The breakaway league said last week it was shutting down operations after lead investors BC Partners pulled out because a majority of players had not signed up for LIV Golf 2.0.

Several LIV stars, including Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, have already confirmed that they will play on the European Tour next year.

DeChambeau has not committed to anything and is one of the players seeking to bring BC Partners back to the negotiation table.
