Why Bryson DeChambeau thinks Tiger Woods can win another major.. full details below ⏬
Bryson DeChambeau’s self-assuredness is as essential to his success in golf (if not his grammar) — on the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, majors, and YouTube — as his power off the tee. Perhaps, then, it’s no surprise to hear the 2024 U.S. Open champion express confidence in Tiger Woods’ ability to contend in future majors.“He’s probably the most influential figure in the game of golf,” DeChambeau responded Wednesday when asked about Tiger’s intent to compete in majors in 2025 and beyond.“He is the most influential figure in the game of golf right now, and I think he deserves to play in the majors. He’s done more than enough for this great game, and he continues to give back by playing in these tournaments and trying to win.”Tiger, 48, has struggled mightily in limited appearances since his car accident in 2021 (he also underwent season-ending ankle surgery in April 2023). This year, Tiger withdrew from the Genesis Invitational, finished last of the cut-makers at the Masters, and missed the weekend at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and 152nd Open Championship.After coming up two strokes short of the cut line at Pinehurst No. 2, Tiger immediately confirmed that the British Open would be his final 2024 PGA Tour appearance (he’ll play the PNC Championship in December with his son, Charlie). He even signaled that the 2024 U.S. Open could be his last.At Royal Troon — in the wake of Colin Montgomerie’s retirement suggestions — the 15-time major champion shot 14-over par. In the aftermath, Tiger acknowledged that his initial goal to enter “a tournament a month” in 2024 was overly optimistic.
