“I don't know what the future holds”: Bryson DeChambeau talks about Masters exemption ending in 2025

It has been a tough journey for LIV Golf players, including the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Sergio Garcia, to be a part of Major tournaments this year, with only 13 of them making an appearance at the 2024 Masters this year. Several LIV Golfers are playing on past champion or exemption status, which will be null in a few years.

DeChambeau won the 2020 US Open, which gave him a five-year exemption into the Masters and other majors. His exemption will end in 2025, which has become a cause of concern for him.

According to Mike McAllister, the editorial director for LIV Golf, DeChambeau said:

"I don't know what the future holds, but one thing I do know, if I do get invited, I'd gratefully come back after my exemption is up."

The removal of LIV Golf Players from the OWGR points board has seen them slip down the rankings. That, coupled with their ban from playing any PGA Tour tournaments has drastically reduced their chances of being a part of any of the major tournaments.

While the LIV Golf Series and the PGA Tour are trying to set up a framework agreement to rectify this, it is expected to take quite a long time for the agreement to reach fruition, causing frustration amongst golfers and fans alike.
