The 1-time major winning champion, Bryson DeChambeau, has been out of his form for most of the season of 2021-2022, due to multiple injuries. However, the latest video of him practicing proves he is back to his power hitting.

DeChambeau missed most of the tournaments this season because of his wrist and hip injuries. Notably, he revealed that he wouldn’t be able to play with his full strength when he attended the Golf World Championship Dell Match Play this year.
Furthermore, he underwent surgery for his wrist after the Masters and returned two months after at the Memorial Tournament. “It just didn’t feel like the old me of 2018 like I used to,” DeChambeau said after not making the event.
Notably, he is known for his power-hitting. He once covered 480 yards during a match in 2021. By covering 345 yards, the new video on Twitter shows that he is back in his form.
Fans’ reaction to Bryson DeChambeau and his swing
Dechambeau is one of the most controversial golfers on the Tour. From not congratulating a fellow golfer to slow play, the fans have not been impressed with him for a lot of reasons throughout his career.

On top of that, he joined the LIV Golf and played in its second event in Portland. And fans were not happy with his decision. The PGA-LIV golf rivalry is still hot and him joining the rival series irked out many fans. Fans expressed their feeling through the comments on the Twitter video.
That is one ugly swing,not many people being coached to swing it like that I wouldn't imagine.Fair play to him if he thinks he can do that for 30 years.

30 years? He joint LIV so he can be done in ten. He knows that his body won’t hold up, fair play I say.

Brute force alone doesn't win you tournaments. Rory hits it nearly as far without forcing it, and he has a short game. But hey, Bryson is all about wow factor, not consistency.

Who cares

Peter, I have now unsubscribed from your youtube channels for giving this major d'bag publicity….
— Stig Olsen (@StigOlsen14) July 11, 2022
That’s great but he won’t ever contend in a major again. Big boy golf isn’t for part timers who don’t enjoy the grind. Super rich and that’s rad but relevant golf is over for this one.

Other than Greg Norman, I dont think I'm rooting against someone more this week.

There were also many who supported DeChambeau by leaving positive comments. Some didn’t mind correcting the others who posted negative comments against the golfer. “I think he’s got a chance,” one such fan wrote.
😂😂 The comments on here from the "pros" who can't hit it half as far as him.

Let's hope he sees your tweet before Thursday so he can make some changes. Maybe DM him with your recommendations….

DeChambeau didn’t make the cut in the three out of four events he last played. So, although many were impressed with his swing, they didn’t think he would finish playing all rounds at the Old Course.
Won’t make the weekend

All is great but he won’t make the cut.
