Bryson DeChambeau captured his second US Open title in stunning circumstances at Pinehurst No.2, where he made an incredible sand-save from 55 yards.
He is now well and truly a fan favorite and right up there as one of the sport’s biggest names and top players. His Pinehurst win came after a T6 at The Masters and a runner-up at the PGA Championship last month, where he equalled the previous record low score-to-par with a 20-under total at Valhalla.
So, what next for Bryson now that he’s a two-time US Open champ? Four of our writers have their say…

The sky is the limit. He’s a magnificent golfer and an even bigger personality and I’d go so far as to say he’s the new poster boy for men’s professional golf. I love Bryson – he’s my new favorite golfer. He’ll win at least five Majors.

His results at Open Championships have, historically, not been great, but on current form you wouldn’t be surprised to see him pick up another top-10 next month – just as he did in 2022 at St Andrews.
Well, he has been knocking on the door of a Major win in 2024, so now that’s off his back, I expect DeChambeau to really push on.
How he wasn’t in the US Ryder Cup side is a mystery, so I think he will be at Bethpage next year and, for the remainder of 2024, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him finish inside the top three of the LIV Golf standings.
Looking at their schedule, the League returns to Greenbrier, (we know what happened there last year!), as well as a number of courses where Bryson performed well in 2023.
Will he be competitive at Troon? Most likely.
What I do think is that, following the win at Pinehurst, the American will certainly use it to expand his social media and YouTube channels further.
It’s very easy to get caught up in a Major winner after their big win but Bryson, let’s not forget, is a generational talent.
He is one of just five men to win the NCAA Div 1 title and US Amateur in the same year and…
