The PGA could be at risk of losing one of its most entertaining and controversial golfers. Recent rumors have emerged regarding the Saudi Golf Super League offering significant and lucrative deals to PGA players in order to join the upstart league. Well, the latest reports on the topic suggest that Bryson DeChambeau is one of the golfers the Saudi League is hoping to poach, and he is reported to have received an insanely lucrative offer in the nine-figure range to become the face of the Saudi Golf Super League, via Golf Monthly.

The offer rumored to be on the table for DeChambeau is said to be worth a staggering $135,000,000 (£100,000,000). The offer from the Saudi Super League would be worth as much as four times what DeChambeau has made in career earnings throughout his tenure in the PGA. DeChambeau has reportedly pocketed as much as $26.1 million in his golf career, so a move to the Saudi League would be a massive financial boost for the 28-year-old.
After ending 2021 as the No. 5 ranked golfer in the world, DeChambeau currently finds himself as the No. 9 men's golfer, via the Official World Golf Ranking.
DeChambeau is far from the only premier golfer to have received a lucrative offer from the upstart Saudi league. Phil Mickelson alleged on Wednesday that “pretty much everyone” on the PGA Tour's Top 100 had been approached by the league. World No. 59 ranked golfer Ian Poulter was reportedly offered as much as $30 million to join the league, though he has yet to make a decision regarding his future.
While it seems as if the Saudi league is targeting as many top golfers as they can, their highly lucrative offer to DeChambeau shows just how serious they are about making him the poster boy of their organization.
