Bryson DeChambeau has been electric at The Masters this week, forging a fantastic opportunity to earn a first Green Jacket in a blockbuster showdown with Rory McIlroy on Sunday.
The current US Open Champion leads the field for birdies at Augusta National this week, with a whopping 18 made in the first three rounds, and also sits at the top of the tree in driving distance and putts per green in regulation.
Many golf fans were frustrated in the first couple of rounds with the lack of Bryson DeChambeau on the featured groups feed, which was actually one of many reasons that I became fed up with The Masters television coverage this week, but we will certainly see plenty of him as he aims to win a second Major title in his last three attempts.
With all that Bryson DeChambeau has already achieved in his career, will a victory at Augusta National mean that he eclipses Scottie Scheffler as golf’s shining star?
It’s a resounding yes from me, and I can’t help but feel that Bryson is the Masters champion that golf needs right now…
Could Bryson DeChambeau Eclipse Scheffler With Masters Win?
Scottie Scheffler has dominated our sport in recent times, partly thanks to a mesmeric nine-win season in 2024 that shot him into the hot seat as golf’s hottest commodity.
Two Masters wins in three years reserved an eternal place in the game’s history for the current World No.1, but I can’t help but feel that another elite talent has been regularly overlooked.
Bryson DeChambeau won the US Open in 2024, his second Major title in four years, and also finished runner-up in an agonisingly close affair at the PGA Championship in the same year.
He was also 6th at The Masters when Scottie went on to win 12 months ago, and holds two LIV Golf titles alongside prestigious PGA Tour wins, such as the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Memorial Tournament.

My personal opinion is that his decision to join LIV Golf has clouded the judgement of many, and whether you agree with that decision or not there is no denying his immense quality and dedication to be the best.
