Bryson DeChambeau has won his last two LIV Golf tournaments, including a dramatic playoff victory over Jon Rahm in South Africa. However, the 32-year-old American has already identified his driving as an area that needs improvement before the upcoming Masters tournament at Augusta National.

Why it matters

DeChambeau's recent success on the LIV Golf circuit has him entering the first major of the year as one of the in-form players. But his willingness to acknowledge a weakness in his game, even after consecutive wins, shows his high standards and desire to continue improving ahead of the Masters, where driving accuracy is crucial.

The details

DeChambeau's latest triumph came after a composed final round and a moment of brilliance in the playoff against Rahm. From the rough on the par-five 18th, DeChambeau struck a superb fairway wood to around 15 feet for eagle, putting immediate pressure on his rival. When Rahm was unable to convert his opportunity, DeChambeau calmly secured the win to claim his fifth LIV Golf title.

  • DeChambeau won the LIV Golf event in Singapore the previous week.
  • The 2023 Masters Tournament is scheduled for April 6-9 at Augusta National Golf Club.
