After the golfer lost to Patrick Cantlay at the BMW Championship, he was accused of swearing at a spectator. Rumors also said that DeChambeau asked Cantlay to stand still while he played his shots. However, the golf scientist was unaffected by the accusations and said he was going to move on. “I can take heat, I have taken heat my whole life and it’s because I am a little different and I understand that,” DeChambeau said.

Talking about the same, DeChambeau said “They’re delaying the inevitable,”. He said that they were “playing a waiting game”. He added that this will result in the ranking points falling to a level that they won’t even matter. DeChambeau pointed towards the whole waiting game to be a strategy to avoid LIV Golf players from getting access to OWGR points.
