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.
DeChambeau's journey with LIV Golf has been marked by challenges, including missing the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19 and facing uncertainties about his Olympic participation due to the ongoing discussions between PGA Tour officials and LIV Golf backers.
Despite these setbacks, DeChambeau remains optimistic about his future in golf and is focused on delivering top-notch performances to inspire others and provide entertainment. His recent victory at Pinehurst has not only boosted his confidence but also generated excitement for LIV Golf, with the upcoming event at The Grove drawing significant interest from fans.
Meanwhile, Jon Rahm, who recently had to withdraw from the LIV event in Houston and the U.S. Open due to a foot infection, is back in action and determined to compete. Rahm, one of the qualified players for the Paris Olympics, expressed his eagerness to return to the course after taking time off to recover and ensure proper healing of his foot.
As DeChambeau and Rahm gear up for their respective challenges in the world of golf, fans eagerly anticipate their performances and the excitement they bring to the sport.
