Bryson DeChambeau revealed he is involved in the lawsuit against the PGA Tour because it is refusing to pay him $1.75million he is owed through the Player Impact Program.
Speaking to ESPNahead of LIV Golf’s season finale in Miami, the 29-year-old said he had only been paid half of the $3.5million for finishing fifth in the PIP standings last year.
Two requirements existed in order for players to claim the second half of their money – to play an event they had not competed in for four seasons and make an appearance at a charity event.
DeChambeau fulfilled the first at the Valero Texas Open earlier this year. However, he claimed he has been prevented from taking part in a First Tee initiative with junior golfers which would allow him to pick up the cash.

“It’s not about the money; it’s about the principle,” DeChambeau said.
“It’s the way you deal with situations.”
“They said because you’re not in good standing, we’re not allowing you to do something to help out junior golf and junior golfers,” he added.
“To me, that’s childish. It just shows where they stand emotionally.

They will not allow him to do a First Tee appearance which would complete his PIP duties. #GrowTheGame
