What Bryson DeChambeau said before the PGA Championship now looks more alarming than his display at Aronimink

Bryson DeChambeau was undoubtedly the biggest name to miss the cut at the PGA Championship this past week.

Bryson DeChambeau endured a miserable couple of days at Aronimink. At one stage, he reached 10 over par before concluding his second round with a flurry of birdies.

However, it was not enough to avoid a second missed cut of the year in the majors. It is the first time since 2017 that the LIV Golf star has missed two major cuts in a row.

Bryson DeChambeau outlined how confident he was before the PGA Championship

It was a real shock to see DeChambeau struggle at The Masters in April. He had been in the mix to win the event in each of the previous years, starting the final round in 2025 in the last group alongside Rory McIlroy.

However, DeChambeau has had issues at Augusta National. His one-length clubs have caused him problems on the course’s array of uneven lies.

So perhaps it should come as no surprise that he was much more confident heading into the PGA Championship, as he told The Katie Miller Podcast in an interview that has been released this week.

“I think I’ve got a great chance. I didn’t do as well as I wanted to at The Masters for other reasons. I feel like my game’s still in a great place,” he said.

“I won two events going into The Masters, so it was kind of a bit of a fluke. I had a bit of wrist stuff going on, but I’m feeling a lot better now, and Aronimink’s a great golf course for me so I hope it can line up.”

Bryson DeChambeau is clearly struggling to learn lessons at the majors

In hindsight, DeChambeau’s comments are almost more alarming than his performance at Aronimink itself.

Admittedly, Aronimink proved to be a hugely pleasant surprise. Rory McIlroy said strategy off the tee would not be required early in the week. That obviously proved to be well wide of the mark.

Nevertheless, DeChambeau was obviously confident that his performance at The Masters was down to just a couple of poor days at the office.

Unfortunately, he went on to lose 1.29 shots per round from tee to green, according to Data Golf.

DeChambeau’s form arguably provides the strongest evidence yet that LIV events are not preparing players for the four biggest weeks of the year.

He clearly expected to thrive in Philadelphia. His fans will be hoping that his performance now acts as a wake-up call ahead of such a pivotal spell in his career.
