Chief Executive Greg Norman called DeChambeau an exciting addition to the series because he is “passionate and innovative in his approach and committed to pushing the boundaries”. “He’s not afraid to think outside the box and supports our mission of doing things differently to grow our game,” continued Norman to bbc.com. This however means that he too will face disciplinary action from the PGA Tour.
It has been reported that the golfer has been paid $100 million by the Saudi backed series to attend. DeChambeau however is alright at the moment because of his US Open victory, which earned him a 10-year exemption for that event. He also has a five-year exemptions for the Open Championship, Masters and US PGA Championship.
