LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau is in India for the International Series event, and he believes the country could be a potential host for a Saudi-backed circuit event in the future. However, he had a suggestion for some changes to the course.
On Sunday, January 31, DeChambeau carded an even-par 72 to finish at 1-under par after 36 holes. His round featured three birdies and three bogeys.
Following the round, Bryson DeChambeau was asked for his thoughts on India as a potential LIV Golf venue.
"I think it'd be an interesting option for sure," he told Sportskeeda. "I think there is potential for this golf course to host a LIV event. A couple of things need to be changed on the greens, but other than that, it's a really cool test of golf."
Notably, the US Open champion has always been an advocate for promoting the game in countries like India and has spoken about his interest in growing the game.
