Much of the golf world, at least those not watching the remnants of LIV Golf on an event-by-event basis, might believe that Bryson DeChambeau is having a down year. At the Masters and PGA Championship earlier this spring, DeChambeau looked lost and frustrated en route to a pair of missed cuts. However, those performances clanged against his 2026 LIV results, where DeChambeau has won twice and fired a final-round 65 in Korea that very nearly resulted in a third. Now approaching the year’s penultimate major—one that DeChambeau has won twice previously—it’s fair to wonder which Bryson will show up.
This weekend at LIV Golf Andalucia, where DeChambeau finished T-11, Flushing It Golf spoke to the Crushers G.C. captain about the current state of his game and how he can avoid a third straight major missed cut at Shinnecock. As always, the human headline magnet delivered some fascinating insight. Check it out.
Bryson DeChambeau’s next event after LIV Golf Andalucia is the US Open, where he’ll attempt to win his 3rd gold medal. He spoke to Flushing It Golf at Valderrama about his preparation ahead of Shinnecock Hills and whether he feels any pressure after missing the last 2 cuts in… https://t.co/qjCrfjNdbj pic.twitter.com/mf8tCo6RZ4

If you’re the “I ain’t reading all that” type, here are the highlights.
+ DeChambeau doesn’t believe his missed cuts are systemic: “I might miss all four of them in majors this year. That’s just golf.”
+ Despite countless errant shots, especially off the tee, at Aronimink, DeChambeau likes where his swing is at. “I’m working on my golf swing really hard. I feel like it’s in a really solid place. It’s very close to some of my best golf ever.”
+ LIV Golf’s switch to 72 holes is paying dividends for him: “I feel like I’m actually playing the most consistent I’ve ever played on LIV, which is great. And I think it’s attributed to the switch to four rounds. No question.”
+ He’s not skimping on course reconnaissance. With no LIV event on the schedule until after the British Open, DeChambeau told Flushing It he’s headed to Shinnecock early to put in “extended work.” He also revealed that he hasn’t played the fabled Long Island links since the 2018 U.S. Open.
One thing we know for certain is when DeChambeau tees it up at Shinnecock next week, there will be fireworks. Whether they’re celebratory explosions or distress flares, we’ll just have to wait and see.
