According to the LIV deal, DeChambeau will have to give the tour access to all his media rights. This will allow LIV Golf to use his image as and when required. Along with that, DeChambeau will not be able to skip any tournaments in the league. He will also have to wear his LIV Golf apparel along with the LIV logo. However, his roles and responsibilities also keep him from working for the league outside the field. DeChambeau will also be bound to convince other players to join the breakaway circuit.
