DeChambeau says pressure, not the league, explains his slump and remains hopeful for LIV’s long‑term outlook
World No. 1 Bryson DeChambeau insists that the recent missed cuts are a mental‑pressure issue, not a sign of trouble for LIV Golf, and he stays upbeat about the tour’s future.
When you watch Bryson DeChambeau step onto the practice range, you can still see the same fierce focus that made him a major champion. Yet over the past few weeks he’s slipped – missing cuts at two LIV Golf events and, for a player accustomed to contending, that stings.
In a candid interview after the latest tournament, DeChambeau talked about what’s really going on. He said the missed cuts weren’t about the quality of play on the course or the structure of LIV Golf, but rather the weight of expectation he’s been carrying. \"I felt the pressure mount each day,\" he admitted, "and it started to affect my swing, my decision‑making, even my pre‑round routine. It’s funny how your mind can sabotage you when you’re trying too hard to prove something."
That honesty is refreshing, especially in a sport where players often hide behind the “game’s ups and downs.” DeChambeau explained that the transition to LIV Golf – with its unique format, longer weeks and a different rhythm – has forced him to re‑engineer his preparation. He’s been tinkering with launch angles, adjusting his iron distances, and even testing new mental‑training techniques to keep the pressure in check.
Despite the setbacks, his optimism about LIV Golf’s long‑term future is unwavering. "I truly believe this tour is building something special," he said, eyes bright. "The venues are world‑class, the competition is fierce, and there’s a real chance to grow the game globally. The early growing‑pains are normal, but they’re not a sign that we’re heading in the wrong direction."
DeChambeau also reminded fans that every athlete goes through rough patches. He cited his own journey – from the days he was a physics‑obsessed teenager to his revolutionary 2020 U.S. Open win – as proof that persistence pays off. "I’ve always tried to push the boundaries of what’s possible, on the course and off it. Missing a couple of cuts is just another data point. I’ll analyze, adjust, and come back stronger," he promised.
For now, the 30‑year‑old is focusing on the small things: sleeping more, keeping his diet consistent, and dialing back the self‑criticism that can snowball into a bigger problem. He’s also leaning on his team, especially his swing coach and sports psychologist, to keep the mindset healthy.
In the end, what shines through is a player who refuses to let a temporary slump define his narrative. Whether it’s through a different club selection or a breath‑work exercise before a tee‑off, DeChambeau is determined to turn this pressure into performance – and he’s confident LIV Golf will continue to flourish, with or without his next round of success.
