Two consecutive missed cuts in majors, and suddenly, everyone is criticizing Bryson DeChambeau for losing his mojo. Granted, it was the first time since 2019 that the two-time major faced this unseemly record. But ask the man, and he is as confident as ever. In fact, DeChambeau swatted aside any suggestion that he is playing bad.

“The weeks that I’ve been playing in major championships,” DeChambeau told the media. “I’ve been playing okay, just having nothing happen for me, and that’s kind of the game of golf. It’s not like I’m playing bad golf. I think I’m putting some pressure on myself to play well in those tournaments. 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 and missed one cut there, and it just happens. There isn’t any quit in me.”

Just before the 2026 Masters Tournament, DeChambeau won back-to-back LIV events in March in Singapore and then South Africa, vaulting to second on the individual leaderboard. He still holds that position. Yet he missed the cut at Augusta National. In the next major, he failed to book a weekend spot at the Aronimink Golf Club as well. But the third-place finish in LIV Golf Virginia between those majors proved that he is not out of form. Bryson DeChambeau shared an interesting take to explain his current situation.

“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 and overseas, as well, for the Open Championship. Head down, keep moving forward,” he also said.

DeChambeau, the defending champion of LIV Golf Korea, said he birdied the last three holes but still missed the cut. “That’s golf,” said the two-time U.S. Open champion. But of course, he hasn’t lost hope for the season, and rightfully so.

After all, majors hold a lot of importance for DeChambeau. During the LIV Golf turmoil, he even mentioned that he will be happy to compete in just majors and do YouTube golf. He has, in fact, clearly stated that he plans to use his latest gizmo to help him.

DeChambeau acquired Sportsbox AI, an app that leverages 3D motion technology to analyze swings. The Crushers GC captain stated in the Katie Miller podcast that he would arrive at Shinnecock Hills with that, and he has already made it a part of his practice regimen. But doing everything he can to win a major is hardly surprisng given his commitment to the game.

DeChambeau’s priority right now is to work on his game, but he also reiterated a goal that he has always focused on for many years.

Bryson DeChambeau is also not quitting on his mission as an influential golfer

Yes, winning the major is still a dream. But Bryson DeChambeau has distinguished his dreams from his mission in golf. It’s impossible to determine the outcome of a golf tournament even for someone who has the moniker of ‘The Scientist.’

So yeah, he can’t guarantee winning a major always, but what he can ensure is to be an inspiration to the youth. That has been his goal for many years, and DeChambeau didn’t shy from sharing that with the media

“Do I care about the game sometimes more than my own life? Yeah. Because I see what it can do for people’s lives. That’s ultimately why I care so much, and I’m so passionate, and I want the best for everybody. So when people are saying these things about me, I know my mission. I know what I’m here to do. Sometimes it’s tough to see, but sometimes it’s an inspiration for me. Fuels positive fire in my stomach. I hope that I can look over and see a kid looking up, smiling at me, so I can go sign an autograph because that is what makes me come back every day.”

As LIV Golf’s future hangs in the balance, DeChambeau might find it difficult to find the right path he can continue contributing to golf. But whatever road he picks, he will be determined to stay true to his mission the best he can. Even if it leads him back to the PGA Tour.
