Bryson DeChambeau, 'focused on getting myself healthy and competing again soon,' reiterates commitment to PGA Tour

The Super Golf League, which is being backed by Saudi Arabian money and fronted by Greg Norman, was dealt a pair of serious blows Sunday when two of golf's biggest stars believed to be connected to the proposed breakaway circuit pledged their support to the PGA Tour.

Two-time major champion Dustin Johnson and 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau both released statements in which they said they would continue playing on the PGA Tour.

«While there has been a lot of speculation surrounding my support for another tour, I want to make it very clear that as long as the best players in the world are playing the PGA Tour, so will I,» DeChambeau said in a statement released on social media. «As of now, I am focused on getting myself healthy and competing again soon. I appreciate all the support.»

Earlier on Sunday, the PGA Tour released a statement from Johnson, the 2016 U.S. Open and 2020 Masters champion, in which he said he wasn't leaving.

«Over the past several months, there has been a great deal of speculation about an alternative tour; much of which seems to have included me and my future in professional golf,» Johnson said in the statement. «I feel it is now time to put such speculation to rest. I am fully committed to the PGA Tour.»

With Johnson deciding to stay put, the top eight players in the current Official World Golf Ranking have pledged their loyalty to the PGA Tour: Spain's Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Norway's Viktor Hovland, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas.

Other top players, including Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris, have also said they're not leaving.
