Bryson DeChambeau has reason to be cheerful after LIV Golf blow with ‘perfect’ point

After strong showings in the majors during 2024, LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau was hit with a blow but a fellow defector has spoken positively about his experience in the Saudi Arabian league

Bryson DeChambeau’s fall to No.11 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) means there are no LIV Golfplayers in the top 10 – but fellow defector Lucas Herbert has insisted that the Saudi breakaway league is “perfect” for players.

The American has experienced a year to remember, having won the second major of his career so far with the U.S. Open back in June. The man known to fans as “The Scientist” also finished as runner-up to Xander Schauffele at the PGA Championship the previous month.

However, his strong showings have not been enough to see DeChambeau retain his place among the 10 best players on the planet. With LIV events not earning stars ranking points, the 31-year-old has tumbled down the leaderboard, with his performances in the majors not enough to usurp regular players on the PGA Tour.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom for LIV players, with rebel Herbert among those who have spoken positivelyabout the set-up. Speaking about his experience since joining LIV, he told News.com.au: “I played so much more in 2023, but it’s just a perfect schedule now,”

You get your time to get away from the game and get your development blocks to be able to get better, not just from a perspective of hitting balls for three or four days and then go to an event, you can actually really work on your game and elevate your skill set rather than just tune it up.
