start this weekend.

6:57 Oh, because they do that with the FedEx Cup.

6:58 So, they already have precedent on giving strokes.

7:01 Bingo.

7:01 So, this would be no different.

7:02 Nope.

7:02 Same exact thing.

7:03 It's just kind of a PIF tax.

7:05 This is what we're saying though.

7:06 We We can think of so many ideas.

7:08 I felt like we were kind of just shoot away on the roll out the red carpet,

7:11 let him back in and tell them thank you on the way back.

7:15 Those fat checks, those elevated events.

7:17 Yeah, those other players better thank this weekend.

7:20 The no cut signature event.

7:22 Ton of money.

7:23 Welcome.

7:23 Thank you, Liv.

7:24 The 150 flat rate so you're not just wasting 40 grand

7:27 just in case you don't make the cut on Friday and then

7:30 you have to get back to it on Monday or Tuesday

7:32 and do all that BS with the sponsors that they used to have.

7:36 Participation[ __] talk going on right now.

7:38 You're welcome.

7:39 Well, I like what you guys are are

7:41 I agree that it certainly made the PGA um better to its players,

7:45 treated the players better.

7:46 I think that is very true and real and I think they would admit that as well.

7:49 But when it happened, it was very clearly like,

7:51 oh yeah, it was a war.

7:52 I'm gonna kill you.

7:53 It was a war.

7:55 Yeah.

7:55 Now it's messed up.

7:56 That dissipated.

7:57 They lost.

7:58 It's messed up.

7:59 And it kind of did a fizzle out.

8:00 But there's going to have to be something, you know,

8:02 especially whenever they say, "Hey, if you come by February 2nd,

8:06 yeah, you're back.

8:06 Is there a path now though?

8:07 Is there a path for anyone to come back now?

8:09 They Somebody's going through a year suspension

8:12 or something." And then Brooksie was an alternative,

8:14 I think, for a couple or something like that.

8:15 Yeah.

8:16 He is uh at the elevated events.

8:17 The last two of them he had to he went there as an alternate did not

8:21 no one no one dropped out of the field so he had to he left on Thursday.

8:24 So uh he has not played an elevated event yet.

8:27 But yeah, Brooks $5 million to charity or whatever.

8:30 Uh but he was like they had an option.

8:32 Cam said it like all these guys had an option.

8:34 Brooks was the only one that took that option.

8:36 And now now that Liv is folding, they're like,

8:38 "Oh shoot, I want to jump on that trade." Brooks was never all in.

8:41 Let's talk about he had Nike.

8:42 He stuck with Nike the whole time.

8:44 Feels like he kind of We watched the super swing series, the full swing.

8:48 Yep, there it is.

8:49 And Brooks in a bad spot.

8:51 Felt like watching Brooks when he made that decision to go to live,

8:54 he thought he was never going to be able to hit

8:56 a golf ball to where he was aiming it again.

8:58 That's what I learned from Super Swing.

9:00 Yeah.

9:00 So, when he gets offered $200 million for golf, I think he thought, "This is it.

9:04 This is all I got."

9:05 Then he found his game again and he was like,

9:08 200 million, but who am I playing against?

9:12 Let's see.

9:13 Hey, everybody else had to give up their Nike deal.

9:15 I'm not doing that.

9:16 I'm keeping my Nike deal.

9:18 Okay.

9:18 You're going to wear your Range Goats hat?

9:20 No, I'm wearing a Nike.

9:22 Smashmouth GC.

9:23 No, I'm wearing a Nike.

9:24 That's a sick name.

9:27 Smashmouth.

9:27 Smash GC.

9:28 Do they still own these teams?

9:29 Remember they're talking about, hey, you get equity in the teams and all that.

9:31 Are they worth anything?

9:32 Yeah, they're making a ton.

9:34 Investors.

9:34 They

9:37 possibly the team owners, Phil and Bryson and Bob, they're making a ton.

9:40 I was pumped to see the amount of money go to the athletes.

9:42 I don't want to continue to just say that.

9:44 That's why I stuck up for live because so much money was going

9:46 to athletes and everybody was grandstanding

9:48 about where the money was coming from.

9:49 It's like, well, there's a lot of that money everywhere,

9:52 okay?

9:52 So, let's not get mad about and now we all know that.

9:55 Now, everybody on earth knows that a little

9:56 bit more than they did maybe in 2022.

9:58 So, I didn't like that the athletes were

9:59 the only ones that were getting grandstanded upon.

10:01 I'm like, you can't take that money because you it's a bad it's bad money.

10:05 It's like, well, that I just got Starbucks.

10:08 I just watch a I was down.

10:10 They're in everything.

10:11 Their money, their money, every we tracing money for everything.

10:14 So I was always seemingly people would tell me that I was a pro live guy.

10:17 I'm pro these guys getting a[ __] ton of money to be athletes.

10:20 Now I had eyes and I tried to find the live thing.

10:23 Couldn't find it and it was ass when I found it and I

10:26 think I was pretty open about that for for for a while about that.

10:29 So I'm happy the PGA and its professionalism and what it is continues to rain.

10:34 But I would like to see everybody,

10:35 but I don't think the people that made the decision to take $200 million being

10:39 walked right back in is fair at all to the guys that turned down 150,

10:42 $200 million at the time and basically were forced into a you're bad peopleide

10:48 trying to take on things.

10:49 So, I think there has to be something.

10:50 That's all I'm saying.

10:51 There's got to be a path.

10:52 Got to be a path where you can play your way back onto tour.

10:55 And you got to have some kind you

10:56 shouldn't have to start from the the absolute bottom.

10:58 There's got to be some kind of way.

10:59 If you have status somehow and you are a guy that's won got to find a way back.

11:04 What was that show that they big break?

11:06 Is that what they used to break the glass?

11:09 Love that.

11:09 Tic tac toe with the glass.

11:11 The whole thing late night.

11:12 That was right after the golf fix when you put the tube in the thing.

11:15 Unuffable.

11:16 Great show.

11:16 Yeah.

11:16 That's why I bought the That's why I bought this.

11:20 Yep.

11:20 That's why I bought this right here.

11:21 The undouffable big break.

11:24 They weren't using this.

11:25 I thought Is that like a fairway?

11:26 Is like a fairway wood or is that like a chipper around anywhere?

11:29 I think it's a wedge.

11:30 That's unuffable.

11:30 It's a wedge though.

11:32 Oh, I don't doubt.

11:33 Can you turn it?

11:33 Turn it sideways.

11:34 Can we see it?

11:35 I want to see the full Okay, I got it now.

11:37 I'm okay.

11:38 I thought it was like almost like a a wood.

11:40 And by the way, put that head on a brick wall.

11:44 Yep.

11:44 Co Perfect.
