Bryson DeChambeau has spoken out about his disappointing major form in 2026. On 27 June, DeChambeau posted a video on his YouTube channel addressing his struggles.
What happened?
DeChambeau missed cuts at The Masters, PGA Championship, and U.S. Open, despite being expected to mount strong challenges for his third major title.
He shot a 76 in the opening round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, which ultimately proved too much to recover from.
DeChambeau led an all-star cast of former champions who fell short at the halfway stage at Shinnecock Hills in the U.S. Open.
Why it matters for Bryson DeChambeau
DeChambeau's poor form has coincided with growing uncertainty around the future of LIV Golf, which will no longer be backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund at the end of the season.
DeChambeau has been heavily involved in efforts to save LIV by meeting with potential investors and delivering pitches alongside their under-pressure CEO, Scott O'Neil.
What comes next?
DeChambeau insists that LIV Golf's uncertain future and his enthusiasm for content creation have not played a part in his poor showings at the men's majors in 2026.
He claims to have been working harder on his game this past year than in the past three or four years, focusing on understanding his golf swing.
DeChambeau referenced the 12-under par 58 he shot at LIV Golf Greenbrier in August 2023, saying he has not figured out how to replicate that form.
He will look to improve his iron play and putting speed to get back to his best form.
DeChambeau's next move will be to put one foot in front of the other and keep going, as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing run of results.
