2019 Wins/Top Finishes: 1st – Shriners Open, 7th – Tournament of Champions, T10 – Sony Open

Bryson has proven that his unique approach to the game definitely works for him. After missing the cut in the 2018 PGA Championship, DeChambeau won the first two FedExCup events, the Northern Trust and Dell Technologies Championship. He then won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and added a European Tour win at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

The guy has five PGA Tour wins in his short career. That’s is impressive, however, his major championship results have not been great. Since the 2017 U.S. Open, DeChambeau has finished no higher than T25 in a major.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that he can’t or won’t, but I don’t think he’s quite ready for the pressure on the back nine of a major championship on Sunday.

My advice … not this year.
