Bryson DeChambeau - Page 5 - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact DeChambeau entered the event as the defending champion after beating out Crushers GC teammate Charles Howell III in 2025, though last year's event took place at a different course. DeChambeau and Howell III were at the top of the leaderboard after both carded five-under 65 scores in the first round, though neither were able to hang onto the lead over the next two days. DeChambeau made a late surge Sunday, going five-under through the first 11 holes, but he was unable to gain the extra stroke he needed to force a playoff with Talor Gooch and eventual winner Joaquin Niemann. DeChambeau has finished in the top-3 in five of seven LIV Golf tournaments he's finished, including victories in back-to-back events in Singapore and South Africa in March. However, that strong play on the breakaway tour hasn't carried over to when it counts, as the Crushers captain has missed the cut in each of the first two majors of the 2026 season. DeChambeau will tee off at LIV Golf Andalucia next week, where he's finished 2-9-T30 over the last three years since 2023. It will serve as his tune-up event for the U.S. Open Championship, which he won back in 2024 but missed the cut in 2025.
