Thomas Pieters just gave LIV Golf fans something they haven't heard much of lately: raw, unfiltered honesty.

Appearing on the Dan on Golf Podcast this Monday, the 34-year-old Belgian golfer opened up about his time with the Saudi-backed league, his uncertain future, and what he'd do if the whole thing falls apart. It was a refreshing dose of transparency from a player who's been with LIV for over three years—and is still chasing that elusive first win.

Pieters first made waves on the DP World Tour over a decade ago. At just 24, he earned a spot on the European Ryder Cup team at Hazeltine, a career highlight that set the stage for six DP World Tour victories before he made the leap to LIV Golf in 2023. But now, with reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) may pull its financial backing after the 2026 season, Pieters isn't sugarcoating the reality.

"I'm definitely never going back to the PGA Tour," Pieters said bluntly. "I've never liked that life. And that's not me having a go at the PGA Tour, it's not for me. I tried it and I just wasn't happy there."

So what's next? Pieters admits he's not entirely sure. "If it (LIV) goes away, I'll probably try and play some on the European Tour or I don't know. I really don't know. I'm not fussed about it at this point because I feel like I still have a duty to focus on these next six, seven tournaments on LIV and then we'll see."

He even hinted at the possibility of walking away from professional golf entirely if the money dries up. "We got paid. We are getting paid. It was a week late. Some got it early, some got it a week late, but I'm not sure these guys check their bank accounts every two seconds."

Pieters also shed light on how little information the players actually receive from LIV's leadership. "I think whatever comes out officially from LIV is what we're getting half a day before it goes out. Scott (LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil) is telling us that he's going to a broader market and trying to fund this for next year. I guess it's a massive challenge. But we just have to wait and see."

In a world where LIV Golf players often stick to carefully crafted talking points, Pieters' candidness stands out. Whether he's eyeing a return to the DP World Tour or contemplating retirement, one thing is clear: if more LIV golfers followed his lead and spoke honestly about the league's uncertain future, they might just earn back some of the credibility that's been missing since day one.
