Bryson DeChambeau unimpressed by fan's comment at LIV Golf UK – 'Can't be saying that'
Bryson DeChambeau was unhappy with a member of the crowd during the final round of LIV Golf UK, as he finished a modest tied-11th in Uttoxeter behind runaway individual leader Joaquin Niemann Bryson DeChambeau was overheard moaning about a heckling spectator whilst departing the ninth hole at LIV Golf UK. DeChambeau finished the week at JCB Golf and Country Club tied for 11th on Sunday, as Joaquin Niemann claimed a fifth triumph of the season to solidify his position atop the individual rankings. JCB delivered yet another boisterous atmosphere, particularly during the weekend rounds. Whilst the golfers seemed to largely relish the atmosphere, one spectator appeared to cross the line in the view of two-time US Open winner DeChambeau. Footage that surfaced online captured DeChambeau grumbling as he left the ninth green at JCB, upset with a fan who heckled him to miss his putt, reports the Mirror US. "I love the banter up there," he told an official, before making his feelings known about one comment in particular. "But they can't be saying miss it. They can't be saying miss it, miss it, miss it." The ex- PGA Tour star's interactions with spectators weren't entirely negative in Uttoxeter after he received a warm welcome when arriving at the 14th party hole. Whilst he struggled to make a significant impact on the leaderboard, it proved a consistent week for DeChambeau, who continues to be one of LIV's leading names. A three-under-par 68 was succeeded by consecutive rounds of 69 on the second and third days, as he concluded the tournament at seven-under, 10 strokes behind a commanding Niemann. The Chilean is in fine fettle this campaign, taking home five LIV Golf League titles, and fended off a spirited Bubba Watson by three strokes to win on Sunday while shooting a stellar final round 68. Despite his grievances, DeChambeau has previously embraced the LIV atmosphere. One of the most raucous atmospheres emerged in Adelaide earlier this year, and the Crushers skipper expressed his desire to witness similar backing at additional fixtures throughout the calendar. "Certainly, this is one of the best LIV events if not the best LIV event on our schedule," he said earlier this year. "It's a joy coming back here with the fans and the people and the atmosphere. "This is what LIV Golf is about," he continued. "This is what we all thought it was going to be every single week, and it's going to get there. "We're going to work to continue to make that happen. But this is what we want every single week. So it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun playing out here." The following pair of standard LIV tournaments will witness DeChambeau's homecoming to the United States, featuring visits to Chicago and Indianapolis. This campaign will subsequently conclude at the Team Championship, with DeChambeau and Crushers aiming to reclaim the crown they secured in 2023.

Bryson DeChambeau tells all about powerful note USA Ryder Cup captain put in his locker at The Open
Bullish Bryson DeChambeau fired a blistering Ryder Cup warning as he revealed personal notes of inspiration left by skipper Keegan Bradley inside lockers at The Open. The American ace finally cracked some of The Championship code with a superb closing 64 to race into a Top 10 finish. DeChambeau was superb over the final three days as he banished the misery of an opening 78 to charge through the pack and prove he can do on the links. READ MORE: LIV Golf superstar comes out swinging over Shane Lowry storm and claims players are stuck in no win situations READ MORE: Inside the mind of Scottie Scheffler as superstars pal reveals s**t talks of Open champion in waiting The LIV star has not been able to add to his two majors this year, but the Bethpage battle against Europe offers the chance of a magical ending. DeChambeau's Portrush performance has fully punched his ticket into the home side for New York and he has warned Luke Donald's team to fear the worst. Captain Bradley has been pumping up his troops and was at it again in Northern Ireland as he team star revealed: 'I talked with him briefly and then he put something in our lockers that was pretty inspirational. 