Bryson DeChambeau has opened up on his disappointing displays at the majors so far this season and insists he is ‘very optimistic’ regarding his LIV Golf future.
The 32-year-old two-time major winner, who previously had a strong major record in 2024 and 2025, has played in the two majors that have taken place so far on the major schedule this season but failed to make the cut at the Masters following an implosion on Augusta National’s 18th and the PGA Championship after carding rounds of 76 and 71 at Aronimink Golf Club.
“The weeks that I’ve been playing in major championships, I’ve been playing okay, just having nothing happen for me, and that’s kind of the game of golf,” DeChambeau said speaking to media ahead of LIV Golf Korea.
“The weeks before that I played really well going into them. I won two events going into The Masters and then finished third in Virginia, so it’s not like I’m playing bad golf.
“I think I’m putting some pressure on myself to play well in those tournaments, and that’s the reality.
“Nobody is perfect, and I’m still working hard to play as good as I possibly can. The year before I played really well in the majors, missed one cut there [2025 US Open], and it just happens. That’s golf, and ultimately excited for the opportunities I have moving forward.”
DeChambeau also provided an update on his LIV Golf future as he defended the circuit and stated he would be giving it all he can to help the circuit have a future in the long term.
In April, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) confirmed that it would be cutting its funding for the league at the end of the season.
In the aftermath, LIV revealed new board appointments to aid the process of finding new “long-term financial partners to support its transition from a foundational launch phase to a diversified, multi-partner investment model.”
Recently, DeChambeau expressed that he would be keen on growing his YouTube channel if LIV Golf were to shut down but has voiced his willingness to support wherever he can.
“We didn’t really see that [PIF ending funding] coming, but that’s okay,” DeChambeau added. “One door closes, another opens – I think that’s the way a lot of us are looking at it.
“I think we all have optimism that there is a business plan that makes sense for team golf. I’m very optimistic with the business plan of team golf compared to other models, in my opinion.
“But again, other models have worked, as well, so I’m not going to say that one is better than the other, but I do see value in what team golf can provide not only worldwide but also in grass rooting the game of golf.
“National support, team national support, city local support, we grass root ourselves there. There’s a couple ideas that we have — quite a few ideas that we have that could be interesting. We’ll see if investors like it or not. I’m giving all I can to make it happen, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t happen.”
