Bryson DeChambeau 'very optimistic' over LIV Golf's long-term future and explains how pressure caused major missed cuts

Bryson DeChambeau has admitted to putting extra pressure on himself to perform in the majors and insisted he is ‘giving all he can’ to help the LIV Golf League secure its long-term future.

DeChambeau posted five top-six finishes across a six-major stretch during 2024 and 2025, including US Open victory at Pinehurst No 2 and back-to-back seconds at the PGA Championship, but has missed the cut in three of the four majors since.

The two-time major champion triple-bogeyed his final hole at The Masters to miss the cut, having arrived with wins in his previous two LIV Golf starts and among the pre-tournament favourites, then also made an early exit at the PGA Championship.

DeChambeau posted a six-over 76 during the opening day at the Aronimink Golf Club and failed to reach the weekend despite a three-birdie finish to his second-round 71, leaving him with back-to-back major missed cuts for the first time since 2017.

"The weeks that I've been playing in major championships, I've been playing okay, just having nothing happen for me, and that's kind of the game of golf," DeChambeau told reporters ahead of LIV Golf Korea.

"The weeks before that I played really well going into them. I won two events going into The Masters and then finished third in Virginia, so it's not like I'm playing bad golf. I think I'm putting some pressure on myself to play well in those tournaments, and that's the reality.

"Nobody is perfect, and I'm still working hard to play as good as I possibly can. The year before I played really well in the majors, missed one cut there [2025 US Open], and it just happens. That's golf, and ultimately excited for the opportunities I have moving forward.

"There isn't any quit in me, as you can see, even at Aronimink I birdied my first last three holes trying to make the cut there, and it is what it is. I'll tell you this: I played worse golf and shot better scores at majors. It's one of those scenarios of ebbs and flows in golf.

"I'm really excited for the future over at Shinnecock [US Open] and overseas, as well, for The Open. Head down, keep moving forward."