'It's a personal message. In essence, yes. For sure. It meant a lot. This year's no joke. We're tired of it. We're tired of losing. 'I hope I can bring a lot of energy and a tsunami of a crowd that's going to be rooting for Team USA.' DeChambeau was asked about the rumour President Donald Trump, a mate of his, would be at Bethpage to cheer him along, but he smiled: 'I don't know. I think he's got bigger problems on his hands right now!' DeChambeau's LIV experiences will aid as he continued: 'We have the most wins on tour right now as the Crushers. The way I've personally led my team is I've let them be their individual self, their best individual self to add to the team. That's it. Don't try to put someone in a bubble and say you need to do this, you need to do that. 'What I learned best from my college coach, Josh Gregory, was just that, let me be me, which was amazing. I've let them be them. That's the way I'll move forward in team competition.' DeChambeau's final 54 holes at Portrush were sensational, which brought a few fan jibes about a LIV event. His punch of the air as he completed the last three days in 16-under par said much about conquering the Open challenge. DeChambeau turned his week around superbly after a harrowing day one and said: 'Normally I'd be super pissed and frustrated, which I was rightfully so, because I thought I played pretty well and shot seven-over. I said to myself: I'm going to do something different this time. 'I've been working on myself and how I am and how I act and whatnot. I'm going to transition my brain to say: I'm going to give it everything I have no matter what happens. I'm going to go full force, attack . 'That's what I did for the past three days, I said, every time is go time, like you've got to come back from five, six back. That's the mentality I had. 'I said I'm going to give myself a chance. I'm not going to pout. I'm going to be free. I always told you guys I like it when it's fair conditions. I can play well. I still have to crack the code when it's raining and windy. But I feel like we're getting close to some opportunities and solutions for that. 'I was really proud of the way I turned it around and gave myself actually some hope on the third round.' DeChambeau received a rapturous reception down the 72nd hole and he beamed: 'I think I look at the game a little bit different than others. I want to win. I think we all know that. But there's more than winning. 'There's how you influence a younger population, how you showcase yourself and what you do for others, what value do you give them. The only reason we're getting paid the numbers we're getting paid is because of those individuals out there in the stands. 'Once I started realising that, I started changing my mindset so they see me more in the light that I'm trying to showcase this great game. 'I hope that I can add to the game of golf from outside. YouTube, content, entertainment. It's going to be a cool give-back sort of thing. 'That's the stuff that excites me now. Not more than tournament golf, but almost as much. I think having another identity with that saying: Hey, look, I'm not just a professional, but I'm an entertainer as well has shown people the true side of myself. 'It's a great Open venue. I think it was a solid setup. It would be a lot of fun to come back. It's a great town.' DeChambeau's persona is very different to Scheffler and he said: 'Scottie's in a league of his own right now. I played with him a lot in college and he was not that good, so he's figured out a lot of stuff since then. It's really impressive to see and something we can all learn from for sure. 'I think he's a family man. He really respects his family and he wants that to be the most important thing for him. I have full respect for that. At some point I will have a family. 'For him, I think it's more important to take care of his family, which he's done a great job and tremendous job of balancing the two, being the best golfer in the world and being a family man.'

