Report: Utterly shocking rumour emerges about Bryson DeChambeau

Bryson DeChambeau’s aspirations to compete in the 2025 Ryder Cup may be in jeopardy due to a surprising loophole, as revealed in a recent report. According to *Telegraph Sport*, DeChambeau might be ineligible for next year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black because a ‘grace period’ related to paying dues to the PGA of America expired in June 2023.

The PGA of America, which organizes the Ryder Cup along with the DP World Tour, is a distinct entity from the PGA Tour. It also oversees the PGA Championship. As *Telegraph Sport*’s James Corrigan explained, anyone who paid their PGA dues before June 30, 2022, was eligible to play in the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome due to this obscure grace period. However, with that loophole now closed, it’s uncertain if new provisions will be made for LIV Golf players like DeChambeau.

When asked about the situation, the PGA of America stated that they had “nothing to share” at the moment. This development also affects Brooks Koepka, another LIV Golf player who was a captain’s pick for the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup team. Koepka made history as the first LIV golfer to represent the U.S. in the Ryder Cup, but Team USA fell short, losing by five points at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.

DeChambeau has competed in two previous Ryder Cups. He made his debut in 2018 at Le Golf National in Paris, where he played two fourball matches and one singles match, all of which he lost. Paired with Tiger Woods in both fourball matches, DeChambeau and Woods were defeated twice by the formidable European duo of Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari.

In 2021, DeChambeau rebounded at Whistling Straits, going 2-0-1 as Steve Stricker’s Team USA routed Europe 19-9. One of his standout moments was defeating Sergio Garcia in the Sunday singles, setting the tone by driving the green on the first hole and sinking an eagle putt. He went on to win the match 3&2.

DeChambeau joined LIV Golf two years ago, reportedly for over $100 million, and has since been vocal about the challenges LIV players face in qualifying for majors due to the lack of world ranking points. He also expressed disappointment at missing out on the Olympics last summer.

Keegan Bradley, the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, has emphasized his commitment to selecting the best possible team, regardless of where the players compete. “I’m going to have the best 12 players,” Bradley said. “So the PGA of America… we’re going to have the 12 best players, so they need to figure that out, if that’s their problem.”
