Bryson DeChambeau heads into this week's PGA Championship with everything to prove. After a disappointing start to his major season—missing the cut at The Masters last month—the 32-year-old is eager to silence his critics and rediscover his best form on golf's biggest stage.

Despite that early stumble at Augusta National, DeChambeau has been quietly building momentum on the LIV Golf circuit, where he's already claimed two victories this season. His game is clearly in decent shape, but as one of the sport's biggest stars, he knows that major championships are where legacies are truly defined.

There's no better time than the present for a turnaround. This week, all eyes are on Aronimink Golf Club as the PGA Championship gets underway. For DeChambeau, the focus must be sharp and unwavering—especially with questions swirling about his future on LIV Golf after reports that the Public Investment Fund has pulled its backing. But those discussions can wait. Right now, the only thing that matters is the next shot.

Just days before the tournament, DeChambeau took a break from the pressure to try something different. He headed to Cedar Crest Golf Course in Dallas, Texas, for the third installment of his popular YouTube series where he attempts to break course records at public golf courses. The results, however, were far from encouraging.

In his first two attempts, DeChambeau equaled the course record at Southern Oaks with a stellar 63, but struggled at Texarkana, posting a 69. At Cedar Crest, history repeated itself with another round of three-under-par 69. While that score might look respectable on paper, the two-time U.S. Open champion played poorly, with his driver and putter letting him down.

Watching the video, it's clear that something is off. DeChambeau was hitting a slinging draw with his driver and found it nearly impossible to hold the fairways. For a player of his caliber, the inability to hit a fade is puzzling—and it's a weakness that could prove costly at Aronimink. If he hopes to contend for another major title, he'll need to find a way to at least hit a soft cut.

This week, Bryson DeChambeau must play far better than he did at Cedar Crest. The talent is there, the wins are there, but the majors demand perfection. For one of golf's most fascinating figures, the clock is ticking.
