The discussions occurred while DeChambeau competed in LIV’s Mexico City event, as questions grew about the league’s long-term direction.
As one of LIV’s biggest stars and a premier commercial asset, DeChambeau’s status is pivotal to the circuit’s plan moving forward.
Industry speculation has pegged a potential new deal at around $500 million, with the player’s substantial YouTube audience strengthening his negotiating position.
The contract with LIV is reported to be in its final year, underscoring the significance of these negotiations for both sides.
DeChambeau missed the Masters cut, then withdrew from the final round in Mexico City due to a wrist issue, with plans to be evaluated ahead of LIV Virginia.
In a week that included sponsor and investor meetings and public statements about the league’s finances, LIV leadership indicated that changes may be coming as it continues to shape a sustainable business model ahead of the PGA Championship.
