A month out, the World Cup is mired in controversy over concern over eye-watering ticket prices and transport costs, travel bans, war, peace prizes and the USMNT's performances.

Bryson DeChambeau could be heading back to the PGA Tour, and the timing couldn't be more interesting.The two-time US Open champion's deal with LIV Golf runs out at the end of this year.What makes this particularly significant is that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is reportedly pulling its financial backing from the breakaway league after this season.It's a perfect storm for a potential return, and DeChambeau has clearly been exploring his options.His management team sat down with PGA Tour officials during The Masters to talk through what a comeback might look like.DeChambeau himself has said that players will ultimately decide whether he's allowed back. That's where things get complicated.The executives at PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach are apparently keen on the idea. They reckon bringing DeChambeau back would make for a better product overall.But here's the thing the players themselves aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat.Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard put it rather bluntly on the Golf Channel Podcast: "Bryson DeChambeau's own words are, and one of the lines in the sand that he's drawing is he comes back to the PGA Tour only if 'they', players, 'want me back'."The answer to that, don't ask a question you don't want an answer to, is essentially going to be the lead to my story. Because trust me, no-one really wants you back."The reasons? His lawsuit against the tour and years of public criticism haven't been forgotten.DeChambeau has done a brilliant job reinventing himself over the past five years, and his time with LIV has actually played a big part in that transformation.He's become one of golf's most popular figures these days. But LIV's future remains deeply uncertain, even with stars like DeChambeau and Jon Rahm on the roster.The breakaway league simply hasn't managed to shift the balance of power in professional golf.Walking away now would feel like admitting defeat, and that's not easy for someone who's poured so much into LIV since leaving the PGA Tour in 2022.He might well feel obligated to give the league every chance to find its footing before making any final decisions.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

But those numbers are going to go out the window this year and in the coming years presumably. If 64 matches were played in 2022 in Qatar, and 172 goals were scored, that's about 3.583 goals per match. With 104 matches taking place in 2026, if that same goals-per-match rate keeps up, that's about 373 goals scored. In terms of per country, Brazil has the most goals scored with 237, followed by Germany (232), Argetina (152), France (136) and Italy (128). The USA is at 40.
