Bryson DeChambeau ‘frustrated’ at not being able to represent Team USA at Olympics
Bryson DeChambeau might have been what Team USA needed in its men’s golf lineup to win back-to-back gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
But instead, the winner of the 2024 US Open will be on the sidelines due to the Official World Golf Ranking dispute with LIV Golf. DeChambeau joined LIV Golf last season and won twice in 2023. He also finished second at this year’s PGA Championship and tied for sixth at the Masters.

He admitted he was “frustrated” at having to watch the Olympics like everyone else.
“I would love to represent America,” DeChambeau said Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “It was hard for me not to go last time because of COVID, and it was just one of those that happened. Hopefully, one day this game of golf will be resolved, it’ll get going again, and I’ll be able to play.” .
“I’m playing great golf, I’m excited. Ultimately, am I frustrated, disappointed? Sure, you can say that for sure, but I made the decisions I made and that has consequences, and I respect that, but I hope that, sooner It’s late, we’ll figure it out.”
He published his appearance in the show in X.

“Nothing would mean more to me than wearing red, white and blue for Team USA at the Olympic Games,” he added.
LIV Golf events are not recognized in the Official World Golf Ranking. You do not receive any points for events you finish in the rival PGA Tour league.
DeChambeau is 10th overall.
