Bryson DeChambeau is currently the darling of the golfing world after his 2024 US Open triumph at Pinehurst No.2.

DeChambeau has since competed in LIV Golf’s Nashville event, where he was seen regularly engaging with crowds and continuing to portray a much-changed figure from the divisive youngster who broke onto the PGA Tour.

His ever-increasing online following has also seen the American’s popularity grow in recent times, with his YouTube content proving increasingly engaging.

DeChambeau, however, is currently on the periphery of the USA Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teams.

And now, fans of the US have decided whether he should be allowed to compete in the upcoming events in 2024 and 2025.

DeChambeau is currently ineligible for the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal, and American golfing fans have now expressed their feelings.

One fan wrote: “Absolute no-brainer. 100%. Especially if they would like to win.”

Another fan called for the big-hitting American to be named captain.

“1000%, and make him the Captain as well,” they wrote on X. He’s a born winner, brings the energy and excels in the spotlight.”

This fan also shared his strong thoughts on DeChambeau’s current world ranking status.

They wrote: “Obviously… I mean, it’s the best US golfers, right? Not best PGA Tour card members…. Figure it up, people; let’s get the game back and the best in the world their rightful ranking points.”

The reason why DeChambeau cannot play in this year’s President Cup centres around PGA Tour membership.

The selection criteria for the US and international teams are different, but one common one is that all players must be eligible to participate on the PGA Tour.

Of course, DeChambeau is one of the pioneers of LIV Golf. However, he is currently unable to play on the PGA Tour, so he cannot participate in this year’s event.

Considering his current popularity and ever-increasing fan base, the 30-year-old being ruled out of Team USA events won’t cut it with the American golfing public for much longer.
