The golf world saw excitement and thrills at their zenith as the LIV Golf Greenbrier came to a close on Sunday. While many players hoped to win the trophy and take home a cut of the whopping $25 million prize purse, only one person was able to scoop the winner’s share of $4 million. And it was none other than Bryson DeChambeau who topped the scorecard on Sunday.
While many were on his tail to win the title, the golfer was able to put up a spectacular performance to beat his fellow players and finish first. Moreover, he managed to enthrall the golf community by achieving a feat that even Tiger Woods, the greatest in the sport, couldn’t touch. Despite all this, uncertainty still looms over his chances of getting picked for the Ryder Cup team, making his fans very curious!

While the Saudi-backed league cannot offer FedEx Cup or OWGR points to the winner, it can act as a place where one shows off their skill, technique, and talent to get picked for the Ryder Cup. The stakes are very high as the two teams get ready to face off against each other. And with the teams not yet fully set, many are still hopeful to make it on the list, including, of course, Bryson DeChambeau.
Although the American golfer has had a bumpy start to the year, he has managed to turn around his not-so-good start to pull off amazing performances leading up to the Greenbrier event. Many are voicing their opinion for the LIV champ, as they hope DeChambeau gets picked for the USA team in the prestigious Ryder Cup instead of players like Max Homa or Justin Thomas.
A recent Twitter post went on to explode as people demanded a place for the American pro golfer. The post was uploaded with the caption, “If Zach Johnson doesn’t pick Bryson DeChambeau for the Ryder Cup team at this point, he should be removed from his role as team captain,” as they took a dig at the US team captain. While the skipper hasn’t been too clear about who he will include in his roster, a curtain of uncertainty does loom over the LIV Golf defector.
If Zach Johnson doesn’t pick Bryson DeChambeau for the Ryder Cup team at this point, he should be removed from his role as team captain.
Picking someone like Max Homa or Justin Thomas over Bryson would be a dereliction of duty.

DeChambeau was able to propel himself to the top with an insane feat that even Tiger Woods could not achieve. He went ahead to score his lowest score ever in his career as he finished the third day at 12-under-par 58 with a total of 187 (-23), while the lowest the GOAT ever managed was a 13-under 59 in a game with Mark O’Meara a week before his victory in the 1997 Masters.
Bryson’s Ryder Cup confusion causes a fuzz on the internet
While the 29-year-old golfer took home the trophy and the enormous prize money, many people voiced their opinions on his chances at the Ryder Cup. As the Twitter post went viral, comments poured in as a reaction to it, which ranged from support for the golfer to opinions against the LIV defector’s selection. Let us take a look at some of the reactions:
There were comments that compared Bryson with Homa, while the handle that posted the tweet replied strongly against the latter.
LIV literally just purchased the so-called “legitimate” tour. Max Homa melts down when the lights are bright, Bryson DeChambeau doesn’t.
Max is a good player. Max is not a great player. He simply doesn’t belong on the Ryder Cup team.

Justin Thomas hasn’t been right since Tiger handed him the tampon

There were some fans who were strongly against LIV golfers playing in the Ryder Cup.
Unfortunately, the greedy Liv boys determined their future by putting cash over proper tournament golf. So no it won't, and the Ryder Cup will be just fine without them *on both sides.

There were some fans of Phil Mickelson who wanted him on the Ryder Cup team.
Let’s not overlook the other historic round today as Lefty showed a lot of courage getting that elusive Top 40 finish. Put him on the team too 🇺🇸
