OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau operates on a wavelength that is entirely his own, and as DeChambeau can surely tell you, wavelengths vary when they travel through different mediums, like air or water.
The Bryson who travels through LIV Golf is not the same as the Bryson who traveled through the PGA Tour. He contends in more majors. He is more comfortable in the public eye. Whatever LIV players say publicly, the reality is that when they played on the PGA Tour, they were at the center of their sport, and now, for most of the year, they are on the fringe. This affects them, understandably. But perhaps because DeChambeau has never been at the center of any social circle, LIV Golf has been liberating for him (and only him).
