- DeChambeau followed a playoff win over Richard T. Lee in Singapore with another playoff victory at Steyn City in South Africa, where he beat Jon Rahm.
- He sealed the South Africa title after a standout playoff approach from a difficult lie nearly 300 yards out to 12 feet, then grew emotional after tapping in the winner.
- Through five LIV starts this season, he ranks third in driving distance (313.2 yards) and greens in regulation (76.9%) and sixth in birdie average (4.95).
- His recent run builds on improved Augusta results, with finishes of T6 in 2024 and T5 in 2025 following a T3 earlier this season at LIV Adelaide.
- Influencer Paige Spiranac publicly backed his Augusta chances, saying she thinks he could be in a green jacket soon, as coverage frames him as a key challenger to defending champion Rory McIlroy.
