Bryson DeChambeau is gearing up for the PGA Championship at Aronimink this Thursday, aiming to capture his third major title. The 32-year-old LIV Golf star has been in impressive form in 2026, notching two wins on the LIV circuit, but his missed cut at The Masters stung deeply. For a player whose legacy is defined by major performances, this week offers a chance at redemption.
Aronimink's layout seems tailor-made for DeChambeau's explosive power off the tee, but there's plenty of chatter off the course too—rumors of a potential return to the PGA Tour are swirling. Still, all focus is on the championship ahead.
During a nine-hole practice round on Wednesday, DeChambeau shot a one-under 34, carding two birdies, a bogey, and six pars. His driving was stellar, hitting six of eight fairways, though his iron play was slightly off, finding just five of nine greens in regulation. The good news? The greens he missed were by razor-thin margins.
For DeChambeau to contend, the keys are clear: sharp putting and precise distance control with his irons. We all know what he can do with the driver—it's his short game that has stumbled in recent majors. After the Masters disappointment and the criticism that followed, he's hungry to silence the doubters. If his putter heats up and his irons click, watch out—DeChambeau could be hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday.
