Leaner, meaner DeChambeau is LIV Golf's Major threat

Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka are the LIV Golf members who have had the most Major success in their careers, with six and five titles respectively. But these days, the best bet from that league to win a Major is Bryson DeChambeau.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka are the LIV Golf members who have had the most Major success in their careers, with six and five titles respectively. But these days, the best bet from that league to win a Major is Bryson DeChambeau.

The American returned to the winner's circle and captured his second US Open in 2024, when he outlasted Rory McIlroy down the stretch.

Besides that, he has been in contention more consistently than ever, with a tie for fifth at the Masters in April and a runner-up finish to Xander Schauffele at the 2024 PGA Championship.

Only McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler have shorter odds than DeChambeau at most bookmakers to win this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.

"This is exciting times," DeChambeau said. "I'm playing some good golf. Hopefully that continues this week. Figured a couple things out with my golf swing. Putting really well. Love the golf course this week."
