This weekend marks two years since Bryson DeChambeau’s second U.S. Open major win. Yet, it feels like a distant memory now. His current performance makes that victory seem improbable.

DeChambeau, a popular figure on YouTube, failed to make the U.S. Open cut this week. He closed the two rounds at 5-over, resulting in his third missed cut at a major this season.

He has yet to play a weekend in major tournaments this season. Each month, a new low appears for him, making his situation seem indefensible.

Some suggest that DeChambeau should focus on his YouTube presence instead. Opinions about him have evolved over time. Initially, he was a divisive figure, often criticized for his youthful antics and focus on hitting the driver far.

Several years ago, he became more likable and succeeded in golf, winning the U.S. Open in 2024 and 2020. Fans and media embraced him as he consistently performed well in 2024 and 2025.

This year, however, his game has unraveled. LIV Golf is almost finished, with only six of 13 LIV golfers making the cut at Shinnecock. Notably, DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith missed it.

DeChambeau seems disoriented, expressing interest in his YouTube channel over golf. During practice for a LIV Golf event, he stated ambitions to expand his channel and engage global audiences through dubbing content.

In a conversation with Pat McAfee, DeChambeau argued that golf’s entertainment side, represented by his YouTube efforts, has grown more significant than traditional professional play.

Such statements cast doubt on his potential to reclaim past glory. His recent performances, culminating in missed cuts, underline the challenges he faces.
