Bryson DeChambeau has enjoyed his golf since making the switch to LIV Golf, where he has been one of the standout players.

DeChambeau joined LIV Golf in 2022, and this season finished in third place in the individual championship.

He claimed his only win at LIV Golf Korea, with Jon Rahm clinching the individual title despite not winning any events.

In contrast, Joaquin Niemann finished second in the standings despite winning five times throughout the season.

The trio are certain to contend once more in the 2026 LIV Golf season, during which DeChambeau is set to continue one of his trends when putting.

He took on YouTube star Grant Horvat in a match at Albany Golf Club, in which he confirmed the reason why he’s started taking the pin out when putting after joining LIV.

DeChambeau explained simply: “They’re too thick. If I was on the PGA Tour I would leave them in as they are a little thinner, but not at LIV. They are a little thicker.”

The clash is the latest in a series of entertaining videos from the two-time major champion on his YouTube channel.

Thanks to such efforts, which include his iconic Break 50 series, the American now boasts over 2.5 million subscribers.

How has Bryson DeChambeau performed on the greens since joining LIV Golf?

DeChambeau is certainly not known for his putting, with the big-hitting American widely regarded as one of the best drivers out there.

Unsurprisingly, he ranked second for driving distance on LIV Golf in 2025, although that was outdone by his number one ranking for scrambling.

But DeChambeau has managed to make progress with his putter too, not exactly by lighting up the greens but by staying consistently high among the entire field.

And among his stats from 2025, he’s ranked lowest for his fairway hit percentage, but even then he was the 14th-best player in that area.
