There will be only a few LIV Golf players teeing it up at the 88th Masters Tournament in Augusta National. The fewer numbers can account for many players not being high on the Official World Golf Rankings (as Greg Norman retracted the appeal after OWGR’s cold response) and having never won any major or the Masters itself, the invitational for the men’s first major gets severely hard.
However, despite this, there will be 10 players from the PIF-backed league. Now the question that arises is—will Bryson DeChambeau be among the players on the Augusta National, especially after his disappointing performance last year?

Surprisingly, yes, Bryson DeChambeau was sent an invitation to play the 88th Masters back in 2023 Christmas. Despite being ranked 208th on the Official World Golf Ranking, DeChambeau is among the fields that the Masters Tournament recently revealed on their website.
But how did he qualify then? According to the 20 criteria to qualify for the Masters, the 30-year-old passes two of them. The first win is through his only major victory. DeChambeau won the U.S. Open in 2020 and now has the exemption to play the Masters until the 2025 season.

Another category through which DeChambeau has become eligible to enter the highly coveted field is by his performance at the PGA Championship in the preceding season. The 0ne-time major winner was 6 strokes away from Brooks Koepka and in a four-way tie in the final leaderboard. So, per the 16th qualification criteria, DeChambeau is allowed to play the men’s first major as he falls under the top 4 and ties players at the 2023 PGA Championship.
With DeChambeau returning to Augusta National, he returns with a dream to achieve what he has never done since turning pro in 2016. Will he win the 2024 Masters? The Crushers GC’s captain thinks he has it to conquer the 2024 Masters field.
Bryson DeChambeau talks about winning the Master
The one-time major winner, as evident, has never won the green jacket in his life. From the players attending the 88th Masters, DeChambeau will be among the many pros to be attempting their best play for this year’s green jacket. Has he still got it? DeChambeau replied, “I believe I’m going to get it done one of these days.”

This is a bold claim from the 30-year-old pro because DeChambeau has never come close to even the top 10 on the leaderboard of the Masters; his best finish was in 2016 (T21.) Moreover, for the past two years, the 2-time LIV Golf winner has miserably lost the cut.

Given that, DeChambeau’s run at the 2024 edition seems weak. However, Augusta National is quite similar to miracles, with unexpected twists and turns. The next question is: Will it be a miracle for DeChambeau or someone else?
