Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Welcome back to the Crushers, the defending champions of LIV Golf 2023. We are joined by Paul Casey, "Ban-dito," Bryson DeChambeau, our captain, and our returning champ at LIV Golf Mayakoba, Charles Howell III. Welcome back, guys. I want to start off talking about your awesome season finish last year. Obviously the Crushers had an amazing year. You guys were team champs. What have you guys been doing in the off-season to maintain that momentum going into this year?

PAUL CASEY: The problem is you can't retain the momentum. That's a difficult thing. We're starting from scratch, so we feel like we've got to do it all again, and we're willing to do it all again, and we're ready.

What have we been doing? I've been, first and foremost, the first time maybe in my career I've ever had an off-season, which has been the most amazing thing, so being a dad and a parent and a husband first.

But an opportunity to reset the body and work out and work on the golf swing, phenomenal. I come in here extremely rusty, not necessarily on top of my game but very excited for the season ahead and looking forward to trying to add another championship and individual victories, as well, which I've got to catch up on these guys.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: It was a good off-season, like Paul said. We had a bunch of time. Yeah, I did some stuff to sort my body out. I had some health issues I wanted to deal with last year, got some great time off with the family. Recently launched my foundation in India. That's something that I've wanted to do.

It's been exciting. It's been filled with a lot of good stuff, and I've been also working on my game.

Like Paul said, you have to start all over again. Very happy about '23, but that was '23. This is '24. Everybody restarts on Friday. Everything goes back to scratch.

More motivated because you've got to start all over again, so it's fun.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Well, I did a lot of YouTube content. Tried to produce some content on there. I practiced my game like I usually would, built a couple clubs up, created a new iron set, built a new driver, got a 3-wood coming tomorrow. Did I rest? No, but it was a great off-season.

Q. How are you as captain going to maintain the momentum from last year?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Look, I've got a great team of guys that I trust and rely on. I don't worry about what they do because individually they do what they do best to make them play for the team the best way they possibly can. It's never going to be -- I'm never going to lead them in a way where you've got to do this. They're older and wiser than me. I let them do their thing, and they play golf incredibly well the way they play golf.

Just continuing to have some team chemistry, having team dinners, getting together, making sure everybody is as happy as they can be. Nothing is perfect, but we're all growing together and making sure that that positive sentiment for the team and for the league in general is moving forward in a great direction for everybody.

That was my goals for the off-season in a sense, and for this season coming forward, I'm just excited to showcase what we have again, what we continue to have, and I think what we'll have considering where Paul -- he's working on his game even right now.

Q. The grind never stops.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Who I know he is and what I know he can do for golf and whatnot in his own game, I'm going to be excited for this year.

Q. Charles, you are the returning champ. You won LIV Golf Mayakoba last year. This course obviously suits your game. Do you think you have a chance to go back-to-back this year?

CHARLES HOWELL III: Well, Mayakoba is always a great spot. It's a great way to start. Bit of a relaxing feel and vibe to it.

The golf course is tough. I think for the first week out, it gets everybody's attention. You've got some mangroves and hazards and wind out there. I think if this was say the fourth or fifth event in, you would see lower scores than you will it being the first event when guys' games are kind of back in and playing.

I certainly hope so. I hope I play well. I'd love for this team to be standing back up here winning again, to start the year off with a win.

But we'll see. We had success last year, so hopefully can this year.

Q. Obviously we announced some new teams and signings over the last couple days. We have an expansion team, Legion XIII. We know that Smash made some trades. They've got a really strong team. Who do you guys think is the team to beat this year since you are the defending champs?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: If I'm being straightforward, I think it's us. If we could just get out of our own way and continue to play like we have, we're tough to beat.

I would say the next team to beat would either be Smash or Legion as of right now. We'll see how it plays out. You never know what's to come, and the golf courses present different challenges for different teams, and I think we've got a pretty good chance this week.

PAUL CASEY: No, I don't like the question because last time -- we've got history. Last time we picked a team or Bryson picked a team was the Stingers and we got dusted by them in Doral.

