Overview
- This week CBS analyst Johnson Wagner publicly predicted Bryson DeChambeau is more likely to miss the cut than make it at Royal Birkdale.
- DeChambeau has missed the cut at the Masters, the PGA Championship, and the U.S. Open in 2026, a run that has intensified scrutiny of his form.
- Statistical profiles in recent coverage show DeChambeau ranks near the top off the tee but well below average around the greens and roughly average with wedges, producing costly approach errors.
- DeChambeau posted a detailed self‑analysis on YouTube after the U.S. Open, acknowledging flaws in decision making and swing mechanics that commentators link to his short‑game decline.
- The Open in mid‑July is framed as his immediate chance to respond, and commentary notes that uncertainty over LIV Golf funding adds off‑course pressure to his preparations.
