Nov 10 (Reuters) - BrysonDeChambeau ⁠has few avenues left after LIV Golf's collapse, ⁠said Masters champion Rory McIlroy, who added ‌he would welcome the interest the American could generate on the DP World Tour.

• DeChambeau's decision to leave the PGA Tour ​for the Saudi-backed circuit four years ⁠ago marked one ⁠of the highest-profile defections in an acrimonious, multiyear saga ⁠that engulfed ‌the sport

• LIV Golf's financing plan collapsed earlier this month and the circuit ⁠said it would wind down operations after the ​Saudi Public ‌Investment Fund announced it would cut funding

• "I think ⁠a name ​like Bryson DeChambeau and everything he brings with him, good and bad, he brings eyeballs, which is a ⁠good thing for tournaments," McIlroy ​told reporters onTuesday

• "Honestly, I'm certainly not in his shoes, and nor would I ever want to be, but ⁠it doesn't seem like he's got many options, you know, if he wants to play competitive golf," he said

• Twice US Open champion DeChambeau, 33,spoke publicly ​for the first time on ⁠LIV's demise this week, saying he would approach the ​next stage of his career ‌with "humility and respect" after the ​circuit announced plans to liquidate.
