Bryson DeChambeau must end his experiment after two straight major championship missed cuts

For two straight major championships, Bryson DeChambeau has looked completely out of his depth.

First, the two-time US Open winner missed the cut at The Masters after triple-bogeying the final hole. He couldn’t get out of bunkers all week, and could not come to terms with the uneven lies of Augusta National.

Then, DeChambeau was 10-over par through 33 holes at Aronimink to miss the cut at the PGA Championship. He couldn’t play out of the long rough, struggling around the greens for two days to crash out of the tournament. 

Both of those results, and the way they unfolded, are inarguable proof that DeChambeau must end his ridiculous experiment immediately.

Bryson DeChambeau must end his same-length iron experiment

In 2024, DeChambeau looked to change golf forever by implementing the same-length irons all the way down his bag. His wedges are the same length as his six-iron, as he hopes to create repeatability in his swing. And he was immediately rewarded with a win at the US Open. 

But since his victory at Pinehurst No. 2, DeChambeau’s iron play has been a glaring weakness. It cost him on Sunday at the 2025 Masters in his would-be duel with Rory McIlroy, and it’s the biggest reason for his missed cuts so far this year. 

On a flat fairway with no variables, the same-length irons are a great idea. DeChambeau can make the same swing with every club and get the right result. But when there’s any sort of virulence to the shot, he crumbles.

You saw that at The Masters as DeChambeau flailed in the sand with his wedges, and you saw that at the PGA Championship as he did not have the touch or artistry with those same wedges to navigate the thick rough of Aronimink.

They looked incredibly clumsy to hit around the greens, and DeChambeau had no control with them on uneven lies once again, so surely it’s time to end this experiment.

The very best minds in golf are all working tirelessly to find every one percent advantage that they possibly can, so if this was the way to go, then surely another golfer would have followed DeChambeau down this path by now.

The fact that they haven’t must tell DeChambeau something. Does he truly believe he’s just far smarter than everyone else in the game?

If there is an ounce of humility left in DeChambeau, he’ll abandon these clubs. But the question is: will his ego let him?
