Bryson DeChambeau’s PGA Championship ended in misery at Aronimink this week. DeChambeau has now missed two cuts in a row after his disastrous showing at Aronimink.

Bryson DeChambeau's week at the PGA Championship turned into a nightmare at Aronimink, as the two-time US Open winner missed his second consecutive cut in a major tournament. The 32-year-old golfer struggled mightily, shooting a 76 in the first round and a 71 in the second, leaving him tied for 112th place—a surprising result for someone of his caliber.

DeChambeau's driving was off, his iron play fell short, and the combination cost him dearly. But it wasn't just his performance on the course that raised eyebrows. Off the course, a decision by his team backfired, drawing negative attention. The Dallas native looked visibly frustrated and disconnected, a stark contrast to his usual fiery demeanor.

The root of the issue may lie in the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is reportedly planning to withdraw financial backing from the league after this season, leaving DeChambeau—who is out of contract—facing an uncertain future. This cloud of doubt seems to be affecting his focus, as he now faces the possibility of missing three straight major cuts, something he's never done before.

While DeChambeau did take time to sign autographs for fans after his second round, his silence with the media was a misstep. According to analyst Paul McGinley, DeChambeau's agent instructed him not to speak to reporters this week, likely due to recent controversial statements about LIV Golf and a potential return to the PGA Tour. This silence was a departure from his usual willingness to face the press, win or lose, which had helped build his popularity among fans.

As DeChambeau heads to Shinnecock Hills next month, all eyes will be on him to see if he can bounce back. For now, it's clear that both his game and his mindset need a reset.
