Bryson DeChambeau, the two-time U.S. Open champion, has set his sights on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after missing out on the Tokyo and Paris Games due to his association with LIV Golf. DeChambeau, currently ranked 10th in the Official World Golf Ranking, has been unable to earn ranking points outside of major tournaments and LIV events, impacting his eligibility for the Olympics.

With the Olympics using the rankings to determine the 60-man field, DeChambeau's decision to join LIV Golf, which is not recognized by the OWGR due to its unique format, has limited his opportunities to accumulate points. Despite his recent success in major tournaments, DeChambeau finds himself outside the top four American players who will represent the U.S. in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