I respect them all. You can rank them differently and they all have their different strengths. But I think us. Genuinely, if we play good golf, we're still the team to beat.

Q. Do you guys have any rivalries?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: It's coming.

Q. It'll just organically happen out there?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: You already know the staff what's happened in the past. If we're going head-to-head, it's going to create some drama for sure.

PAUL CASEY: I think the thing we'd like to actually see, and we can't control it and we don't necessarily want to be in it, but we'd love to see a team playoff this year.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Yes, 100 percent.

Q. Can you guys make that happen?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: No, we just want to win.

Q. Ban, you were knocking on the door last year so many times to your individual victory. Do you think that's going to happen for you this year? Are you ready to take on that challenge?

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: No, I was ready last year. I'm even more ready now, ready to win. No, I put some work in in the off-season on some of my processes, some of my -- not necessarily technique. I think Sunday afternoon is not about technique, it's about getting the job done.

It was fantastic for me to get in that position over and over again. I learned a lot. I made some mistakes. I was able to correct some of them before the year was out. Was very happy with how I played in Miami on Sunday. That was kind of me proving to myself that I can get it done on Sunday.

But even the last few weeks I've been working on some stuff mentally, more to do with like getting the job done.

Yeah, my goal at the beginning of the year is obviously, like Paul said, to catch up with these guys to the left of us. But more than anything else, it's getting into those same positions on Sunday afternoons because you don't win tournaments on Fridays. You have to get there 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday to have a realistic chance and then let it happen.

So I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I'm ready.

Q. Bryson, obviously last year was a breakout year for you on LIV. You had an incredible season. Do you feel going into this season that your game is at that same level?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Yeah, I mean, from an equipment perspective it's allowed me to play at the level that I'm at from last year.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: If you asked him a question a year ago on how he was feeling in Mexico when he was standing on every tee and he just saw mangroves, there's a big difference in 12 months where he's at right now.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: It was fireworks last year for me. Now it's a little bit more accuracy. I don't necessarily have the speed that I'd say I had last year, which is not a bad thing. As time goes on during the season I will get a little bit faster.

For me, my focus is just continue to play the way I did last year. I feel like I've got equipment that can suit me well and continue to tinker on that equipment to make it even better because, yes, do I want to win LIV events; do I want to win every single time I go out; do I want to win for our team and have our team win every week? For sure, but the majors are also pretty important to me, as well, and I want to be ready for those because I really haven't had all the equipment that I think I needed to play the best I possibly can.

We'll see, you never know what happens. Things change all the time. Currently as of right now, I feel really good, and I think it'll keep moving.

Q. Building on the question about the other teams, obviously you guys didn't make a roster move. Only three teams didn't during the off-season. I was wondering what you were thinking as you were seeing the other teams make the moves, trades, adding players, whatnot. Bryson, what was going through your mind as you saw all the other teams making moves?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Yeah, I think a lot of the team stuff is about chemistry and how well players work within the team. In regards to us, I think we do very well as a team. We're all unique in our own way. You wouldn't think that we would be four guys up here on a team, come from different corners of the world and have different personalities and different ways of going about things, but we just seem to mesh pretty well, and we let ourselves do our own things.

I think that's why we've developed a pretty decent friendship and become a really nice team out here.

Yeah, I think the chemistry is going to stay the same, and when I saw other teams, it was different. I don't know how that's going to be. I don't know, it's the first year where things really kind of traded and changed. We'll see.

Q. Ban, did anything catch your mind in terms of all the changes?

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: You know, I've learned something over the last 18 months of chaos. The less you try and find out, the better you are. The less you pay attention to what's going on, the better you are.

I think as a team that just won the team championship last year, you don't fix something that isn't broken. We guys functioned really, really well together. Like Bryson said, we're all very different from each other, but we have a lot of respect for each other, and not just for each other, for each other's games and how we go about doing it.

We do care about playing as a team. I think that's the most important thing. You could have four phenomenal players, but if that feeling isn't there, then the team doesn't really function as one. We do. I think Bryson knows that. He recognizes that. That's why we stick together.

