Finding Out About Bryson’s LIV Money
Okay, so I got curious the other day about Bryson DeChambeau and his whole move to LIV Golf. You hear these wild numbers thrown around, and I just wanted to figure out, for myself, what the deal actually was. How much cash did he really pocket?
First thing I did, obviously, was hop onto my computer. I opened up a search engine, you know, the usual suspect. I started typing things in like “Bryson DeChambeau LIV contract amount” and “how much money DeChambeau LIV deal”. Pretty straightforward stuff.
Man, the results were all over the place initially. Lots of sports news sites, golf blogs, even some financial news places were talking about it. It wasn’t like there was one official press release with the exact number pinned to the top. That would’ve been too easy, right?
So, I started clicking through a few articles. Reading what different reporters and insiders were saying. A lot of them were throwing around the term “nine figures”. That obviously means $100 million or more. That popped up quite a bit.
Then I saw more specific numbers being reported. Some sources were saying the deal was worth around $125 million. I saw that number mentioned in a few different places, often citing unnamed sources close to the deal or whatever. Another figure I saw, maybe a bit less frequently, was just over $100 million.
It seems like these LIV contracts aren’t always just a simple paycheck either. Reading between the lines, it sounded like these deals often include:
- A big chunk of guaranteed money upfront.
- Maybe performance bonuses on top of that.
- Sometimes even a stake or ownership in the team he plays for.
So, trying to nail down one single number is tough. LIV doesn’t exactly publish the contracts, and neither does Bryson. It’s all kept pretty quiet, officially.
After poking around for a while, reading different takes, my takeaway was this: nobody outside the deal knows the exact figure down to the last dollar. But the general consensus, the number most reports seem to agree on or hover around, is north of $100 million, likely in the $125 million ballpark, guaranteed. It’s a staggering amount of money, however you slice it. It definitely answered my initial curiosity – the guy got paid a fortune to make the switch.
