Bryson DeChambeau missed his third consecutive cut this season at Shinnecock Hills.

What happened?

He opened with an even par 70 on Thursday, but on Friday, he made back-to-back double bogeys on the third and fourth holes.

A 5-over-75 left him two shots outside the cut line, and he had to head home early.

Why it matters for Bryson DeChambeau

ESPN analyst Mark Schlabach said DeChambeau is the most polarizing figure on the PGA Tour, with many players having memorized his negative comments about the tour.

This could lead to a big penalty if he tries to return to the tour.

What comes next?

DeChambeau's contract with LIV Golf is ending this year, and if the breakaway league ceases to exist, he may have to return to the PGA Tour.

However, his recent performances have not made a strong case for his return.

He was among the LIV Golf players who joined an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in 2020.

DeChambeau refused to join the PGA Tour's Returning Member Program in January this year.

He recently commented that the PGA Tour "isn't doing great," citing reduced field sizes and staff cuts.

DeChambeau also called out the PGA Tour for not being open with their media rights.

He mentioned that he was not allowed to film videos with content creators during PGA Tour events.

DeChambeau has considered growing his YouTube channel if LIV Golf fails, but fans have been skeptical about his ability to succeed without his professional golf career.

On the Katie Miller Podcast, DeChambeau discussed his potential plans if LIV Golf ceases to exist.

He finished 2nd at the 2026 Masters Tournament.

DeChambeau's performance at Shinnecock Hills reflected a wider struggle for LIV Golf, which is fighting to stay alive beyond the 2026 season.

DeChambeau's comments about the PGA Tour have sparked controversy, with many players and fans criticizing his views.

The PGA Tour has not commented on DeChambeau's potential return, but it is clear that he faces an uphill battle to regain the trust of his fellow players and the tour itself.

DeChambeau's future in golf remains uncertain, with many questions surrounding his potential return to the PGA Tour or his plans if LIV Golf fails.