Q. Paul, when did you stop celebrating the 2023 trophy and start focusing on '24?

PAUL CASEY: I mean, this game, you don't get a lot if you live in the past. That's pretty true just playing a round of golf. To be honest, it never has and probably never will last very long, any victory. That never takes away from those victories, whatever they are.

There's something very cool about this. We got together in Miami. We were still kind of giggling together, and you have those memories. I think that's the most important thing is you have those memories, and those memories can never be taken away, but you quickly move on to what's the next challenge, what's the next goal.

There's really no dwelling on it, like I said. The fact that we're '23 champions, certainly for everybody else it means nothing because they're going to be gunning for this year. So back to business.

Q. Charles, same question.

CHARLES HOWELL III: Yeah, I think this game is so hard, it's hard to really dwell much in the past. I think we all get along really well. I think we all know what makes each other tick and how to prepare and how to get the most out of it. Bryson is great on that, on letting guys do what they need to do to prepare, and actually I think that's a show of strength from a captain to do that, not try to over-control and micromanage everything.

Obviously last year we completed our goal, right? Win the team championship. It kind of feels like a lifetime ago, to be honest.

PAUL CASEY: We haven't had a celebratory dinner; can I just throw that out there so we've got witnesses. I think you should be on the hook for that.

CHARLES HOWELL III: I remember I think Paul was rushing to the airport that night. Listen, it's --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: See, they're throwing me under the bus already.

Q. Bryson, obviously there's a lot of fascination with what's in your bag. You obviously referenced it earlier. Can you go through the various changes?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Nah, not yet.

PAUL CASEY: You don't want to ask him that question in depth.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: There's literally no need. It'll get out soon enough.

PAUL CASEY: It's technical.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: There's no need for anybody else to really know.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Can I give them a spoiler? There's bulge and roll.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: There's no roll. There's bulge. A lot of bulge. A lot of bulge.

Q. What do you make of Hatton joining LIV? What's he going to add? You might know him better than the rest.

PAUL CASEY: He's been a Ryder Cup partner of mine. What is he going to add? Some fire. He's a brilliant golfer. He has been for the longest time, since he popped up on the scene in Europe. We've seen his victories around the world.

One of the best putters I've ever seen, best green readers. Just has an ability to get things done.

You start to look at Johnny, Johnny and I got some good work in today, and we went through it and we're like, it's not getting any easier out here. The additions of Jon -- I'm just picking on two, but my Ryder Cup sort of teammates, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, and you go through the list of how many major champions are out here, the strength of field are off the charts, so to add Tyrrell to that mix, I've got to add some -- my focus issue is to get a victory, an individual victory. Sorry, no offense; that will help the team, just so you know, Bryson. But it's a tall task.

Q. Do we want to have the mics on when he's --

PAUL CASEY: No, you might want a five-second delay.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: It might be good for CW, I don't know.

PAUL CASEY: The only match we played together -- how many matches we play together? Maybe a couple in Paris. But I love him. He's a great character, and he's great off the golf course, as well. He's a wonderful addition.

Q. Bryson, I'm sure you're aware of the news that came out this morning with the TOUR and SSG. You've pretty recently been fairly confident that a deal is going to get done that includes the PIF. I'm just curious if that changes your mind in any way, or do you think it enhances it? What's your feeling on where we are right now and how close that might be?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Look, I don't know exactly how it's all going to shake out, when it's all said and done. I don't know what it really means for the PIF's position in it.

What I can say is that any investment into the game of golf is gigantic, especially on their side. You see what we're doing in communities on our side and continuing to grow with the expansion of the new team and addition of new players, new talent out here. They're incredible players.

You're just going to see both entities continue to grow, and I hope at some point we'll come back together. It needs to happen. I hope people can just put down their weapons and come to the table and figure it out because that's what's good for the game of golf and for fans in general. But like I said, any additional capital going into the game of golf is always positive. I've always said that.

It may not be exactly what we all think it should be, but as time goes on, I think things will settle down in a positive way for both.

