Bryson DeChambeau admitted that self‑imposed pressure has hurt his major performances, even as he strives to shore up LIV Golf's future. After a six‑major run that produced a U.S. Open win at Pinehurst and two runner‑up finishes at the PGA, he missed the cut at The Masters and again at the PGA Championship, marking his first back‑to‑back major failures since 2017.

DeChambeau blamed recent form dips on the mental load of expectations, noting he entered majors on the back of two LIV victories and a third‑place finish in Virginia. He posted a six‑over 76 on opening day at Aronimink, followed by a 71‑stroke second round, yet still fell short, echoing a pattern he described as “ebbs and flows” in golf. He remains determined to improve.

With Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund set to pull funding after 2026, DeChambeau rejected rumors of an immediate exit, pledging to help the league’s team‑based model survive. He highlighted grassroots ideas and investor interest, stressing that his mission transcends personal wins. US Open host Shinnecock and upcoming majors now serve as the proving ground for his optimism.
