While no LIV Golf players won a major championship this season, the Ryder Cup showed that the tour’s stars still hold a place among the game’s elite. 

Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton were key pieces in Team Europe’s away victory at Bethpage Black. They formed a formidable partnership, and Hatton earned the Ryder Cup-deciding half point against Collin Morikawa

And while he didn’t leave New York with the result or individual record he would have liked, Bryson DeChambeau was one of the defining players of the tournament and Team USA’s emotional leader. 

There were 14 major winners on the LIV Golf tour in 2025, with some competing for major championships throughout the year. And one player in particular has been hailed for their ‘ridiculous’ work ethic by broadcaster Rachel Drummond.

Bryson DeChambeau is the hardest worker on LIV Golf, says Rachel Drummond

DeChambeau is well-known for his extensive, long-lasting range sessions during golf tournaments. DeChambeau hit 507 balls in the week’s build-up to the Ryder Cup, 150 more than Viktor Hovland, who hit the second-most. 

Having spent time with LIV players on the range throughout 2025, Drummond confirmed that DeChambeau works harder than anyone else on the tour. She also said that he and Phil Mickelson share a creative practice technique that helped them to win major championships. 

Speaking on The Rick Sheils Golf Show, she was asked who the hardest worker on LIV was, and said, “Bryson is ridiculous. And also what I find so interesting is, he’s always known as being this technical scientist.

“Everything is physics and science. But I watched one of his YouTube videos, and he was coaching a junior, and he was talking about feel.

“I said to him, ‘Bryson, you’re known as the scientist, but you’re a massive feel player.’ And I think he was quite taken aback. He was like, ‘Yeah, I am’.

“He said before he won the US Open he was hitting balls with his eyes closed because he wanted to feel where his body was. If you lose a sense it heightens others.

“Then I did a Q&A with Phil Mickelson, and I asked him about when he won The Masters. He told me that he was practicing in his sim room with his eyes closed. I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’ve just found something really cool.’

“Two of these golfers, just to get the awareness of where their body is and where their feel is. Everything about Bryson technical is very much about angles and physics to get the most consistent impact, but there is a massive feel element to that.

“And how did two guys that won majors train it? They closed their eyes when they practiced.”

Bryson DeChambeau explained how he gained scientist mantra

Despite DeChambeau’s reliance on feel, he is one of the most data driven and scientific players in golf. He’s constantly looking for minor improvements both in technique and technology to give himself an edge.

DeChambeau is developing a new golf ball that can handle his hard-hitting style, and he plays with a unique set of clubs with equally long handles so he can repeat the same swing no matter the distance. 

The two-time US Open winner explained how he has gone from being an artist to a scientist during his career.

Speaking with Drummond on LIV Golf’s YouTube, he said, “Everybody says, ‘Oh you’re the scientist’, but growing up I was actually an artist. Part of my craft is creativity, and through that creativity I work off basic fundamentals of the laws of nature. 

“I was like, ‘Look, I know I’m creative, I know I’m artistic and have a bunch of unique thoughts and feels about my body. I can feel things different than most, but how do I back it with something that gives me a distinct advantage?’

“So I went down the scientific method of what’s the most consistent way to swing a golf club, and I went down different swing methodologies, and I realized I have to be repeatable in what my golf swing allows me to do.

“From that, I then say, ‘Ok, how do I maximise that possibility of swinging it as repeatable as possible?’ All I mean by that is, I took my feel learned a bunch of science around it, and then from that I said, ‘Alright let me take it back to a feel basis, an athletic basis.”

DeChambeau has a unique approach to the game which has earned him two major championships, and while he a polarizing figure in the game of golf, what no one can deny is his work ethic.
