How many majors has Bryson Dechambeau won? When was the last one?

The American golfer switched to LIV Golf in 2022 and remains one of the top talents across the global game, with eyes on big prizes.

Bryson DeChambeau ended day three at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in North Carolina with a commanding three-shot lead. His performance on Saturday saw him break away from a tightly contested leaderboard and the man who now plays on the LIV Golf tour is in a great position to add to his major titles.

Dechambeau’s U.S. Open triumph

The 30-year-old is aiming to secure his second major title, following his 2020 U.S. Open victory. That win at at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, New York, impressively came just six weeks after he tied for fourth at the PGA Championships, which was his first top-10 finish in a major. That win in what was the 120th U.S. Open saw him start the final day two off the leader, but a three-under score on what was an incredibly challenging day – no other player ended it under par – secured an emotional first.

It’s worth noting that Dechambeau also has two FedEx Cup playoff wins and five other PGA Tour victories, the last coming in 2021 with the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Paired with Matthieu Pavon for Sunday’s final round in the 2024 edition, DeChambeau got going at 2:21 p.m. ET / 11:21 a.m. PT. Pavon, alongside Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy, trailed three shots behind. McIlroy, a former four-time major winner and prominent PGA Tour player, is seeking to end his ten-year major title drought. Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama both started the day five shots behind.

The spotlight will likely focus on both DeChambeau and McIlroy, who are not only top competitors but also central figures in the ongoing PGA Tour vs LIV Golf debate.
