Bryson DeChambeau has reached a level where just one win on LIV Golf makes his 2025 season look somewhat underwhelming.
Admittedly, Bryson DeChambeau went into the latter stages of the season with a chance to win the individual title on LIV Golf. Meanwhile, the Crushers came agonisingly close to winning the Team Championship.
Do you think golfers should receive a free drop from divots in the fairway?
And DeChambeau did have good chances to win The Masters and the PGA Championship.
But the 32-year-old is clearly not content with where his game sits right now.
Bryson DeChambeau puts his rivals on notice as he reveals what he is working on ahead of 2026
DeChambeau underwent one of the most notable transformations from late 2019 when he decided to bulk up and attempt to add significant speed to his swing.
Only Joaquin Niemann hit the ball further on LIV in 2025. Meanwhile, DeChambeau led the way for strokes gained off the tee, according to Data Golf.
Nevertheless, speaking in a video on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel, DeChambeau insisted that he intends to get even longer with the driver in hand.
Horvat said after one tee shot: “How do you hit it that hard and that straight? That’s not okay.”
“It’s going to be further next year. I am just starting to speed train. My goal is to be average 195mph-200mph ball speed when I’m out on the golf course, just chipping it,” DeChambeau responded.
The part of the game which Bryson DeChambeau feels is stopping him becoming the best player in the world
DeChambeau’s iron play appeared to be what held him back in 2025. Following The Masters, Trevor Immelman backed DeChambeau to win a major if he could improve his approach game over the remainder of the year.
However, it is another part of the game which the two-time US Open champion admitted he had his sights set on improving.
Later in the same video, DeChambeau was faced with a 70-yard shot. And he suggested that is a skill which is preventing him from realising his full potential.
“This is where if I can better with these wedges, I feel like I can get to the best player in the world. But I’ve got to get better with them,” he said.
“The problem is I can’t hit it high, and then I try to steepen it and go down after it and just [take] a massive divot. Got to figure that one out. That’s the thing that’s holding me back.”
What he has achieved since 2019 means that it is impossible to bet against DeChambeau hitting the ball even further and being even more dialled in with his wedges in 2026.
If that does prove to be the case, he is going to be a real force in the four biggest events of the year.
