The winds of change are blowing through professional golf, and some of LIV Golf's biggest names might be looking for a way back to the PGA Tour. With the Saudi Public Investment Fund reportedly pulling support for next season, stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are exploring their options—but the path home may not be as straightforward as they'd hope.
DeChambeau has been spotted in discussions with PGA Tour officials, but the Tour isn't offering him—or others seeking a return—the same deal that Brooks Koepka received earlier this year. Koepka's comeback came with specific conditions: a $5 million charitable donation and an agreement to forgo sponsor exemptions into Signature Events and FedEx Cup bonus money. That one-time offer was also extended to DeChambeau, Rahm, and Cameron Smith, but none of them accepted by the deadline.
Now, with LIV's future uncertain, the question is whether the Tour should revisit that offer. World number three Cameron Young, who has emerged as one of the PGA Tour's brightest stars with an incredible 2026 season—including wins at The Players Championship and The Cadillac Championship, plus a thrilling duel with Rory McIlroy at The Masters—weighed in on the debate during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
"I feel like it's a little bit tricky," Young said. "I think it's been great to have Brooks back. He's a fan favorite. He's a great golfer. Great major championship player. So, I'm happy to have him back. I think it's good for the PGA Tour. I think it's good for the game to get to see him more."
But Young noted that the circumstances have changed. "The Tour did have the system that they put in place for him. They had the opportunity this January for some of those guys, a select few, to come back. And Brooks was the only one to take that opportunity. So now, I mean, it's not up to me, but I think the PGA Tour, I imagine, they will find a way for some of those guys to come back, but I don't know if it will be as simple as that."
For fans and players alike, the saga continues to unfold—and the next chapter promises to be just as compelling as the last.
