Bryson DeChambeau won the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club in 2020 and signed a sponsor deal with Dan Gilbert's Rocket Mortgage last year.

Now, the relationship is over.

Gilbert's company has cut ties with DeChambeau because of his decision to join the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, Crain's Detroit business reports.
