Bryson DeChambeau says Tiger Woods has cut off all contact since he defected to LIV Golf: ‘I hope one day he’ll see the vision that we all have out here’

WINTER GARDEN, Fla. – To hear Bryson DeChambeau tell it, don’t expect Tiger Woods to be inviting him to join he and Justin Thomas for a practice round at the Masters next week.

One of the drawbacks for players who have defected to LIV Golf is that it has frayed relationships between friends – Rory McIlroy, who was a groomsman at Sergio Garcia’s wedding, has gone through a falling out with his Ryder Cup teammate, and Keegan Bradley has spoken about the awkwardness of his pal Brendan Steele leaving for seemingly richer pastures recently. DeChambeau, who had just finished practicing his putting ahead of the LIV Orlando event beginning Friday, suggested he’s received some blowback for taking the Saudi-backed league’s money from none other than Woods.

Conceding that he tended to be more of a lone wolf keeping to his team at tournaments, DeChambeau said, “I was always kind of a guy who did it myself so I didn’t have too much contact with too many players but we’re cordial. I’ve talked with Jordan (Spieth) numerous times at Dallas National, anybody that’s out there, Will (Zalatoris) I’ve had a couple of conversations with but no problems.”

Asked if anybody had cut him off, DeChambeau answered, “Yeah, definitely, I’m sure you can guess who.”

DeChambeau chuckled.