Q. Are you afraid that this pushes that timeline back a little bit more, or do you see that it has to happen sooner than that?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I have no idea what it looks like moving forward, if it's going to push it back or if it even speeds it up. We don't know. The top execs over at the PGA Tour and what the PIF is doing and what the top execs at LIV are doing, they're all functioning independently for the most part, and I think we're just going to continue down our own roads, and how it all integrates and comes together is something to be seen with the PIF and their negotiations with the Tour and vice versa with the SSG and vice versa.

I know that's nothing. What I'm giving you is pretty much nothing, but that is exactly all I know, which is nothing.

Q. Yesterday Rory said he thinks they should be able to come back without penalty. I don't know what "come back" means, but I don't know how you feel about that?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I appreciate the sentiment that he is providing out to the public now. I think his words are from a much more neutral position as the likes of us over here at LIV have been since day one.

I think it's positive, what he's saying now, and I appreciate that.

Q. Going back to when he was talking about maybe coming back to the Ryder Cup, what was your reaction to that, thinking you guys might get another chance to play in that event?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: The Ryder Cup is more than just being a part of the PGA TOUR or LIV. I think it's above and beyond that. I think we need to have the best players playing in that field to continue to have that competitive spirit and that environment. I think it's what needs to happen.

That's kind of my perspective on that, and I think it's great that he's talking in that line.

Q. Paul, earlier you mentioned when you guys were giggling talking about last year. When you think back to Doral last year when you won the championship, what do you take away from that week?

PAUL CASEY: I've got two thoughts on that. One, that was one of the most pressure-filled rounds of golf I've played maybe ever. Reason being I was struggling, but I've got to look after -- I'm trying to contribute to these amazing guys, as well. I've got responsibility, which you don't often have -- we mentioned Ryder Cup. That's match play; it's different. It's making an 8 at Ryder Cup doesn't quite have the consequences it does when you're playing in a LIV event.

The second thought and the memory I have, and I'll never forget this, is walking up to my final hole, which was the 2nd, and I see Bryson on the front of the 2nd green 140 yards in the wrong direction.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: 120, yeah.

PAUL CASEY: Over the back of the 16th green. And you made birdie.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I did, yeah, it was a nice 15-footer.

PAUL CASEY: He's such an idiot, isn't he. Bulge and roll isn't going to fix that.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: No, that was a pull. I pulled that one. That was my fault.

PAUL CASEY: Genuinely, Ban and Chucky played -- actually all three of you played amazing golf. But it was some of the most tense golf I've ever played, and that will always stay with me.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I remember walking past him as he hits his chip shot short, seven feet short, and he's got that for par, and he's not really finishing off the way he knows he can finish off, and I can just feel the tension off of him like there's steam coming off of his head. I'm walking past him going, I've got this 120-yard shot over the second green, over the grandstands, and he's pissed off already.

PAUL CASEY: Not pissed off, I'm just trying not to let you guys down.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Well, that's the point. Just wanting to do well. I think just the vibes were so tense in that moment that it's tough to recreate that in other scenarios, and I think having that opportunity with the Ryder Cup is going to be special again if that ever does get worked out.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I think the memories were more from Miami '22 because it was a really tough Saturday to swallow. All four of us, we were just like, what just happened; this is not going to script. We're playing better than this.

You can't control a lot of results.

I think Miami '23 was in large part thanks to Miami '22. I think the four of us were so upset, pissed off, motivated, however you want to word it.

I still remember one week before Miami, I had just played Chicago, played really well, flown all the way across the world to play the Asian Games in China, and my body was toast. I got to Jeddah and I still remember Paul saying, Ban, it's okay, get through this week, next week is more important; just make sure we're all ready for that.

The entire sentiment leading into Miami was once we get there, we are getting it done; there's no two ways about it. That's why the Sunday was special, because we just stepped up to the plate whether you had your game or you didn't. You just got it done.

Bryson showcased that coming down the stretch. Paul did. The same hole that Bryson mentioned, he made a seven-footer, Thomas Pieters missed a ten-footer. That's a two-shot difference. Completely different scenario on 18 where Bubba almost drained his.

Every single shot mattered. Every single person in every group mattered.

