“It doesn't matter” – When Bryson DeChambeau gave his hot take on team golf, a year before joining LIV Golf
Since joining LIV Golf in 2022, American professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau has been playing regular team golf. Part of Crushers GC, DeChambeau and his team have experienced a fair bit of success in the Saudi league. However, a year before DeChambeau could play team golf, he had made a statement on it.
In 2021, Bryson DeChambeau appeared on Golf.com's YouTube channel for an interview. During the interview, DeChambeau gave his hot take on team golf. When asked how much partners matter in team golf, DeChambeau said it does not matter and it's about him going out there and getting the job done.
The 2024 US Open winner said in 2021:
"It doesn't matter. It's about - I'm gonna go out there and get a job done. I've always been that way even playing with what I learned. When I was in junior golf we (Patrick) were friends after even before. But once you're on the golf course we're fighting for our lives,"
"That's the way I viewed it, that's the way I played it no matter what, just grinding on every shot, doing my best to play my best, obviously being respectful and doing as much as you can to show respect for the other player but for the most part it's - I'm in it to win it." [04:15]