Bryson DeChambeau Targets Rory McIlroy With Ryder Cup 'Chirping' Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Bryson DeChambeau has just been confirmed by captain Keegan Bradley as one of the 12 players who will represent the United States in the upcoming Ryder Cup. Bradley announced the news after completing his participation in the Open Championship. As expected, DeChambeau has received the designation with great enthusiasm. One of his first "official acts" as a Ryder Cup player was none other than challenging European idol Rory McIlroy. "I'll be chirping in his ear this time," he told People from the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere. "Now, if we go up against each other, I mean, you can be sure of it. I'll get into his ear a little bit." Bryson DeChambeau of the United States and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland wait on the tenth hole during the final round of the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, 2025... Bryson DeChambeau of the United States and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland wait on the tenth hole during the final round of the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, 2025 in Augusta, Georgia. MoreDeChambeau is one of several professional golf stars set to make a cameo in the sequel to the cult golf film "Happy Gilmore," starring Adam Sandler. From his words, it's evident that the wounds from the last Masters Tournament are still raw for DeChambeau. As you may recall, the two stars played the final round together at Augusta National Golf Club, with McIlroy leading the event by two strokes. The LIV Golf star managed to take the lead after the first two holes, but eventually collapsed and fell to T5. Meanwhile, McIlroy went on to win the tournament and complete the career Grand Slam. After that historic day, DeChambeau said they spoke little during the round, saying his colleague had no intention of talking. "(He) didn't talk to me once all day," DeChambeau said back then, according to People. "He wouldn't talk to me." Getting choked out by Shooter McGavin wasn't on my 2025 bingo card…⁰⁰Go to @Subway to get your own Happy Gilmore meal and watch the movie July 25th on @Netflix!⁰⁰#SubwayPartner — Bryson DeChambeau (@brysondech) July 23, 2025 DeChambeau and McIlroy have never faced each other directly in previous Ryder Cups. They did compete against each other last year on the made-for-TV golf show "The Showdown," when the Northern Irishman and Scottie Scheffler defeated DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. DeChambeau is currently ranked fifth in the American rankings to make the Ryder Cup team, so he would qualify in his own right to play at Bethpage Black next September. However, he could fall off the list during the month of August, as LIV Golf events don't accrue points. That's why Bradley moved ahead with confirming him on the team, either by finishing in the top six or by choosing him among the six free picks. DeChambeau is the third American player guaranteed for the Ryder Cup team. Scottie Scheffler has already mathematically qualified, while JJ Spaun was also confirmed by Bradley after his victory at the US Open.

The real reason Bryson DeChambeau has a new (old) caddie this week and what it means
Bryson DeChambeau has a familiar face on the bag this week at LIV Golf UK outside of London in Tim Tucker. But don't read too much into it about DeChambeau joining the current trend of players making caddie changes. DeChambeau's caddie, Greg Bodine, is receiving a scheduled week off to avoid a three-week international stretch away from his wife and kids. 'He gives me a week or two off a year to avoid three weeks in a row internationally,' Bodine told Golfweek last week at the British Open. 'I had India and will have the UK off. Sixteen out of 18 weeks is perfect for me.' This isn't the first time that Tucker has filled in for Bodine, either. He did so at LIV's London event in 2023 after the British Open at Liverpool, too. DeChambeau is in a busy stretch (for him) of playing LIV Golf Spain at Valderrama, the 153rd Open in Northern Ireland and this week's LIV UK event, which starts Friday. DeChambeau is one of the hardest-working players, known to shut down a range well after darkness and demands the same commitment from his caddie. His willingness to give Bodine an off week paints him as an understanding and reasonable boss. 'I have a wife and a couple of kids back home so if I can go three weeks without being gone that long it's nice that Tim can step in and Bryson's given me a week or two break here or there,' Bodine said. Tucker, who previously caddied for DeChambeau for nearly five years including during his first U.S. Open title in 2020, split with DeChambeau in June 2021 on the eve of the Rocket Classic, where he was the defending champion. At the time, Tucker said he left to focus on his luxury shuttle service at Bandon Dunes but he was lured back to caddying on the PGA Tour. He had been on the bag of Kurt Kitayama, including when he won his lone Tour title at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tucker last worked for Kitayama at the John Deere Classic, where he finished T-4. Kitayama was in the field at last week's Barracuda Championship and had his older brother, Daniel, on the bag, and was expected to have his brother working for him again this week at the 3M Open. Tucker confirmed via text that they had parted ways and that he was simply spelling Bodine this week. He added, 'then I will see what opportunities there are in the caddie world.' Tucker isn't the only caddie reuniting with a former bagman. Paul Tesori, who caddied for Webb Simpson for more than a decade including at the 2012 U.S. Open, will be back on the bag for his old boss at the 3M Open. Tesori, who split last month with Tom Kim, posted on social media that he, too, would be back for one week and one week only. "Reunited and it feels so good," he wrote.
