LIV golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, no longer holds privileges on the PGA Tour. His name was missing from the recent Player Impact Program (PIP) list due to the suspension of his account earlier this year. However, DeChambeau has revealed he is still due to receive his earlier PIP prize money from the PGA Tour, allegedly due to his present circumstances.

Bryson DeChambeau claims he’s still waiting to receive PIP money
In a chat with host, Emma Carpenter on the recent episode of ‘5 Clubs Conversation’, DeChambeau detailed his misery regarding PIP money. The 2020 U.S. Open winner was talking about his lawsuit against the PGA Tour alongside other rebel golfers, which has become a never-ending conflict amongst golf circuits.
“But the reason why I’m still in it is because, and I’ll just say it here, I may have said it on SportsCenter as well. They haven’t paid me the rest of my PIP money that I earned,” he said. “Last year, I was fifth on the list. And it was 3 million and the 175. Half of it.”
DeChambeau further revealed that there were certain requirements to be fulfilled before the arrival of the PIP prize money. “You have to complete two obligations, which is playing a PGA Tour event they haven’t played in four years, which is the Valero, playing the Bolero. And then the other is completing, it was a junior, it was a junior golf thing. It was an outing first to Dallas event.”

However, DeChambeau’s exit from the PGA Tour resulted in implications to the schedule, which delayed his PIP sum. “And that was scheduled in November. And this was done literally last year. And so there was no opportunity to change it. They didn’t want me to change at all. And they said because you’re not in good standing,” he bemoaned.
What will DeChambeau do with his PIP money?
In the same segment, DeChambeau proudly revealed his intentions of what he was planning with the PIP money. “So for me, it’s not about the money. I have pledged to give it to junior golfers to Junior Golf foundations, whether it’s in Texas, and in California,” he said. “I want that money to go somewhere good.”
DeChambeau grew up in Modesto, California, and learned his first golf lessons in the sunny neighborhood. He now lives in Texas, which is why he picked the two locations to fund his PIP money.
