Story summary

Rory McIlroy, a six-time major winner, stated that Bryson DeChambeau's future in competitive golf seems limited following the collapse of LIV Golf. Speaking at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai on November 10, 2026, McIlroy noted that while adding DeChambeau to the DP World Tour would increase tournament visibility, it appears the American has few viable options left for playing competitive golf in 2027. McIlroy highlighted that DeChambeau can apply for DP World Tour membership due to his status as a recent major champion but stressed that this might be one of the 33-year-old's last remaining choices. The two golfers have a history, including their rivalry at the 2024 US Open and the 2025 Masters. DeChambeau's path back to the PGA Tour for 2028 remains uncertain beyond this route.

Narrative

"Getting back to a place where I played, I played well and I had a lot of success, even last year in the play-off with Matt, it's been a course that's been very good to me over the years, and I have a lot of experience on it and a lot of experience up at the top end of the leaderboard." An eighth Race to Dubai title would draw McIlroy alongside Colin Montgomerie, who won seven straight European Tour Order of Merit titles in the 1990s before adding an eighth in 2005. With McIlroy chasing a fifth successive Race to Dubai title, he spoke about how proud he is of the "consistency" and "longevity" he has shown in his career.
