Following Rory McIlroy's comments on the PGA Tour-LIV Golf deal, Bryson DeChambeau has also shared his take on the deal's status. The two-time US Open champion said that while he wished something positive would happen soon, he didn't see it happening in the immediate future.
A couple of years ago, LIV and the PGA Tour announced that they would come together under a unified framework. However, both parties haven't come to a common understanding despite so much time passing. Besides, LIV has continued signing players from the PGA Tour, making a further dent in the mutual understanding.
Recently, Rory McIlroy said that it would be difficult for the two parties to unify. DeChambeau also expressed similar views in his recent interview.

"Man, I wish something major would happen, but I don’t think it’s going to in the immediate future," he said as per Fox News. "I think there are too many wants on both sides and not enough gives on the other. We're just too far apart on a lot of things. It’s going to take some time, but ultimately, I do think the game of golf will grow internationally."
"I won’t speak for anybody, but I think there will be improvements for the game as time goes on," he added. "It's positive disruption, and it’ll take time to let the water settle and make a perfect scenario where we all come back together. Ultimately, I think it’ll be good for the game over time."
What Rory McIlroy said about the LIV Golf-PGA Tour deal
Last week, Rory McIlroy was at the CNBC CEO Council Forum, where he shared his views on the LIV Golf-PGA Tour's deal status.
"I think for golf in general it would be better if there was unification," he said. "but I just think with what’s happened over the last few years, it’s just going to be very difficult to be able to do that."
Over the years, a lot of developments have happened in the process of LIV and PGA Tour unification. Initially, Rory McIlroy was the unofficial spokesperson for the PGA Tour and was in attacking mode against the Saudi circuit. However, since the unification announcement, he changed his stance and also took a backseat from the PGA Tour Policy board.
The PGA Tour then invited new investors, and SSG invested over $3 billion last year. It also appointed Brian Rolapp as CEO, while LIV had Scott O'Neil replacing Greg Norman. O'Neil also revealed that he had talked to Rolapp and both had a 'common view' on the future of professional golf.
