Some golf drives simply defy logic. They soar through the air with impossible speed. They travel distances that make even seasoned pros shake their heads in disbelief. These aren’t just good shots. They’re monsters that redefine what seems possible in the game. The golf world witnessed a similar moment this week in Mexico City, all thanks to LIV Golf and Bryson DeChambeau.

The 2x US Open winner unleashed a massive drive that left fans questioning reality. The LIV Golf star launched what NUCLR Golf called a “391-yard ROCKET that finds the green.” The stunning footage quickly went viral across social media platforms.

The results showed immediately on the scorecard. DeChambeau took full advantage of his power game. He carded an impressive opening round of 63 to grab the solo lead at 8-under par. His domination of Club de Golf Chapultepec was systematic and thorough.

The remarkable driving display wasn’t just a product of DeChambeau’s scientific approach to power. Club de Golf Chapultepec sits at nearly 7,800 feet above sea level. The thin air at this elevation allows golf balls to travel up to 20% farther than at sea level. This unique combination of DeChambeau’s strength and the course conditions created the perfect environment for these jaw-dropping distances. Even during practice rounds, DeChambeau was turning heads with a 407-yard practice drive using a precisely calculated 15.1-degree launch angle.

After his round, DeChambeau confirmed the extraordinary distances were no fluke. “Yeah, 370 is about right. I was flying it that far on the driving range,” he told reporters in his post-round interview. “I’m like, okay, I think that’s going to be my average, and if the fairways get firm, it could be more. It could be a lot more.” When asked if his tee shot on the first hole represented his maximum effort, DeChambeau admitted he’d gone all out. “I did on No. 1. I had to, to get it up there. It was playing 390, and I’m like, I might as well get it up in the bunkers and have a somewhat easy bunker shot.” The strategy paid off with an opening birdie, setting the tone for his explosive round.

Even during practice rounds, DeChambeau was turning heads with a 407-yard practice drive using a precisely calculated 15.1-degree launch angle.

DeChambeau’s monster performance in Mexico City follows a string of impressive showings in major tournaments. He recently finished T5 at the 2025 Masters, where he briefly held the lead on Sunday before fading. This consistent high-level play across both LIV and major championships has intensified fan sentiment that his talents deserve the biggest possible stage. Despite his repeated commitment to LIV Golf, many fans continue calling for his return to the PGA Tour, where they believe his extraordinary skills would be better showcased against the deepest fields in golf.

As videos of the monster drive spread across social media, fans couldn’t help but express their thoughts on DeChambeau’s current tour affiliation.

“Wasted talent”: Fans call for Bryson DeChambeau’s PGA Tour return

The jaw-dropping performance quickly sparked passionate reactions from golf fans online. Many expressed their frustration at DeChambeau’s absence from the PGA Tour, where weekly competition against the world’s best-ranked players would put his extraordinary talents in proper context. “Pls return to PGA ⛳️🏌️‍♂️,” wrote one fan, echoing the sentiment of many who miss seeing DeChambeau compete on golf’s traditional main stage.

Another fan lamented the LIV Golf viewing experience, saying, “Would have been nice to watch and not pay $60. LIV is so pathetic. Need these guys back on the PGA tour dominating the nerds playing now.” The sentiment was reinforced by others who stated plainly: “Absolutely sucks he’s doing this on LIV instead of against the best players in the world.” These comments reflect the persistent belief among some golf enthusiasts that DeChambeau’s talents are somewhat wasted in LIV’s smaller fields.

Attendance concerns also emerged in the reactions, with one fan writing, “So wasted in front of 200 spectators!” This suggests that LIV events have not yet attracted the same on-site crowds as established PGA Tour tournaments, despite significant investment in the fan experience. Not all reactions were adverse toward LIV, however. Some fans appreciated the entertainment value, with one enthusiast noting, “Such entertaining golf. This course needs to be on tour.”

Despite the calls for his return, DeChambeau has repeatedly affirmed his commitment to LIV Golf. He’s embraced his role as Crushers GC captain and continues to find ways to showcase his unique abilities. As he continues his charge in Mexico City, one thing remains certain: golf fans everywhere want to witness greatness, regardless of the logo on the tournament banner. What do you think? Should DeChambeau consider a return to the PGA Tour? Or is he right where he belongs? Let us know!
