Bryson DeChambeau is an eight-time PGA Tour winner and is probably one of the best ball strikers of all time. Notably, he was even part of the winning Team USA at the 2021 Ryder Cup at Wisconsin.

However, Bryson is known for being very vocal. One of his bold statements came back in November 2020, about Augusta playing like “a par 67 for me.” However, Bryson couldn’t capitalize on his words and finished tied 46th position in the delayed Masters tournament in 2020.