To come together as a team and just get it done was special. The whole thing is just a memory. All of it leading into it and the whole week itself.

CHARLES HOWELL III: My memory is the week of golf these two guys played, what Ban and Bryson shot that day. That golf course was hard, and the whole season really came down to 18 holes, and the tournaments we had won, the high finishes, really didn't matter all of a sudden until that one day, and man, the rounds of golf those two guys played, that's my memory. It was incredible.

Q. We've seen LIV take steps forward each and every year. As it enters year three here, year two of the LIV League, what would you want to see changed or improved going forward this year and into next year for '24 and '25?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I think as a captain, there's a lot of conversations being had amongst the captains and amongst LIV executives of what to improve and how to improve it. Things don't always move as quickly as they should, but considering 22 events in, starting a whole new league, acquiring all the players that we have, and also playing and impacting the communities that we have in the unique manner that we have, I don't know how else to say it, but we've done a pretty dang good job so far, and we're going to continue to improve, and it's going to take time. It's year three.

Other organizations have been around for decades and decades and had institutionalized positions and run-throughs of those positions. We're just trying to find the right people to fill the requirements and roles that we need at the top, and once that gets situated, we're going to see this organization explode more than what it already has.

Q. Care to share what any of those conversations are like or what some of those conversations are about?

PAUL CASEY: No. Just say no.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Not really. I think --

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: That's why we're a team.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: What I can say is that we do have discussions that -- we're able to make decisions a lot faster in this new league. In LIV Golf we're able to do things a little bit differently and able to make decisions a little bit quicker than most, and that's what I think is so special and unique about what us captains can do together and hear from our players and bring up to the LIV execs.

Q. Charles and Paul, playing for this league, what is the meaning or the World Ranking in your career?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: The World Ranking. Charles, you want to go first on that one?

CHARLES HOWELL III: No, you go first.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Okay. I think at some point in time, the World Ranking piece needs to be figured out. We're some of the best players in the world that aren't getting points. I don't know how else to say it other than there's a system in place that isn't allowing us to gain points, and we're playing amongst some of the best players in the world. They've figured out how to create points for other tours. They need to figure out how to create points for us.

CHARLES HOWELL III: I agree. Hey, listen, we were looking earlier at the field here, of the players in this field, and it really is incredible. It really is. A lot of guys you've even forgotten how good these fields are. Yes, this tour deserves World Ranking points. I think they'll figure it out. If not that, they'll figure out some sort of system.

But yes, and maybe not even for me and my age and my generation but for the next wave of people that come to LIV, they deserve World Ranking points --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Or some way to get into the majors, as well.

CHARLES HOWELL III: Absolutely correct.

Q. What do you expect from Mexico, and what are your expectations with Jon Rahm's debut in LIV Golf?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Jon Rahm is an incredible addition. He's one of the best players in the world, if not the best player in the world at certain points in time. I certainly think as we continue to grow and expand, we went to 13 teams -- we've gone to 13 teams now. We've added a team and also continue to add other players like Adrian Meronk, Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt, those additions are only showcasing how strong this tour this and this league is. Jon Rahm is going to be a tremendous asset to us.

What he's going to be able to provide the communities and the public from the entertainment aspect of it will only be positive for years to come, and I think he's going to be able to grow his team nicely as time moves on, as well.

It's a positive on all fronts, and you're also going to see what he does back in his communities. To grow those communities is going to be impactful for that area, as well, because I've heard what he's wanting to do a little bit, and it's awesome.

Q. As a player, as a team, what do you expect from Mexico?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Great weather, great people, awesome food, amazing food, and the beach.

CHARLES HOWELL III: Tequila.

Q. There are rumors that India could host the final of the LIV Tour. What do you think about that?

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Well, if it does happen, it would be fantastic, but this is the first I'm hearing of it. Like I said about 10 minutes ago, I don't listen or read anything about what's going on. I'll wait for it to happen because I've learned in the last two years that speculation is only going to give you an upset stomach. Just carry on and let things happen.

