LIV Golf Korea<\/a>. It\u2019s the same country that produced his lone LIV Golf individual title in 2025 (his Crushers also won the team competition), but he\u2019s at a different course this year, with Asiad Country Club in Busan as the host site instead of Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea last year in Incheon outside Korea.<\/p>\nNo matter the location, DeChambeau is now accustomed to winning all over the globe. His last three wins have come in three different countries \u2013 South Korea last year; Singapore and South Africa this year. That\u2019s a big part of the appeal of playing LIV Golf\u2019s international schedule.<\/p>\n
Until that stretch, his lone non-U.S. win had come in 2019 at the Dubai Desert Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cGolf in the States is massive and it’s one of the most impressive markets in the world for sure, but realizing that there’s others out there, as well, and that there’s an underserved market was something that we saw and thought that it would be an amazing opportunity for us to grow the game globally, and that’s what LIV has done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think as I look at it now, what’s really impacted me the most is the cultural barriers that get broken down, in a good way, with the game of golf. Everybody comes together. I think that’s what’s really special about LIV. I think that’s what’s really special about the game of golf. We’d be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t continue to do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there’s value in the States. There’s value outside of the States. There’s a way to match both.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s certainly value in winning in a golf-mad country such as Korea.<\/p>\n
A year ago in Incheon, just two players finished within eight strokes of his winning total of 19 under \u2013 his Crushers teammate Charles Howell III (17 under) and current OKGC Captain Talor Gooch (-14).<\/p>\n
DeChambeau acknowledged that it\u2019s \u201cweird\u201d to want to beat his own teammate while also hoping his teammate will contribute to the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gave it all he had, but it wasn\u2019t enough at times, and I got lucky,\u201d DeChambeau recalled. \u201cI made a couple of putts coming down the stretch, and it could have easily gone the other way. We were going head-to-head. It was a fun battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
After missing the cut at the PGA Championship, DeChambeau is hoping to have more fun in Korea.<\/p>\n
\u201cKorea is a great place for golf,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s a fantastic venue. Last year played great. Was playing great going into it. Struggled on Sundays but got the job done that week, and our team got the job done, as well, which was sweet to have. I love those sweeps; they’re a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crowd is always excited for our top-level golf, and excited to see what this new venue provides. It’s a different test of golf than last week, but I think an interesting one, one that’ll hold its own ground and its own right.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe grass is a lot different, so around the greens you’re going to see some interesting shots and some incredible shots, as well. Just the grass type around it is a little different than what we’re used to. We get some fliers out of the rough, so quite a fun, interesting test of golf this week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BUSAN, South Korea \u2013 Ebbs and flows.
