DP World Tour Pro Calls DeChambeau’s Drop in Performance ‘Sad’

LIV Golf’s second event of 2023 wrapped up on Sunday, and it was another struggle for Bryson DeChambeau.

The former U.S. Open winner, who recently dropped out of the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking due to LIV not yet receiving points for its events, finished 44^th out of 48 at the LIV Golf Invitational Tucson over the weekend.

In six rounds for LIV in 2023, DeChambeau has only been under par in one of them—the final round a few weeks ago at Mayakoba, where he rallied to finish 23^rd. His best finish in six 2022 LIV events was a pair of 10^th-place results. His only other top 10 of 2022 was an eighth at the Open Championship after shooting +12 at the Masters and +13 at the U.S. Open.

It is WILD what has happened to Bryson. He is currently beating one player this week. Doesn’t have a better finish then 10th, on a no-cut, 48 player tour. It wasn’t long ago he was the most talked about player in golf and winning. Now basically a side note and lost. pic.twitter.com/0CfSU4ecgE

In response, DP World Tour pro Eddie Pepperell, who is outspoken whether it’s about LIV or the PGA Tour, weighed in.

It’s sad.

Someone responded, “Is it?” to Pepperell’s tweet, and he responded:

“I think so. He is different and a great player who’s made some odd (bad, probably) decisions.”

The 29-year-old dealt with injuries to his hand and back for much of 2022. After admittedly playing his “C-game” last year, DeChambeau has claimed that he was healthy going into this season, but the results haven’t been there yet.

He returns to the city of his last pro golf win (the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational) in LIV’s next event at Orange County National in Orlando, Florida. After that, he’ll head to Augusta with other LIV pros who are eligible for the Masters.
