Bryson DeChambeau reacts to criticism faced for OGWR comments

Both Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka received heavy backlash from Twitterati on their comments over OGWR’s delay in making a decision regarding setting in place a system for awarding world ranking points to LIV Golfers.

Bryson even said, “We’re gonna keep dropping down in the rankings until it gets to the point that our rankings won’t ever matter. And that’s what they’re trying to accomplish, and I hope people can see right through that instead of believing the lies they’ve been told.”

DeChambeau was quick to reply. He said,I’m good till 2026 per my US Open win… I’m looking out for others that deserve points playing up against the likes of DJ Brooks Cam and numerous others. And if you did your research you would see we have hit every criterion…don’t be quick to criticize, be quick to try and understand”

On the issue of LIV being a no-cut event, DeChambeau was quick to counter. He said, “Wrong… plenty of no-cut events elsewhere…you can qualify through the Asian tour… not complaining at all. Try to understand before you bash. And on that, I’m going to bed.”
