Rory McIlroy Talks Bryson DeChambeau's Future in Video, 'Doesn't Seem Like He's Got Many Options'

Rory McIlroy doesn't think Bryson DeChambeau has many choices outside of accepting what is reportedly a chance to play on the DP World Tour.

"I think a name like Bryson DeChambeau, and everything he brings with him, good and bad, he brings eyeballs, which is a good thing for tournaments," McIlroy said Tuesday ahead of Thursday's start of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

"And honestly, look— I'm certainly not in his shoes, nor would I ever want to be, but it doesn't seem like he's got many options if he wants to play competitive golf."

DeChambeau left the PGA Tour in 2022 to join LIV Golf, which confirmed last week it is ending operations among ongoing bankruptcy court proceedings.

He currently runs a golf YouTube channel and said in a Sunday statement he still believes "in team golf."
