Next up is one of the world\u2019s most popular players and captain of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/crushers-gc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crushers GC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/players\/bryson-dechambeau\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>LOOKING AHEAD<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/players\/bryson-dechambeau\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> is one of the most exciting players in the game and brings a great deal to LIV Golf both on and off the golf course. He\u2019s played extremely well but has not produced a dominant LIV Golf season &#8230; yet. With his talent and ability to overpower golf courses, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/players\/joaquin-niemann\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joaquin Niemann<\/a>-like season where he racks up a handful or more victories may be inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two seasons, DeChambeau ranks third among all players across all tours in Strokes Gained: Total in major championships, trailing only Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. He will undoubtedly be a factor in one or more majors next season, beginning with the Masters, where he\u2019s improved his finish in two consecutive seasons (T6 in 2024, T5 in 2025).<\/p>\n<p>LOOKING BACK<\/p>\n<p>As one of the best players in the world, it\u2019s somewhat surprising that DeChambeau has only one individual victory in the last two seasons on LIV Golf. The Crushers GC captain has been LIV Golf\u2019s best major championship performer, winning the 2024 U.S. Open to go along with five additional top 10 major finishes.<\/p>\n<p>DeChambeau displayed excellent consistency in 2025, finishing inside of the top 20 in 12 of 13 events, with the only exception being a T30 finish in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old also prides himself on his ability to lead the Crushers GC to victory, which he did three times in 2025, and nine times overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 LIV Golf season starts next February under the lights in Riyadh, and in the next few&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-266887","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