But about having a LIV event in India, I've been trying. I've spoken to a few different people. There were some conversations -- there are some conversations, but honestly, I couldn't tell you when or if we're going to have it, but I do sure hope that we go play in my home country. It would mean a lot. It would be a huge, huge, huge thing to have this field play in a country like India.

We've seen the effect it's had in Australia and Thailand. We're going to go to Hong Kong. I'm really excited. These are the kind of countries where this kind of a field needs to go and play. It's going to make a much bigger impact than just isolating to a certain other part of the world.

Q. Charles, you've been flying to Mexico to impart some clinics. Can you tell us a little bit about that, please?

CHARLES HOWELL III: Yeah, so obviously Mexico is a country I love and have spent a lot of time here. Was lucky as a kid to travel here on vacation, and moved my foundation to Mexico.

Yeah, so I've been throughout Mexico doing some clinics and some corporate outings and events, and all the money and the charity dollars will stay in Mexico. I love it. I'm learning Spanish slowly.

It's been great. We've been to a few places in Mexico City, been to Guadalajara, and we'll continue to do that and grow it better as we go.

Q. What's the foundation about?

CHARLES HOWELL III: So a few tenets; obviously will have a golf aspect to it, as well, but then also a humanitarian aspect of it with childhood cancer being one of those, and we're looking for a third, probably in the education forum.

Q. Why did you choose to have here your foundation?

CHARLES HOWELL III: I've always loved Mexico. I've always loved coming down here. The people, the culture has been something that's been very welcoming, very open.

I just love to do it. I felt I could make a bigger impact in Mexico than elsewhere. Listen, it's something I've enjoyed doing. I'm at that part of my career - I'm 44 now - so I have time to give back from what the game has given more than I ever deserved. We're just starting it out, and it should be fun.

Q. I'm curious, now I've seen all of you wearing the uniforms, the picture of all the players, most of them are wearing team uniforms. As a team, I can also see that your pants is not the same brand. Are you looking for more sponsors --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: They're the same brand.

Q. Are you looking for more sponsors, brands, to wear in your shirts personally, or as a team are you looking for more sponsors?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Not at all. We want to just keep everything blank. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Yes, we're looking for as many sponsors as we can get that fit in placement on the shirts and hats and whatnot. We're at an inflection point right now, and I think shortly we'll be able to commercialize in a really cool way.

Q. The merchandising for the teams, of course last year I remember all the caps went full at the shop. How much have you seen that you have --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Sold? Yeah, there's been a lot of traction. Sometimes we can't fill it, meaning it's sold out, and a few stops we've been around, but we're working to increase our merchandise department and be able to sell a lot more product globally, as well.

One place we're working on is an India. We're trying to get stuff in India. It's just working with partners and people that want to grow the game globally and be a part of it globally, as well.

Q. Do you think other players will start wearing some brands? We are seeing Nike will not sponsor --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Yeah, I think you're actually asking a bigger question. I think it's just about the game in general. I think as the merger gets figured out, as the placements of the League and the Tour get figured out, where they're going to go, we're going to be able to commercialize more effectively because people have far-end sights for where these leagues and tours are going to be.

PAUL CASEY: I can speak on behalf of Nike. I was with Nike for 18 years and I still have a relationship. I still wear their footwear and their glove. They're not getting out of golf. But everything is, I guess, going through almost like an audit. That's probably the best way of putting it.

Q. Do you have something that you can sponsor for LIV Golf?

PAUL CASEY: That's a question for Nike, but they're very savvy, and I'm sure they're doing their due diligence.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Just like every sponsor is. They're all trying to figure it out.

Q. Bryson, you became notorious last year for your matches that you did. Do you have any matches planned this year with any other teams or LIV players?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I did one with Paige Spiranac a little while ago. That's coming out here soon. That'll be a "Break 50." That'll be fun. I'm planning on one with a couple big hitters out here.

Q. Care to share?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: It's in the works. We haven't filmed it yet, but we're in talks of doing it, and we're probably going to do a Phil Mickelson one, Part 2. They've got one up on us. Probably Jon Rahm and a few others this year would be a lot of fun. TBD and TBC.

THE MODERATOR: Guys, congratulations and welcome back.
