Bryson DeChambeau confirmed he’ll be a vocal presence if he faces Rory McIlroy in a Ryder Cup match at Bethpage Black this September. His rivalry with McIlroy dates back to the 2024 U.S. Open and intensified during the Masters, where McIlroy won and Bryson ended in a tie for fifth. DeChambeau said he’s eager to get under Rory’s skin this time, promising on-course banter to energize the crowd.
Ryder Cup Spot Secured
Despite playing on the LIV Golf circuit, DeChambeau has locked in a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team after a strong finish at The Open. Captain Keegan Bradley emphasized that Bryson brings crucial energy and elite-level play to the team. DeChambeau echoed that sentiment, expressing eagerness to help flip the script following Europe’s narrow victory in Rome two years ago.
Rivalry Fuels the Competition
The last time they paired up in the Masters, McIlroy refused to speak with DeChambeau amid intense focus and mounting tension. This year, DeChambeau is ready to return fire with his trademark audacity, believing a little chirping adds spice to the contest. With Bethpage’s raucous American crowds behind him, he’s prepared to turn up the volume for Team USA.
