Bryson DeChambeau first appeared on the PGA Tour at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June 2015. According to his interview with Five Clubs, it was a distressing experience. “That was another moment where I was super nervous,” he said. “One of the most nervous moments of my entire life.”
During the course of his membership, DeChambeau, a “Young Mad Scientist,” played at 141 events, recording a total of eight wins and thirty-six top-ten finishes. He impressively earned $26,519,235 in prize money. Five triumphs in, DeChambeau cited the 2017 John Deere Classic and the 2018 Memorial Tournament as his all-time favorite conquests while chatting with Trump Golf. Of course, the 2020 U.S. Open Championship was right around the corner.
The win, he said, was otherworldly at best. “It’s one of those things that doesn’t really hit you. It’s not gonna hit me until tonight,” DeChambeau voiced at a post-game press conference. He dedicated the victory to his parents, who had made a ton of sacrifices to feed his passion for golf, and his crew, all of whom worked tirelessly to make sure he showed up to the tournament prepared.
