Bryson DeChambeau has claimed there is only one department in his game that needs sharpening before he can become the best player in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US golfer has enjoyed somewhat of a career resurgence after he left the PGA Tour<\/a> for the PIF-backed LIV Golf in 2022 and overcame hip and wrist injuries. \u00a0<\/p>\n

He added a second major championship title to his resume at the 2024 US Open after pipping Rory McIlroy<\/a> down the stretch at Pinehurst.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The result was not just a flash in the pan as he also finished in the top-10 in six of the last eight major championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DeChambeau<\/a> also played in the final group alongside McIlroy, 36, at the 2025 Masters<\/a> but destroyed his chances \u00a0after hitting his ball into the water at Augusta National’s 11th hole.<\/p>\n

According to Data Golf – which takes into account LIV Golf results – he is now the eighth best player in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was ranked as high as No.4 in the Official World Golf Ranking during his PGA Tour days but has since slipped to 25th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old told Grant Horvat in a recent YouTube golf match that he simply needs to sort out his wedge game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is where if I can better with these wedges<\/a>, I feel like I can get to the best player in the world,” he said. “But I’ve got to get better with them.<\/p>\n

“The problem is I can’t hit it high, and then I try to steepen it and go down after it and I just (take) a massive divot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Got to figure that one out. That’s the thing that’s holding me back.”<\/p>\n

DeChambeau also outlined plans to hit the golf ball<\/a> even further in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between 2018-2020, DeChambeau added 30-40lbs to his frame in an attempt to become the biggest-hitter on the PGA Tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DeChambeau was successful but it came at a price, with the golfer’s extreme diet leading to inflammation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He has since trimmed back down to a healthier weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But he told Horvat he recently began speed training again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be further next year,” he added. “I am just starting to speed train.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My goal is to be average 195mph-200mph ball speed when I’m out on the golf course, just chipping it.”<\/p>\n
