In August 2023, DeChambeau won his first LIV Golf event at The Greenbrier, following his 2022 joining LIV Golf. He had shot 61 in the second round and then 58 in the third and final round to create a new tour record and tie the record for the lowest round in a men's professional golf tournament of the highest caliber.
During the September 2023 LIV Golf Chicago, he won his second LIV tour event. He defeated Anirban Lahiri and Marc Leishman by a single stroke with his final round 63, which included a 28 on the back nine.

Bryson DeChambeau's Professional Career
DeChambeau turned professional shortly after the Masters in mid-April 2016, signing a long-term contract with Cobra-Puma Golf. He made his pro debut a few days later at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina, where he finished fourth. His choice to turn professional meant forfeiting his exemptions to the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, but he qualified for the U.S. Open and tied for 15th place.
Despite his good start, he did not accumulate enough non-member FedEx Cup points to qualify for a 2017 PGA Tour card, but he did qualify for the Web.com Tour Finals. He was able to obtain his card through the finals after winning the DAP Championship.
On July 16, 2017, DeChambeau won his first PGA Tour event, the John Deere Classic, by one shot over Patrick Rodgers. In his 40th appearance on the tour, he won his first title with a final-round 65. The previous week's victory qualified DeChambeau for the 2017 Open Championship, but he missed the cut after rounds of 76-77 (+13).
After finishing regulation play knotted at 15, DeChambeau won the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, in a sudden-death playoff over Kyle Stanley and An Byeong-hun on June 3, 2018. After Stanley bogeyed the opening sudden-death hole, he went on to win with a birdie on the second, his second victory on the tour.
On August 26, 2018, he won The Northern Trust for his first playoff victory, setting a new record for the tournament at the Ridgewood Country Club with a score of 266 - breaking Hunter Mahan's previous record of 270 set in 2014.
He won the Dell Technologies Championship the next week at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, with a final score of 16, two strokes ahead of Justin Rose. In the FedEx Cup standings, this put him nearly 2000 points ahead of second-placed Dustin Johnson. This margin guaranteed him top seeding for the Tour Championship regardless of his performance in the BMW Championship.
DeChambeau won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 4, 2018, and with the victory, he climbed to fifth in the Official World Golf Ranking. DeChambeau won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on January 27, 2019, in Dubai, UAE, winning his first European Tour event with a final-round 64, winning by seven strokes.
In the 2020 season, he won the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the U.S. Open; the latter was his major win, winning with a score of 274, under 6 by six strokes. At both of the events, he defeated Matthew Wolff.
His most recent PGA Tour win was at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he defeated Lee Westwood by a single stroke, with a score of 277, under 11. He nearly won the BMW Championship too, but lost in a sudden-death playoff to Patrick Cantlay.
In 2022, he had a left hand surgery for which he took a brief hiatus and joined LIV Golf, winning two events in 2023, the LIV Golf Greenbrier and the LIV Golf Chicago; both events were co-sponsored by the MENA Tour.
