Bryson DeChambeau has endured a brutal stretch this season, and the 2026 PGA Championship is shaping up to be the latest low point in a year that's tested both his game and his patience. After a disappointing showing at The Masters in April and the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf's funding, DeChambeau arrived at Aronimink Golf Club hoping to turn things around. Instead, he's staring down what could be one of the worst major performances of his career.

Through two rounds, DeChambeau sits at +10, tracking to miss the cut for the first time at the PGA Championship since 2019. That year, he missed at +6, but this week's struggles have been far more severe. If his score holds, it will be his worst-ever finish at this event, surpassing even his +1 missed cut in 2018. For a player who has finished in the top four at the PGA Championship in four of his nine appearances—including a solo second at -20 in 2024 and a tie for second at -6 in 2025—this collapse is particularly jarring.

But the 2026 PGA Championship isn't the only major where DeChambeau has struggled. His two worst scores in major championships remain a tie between the 2017 Open Championship, where he shot +13 and missed the cut, and another performance that saw him post a similar number. This year's Masters and PGA Championship both rank among his most difficult outings, compounding the frustration for a player who has shown flashes of brilliance but can't seem to find consistency on the biggest stages.

For fans and analysts alike, DeChambeau's recent implosion raises questions about his mental and physical game. At a course like Aronimink, known for its challenging layout and demanding conditions, every shot matters—and for DeChambeau, too many have gone astray. As he fights to regain his form, this week serves as a stark reminder that even the game's most powerful players can have their toughest days under the brightest lights.
