Bryson DeChambeau’s 2025 campaign on LIV Golf ended with just one victory, which did not quite match the expectations set by his recent form.

He was still in the running for the individual title late into the season and helped lead the Crushers to within touching distance of a Team Championship win. Even so, it was hard not to feel like something was missing from his year.

And DeChambeau had strong opportunities to secure victories at both The Masters and the PGA Championship.

However, the 32-year-old is clearly not satisfied with the current state of his game.

Bryson DeChambeau preparing new adjustments for 2026

DeChambeau made a significant shift in his approach back in late 2019 when he chose to bulk up and increase his swing speed.

In the 2025 LIV season, only Joaquin Niemann managed to hit it further. And if you look at Data Golf’s numbers, DeChambeau led everyone in strokes gained off the tee.

Despite that, DeChambeau told Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel that he is working on getting even more distance with the driver.

“How do you hit it that hard and that straight? That’s not okay,” said Horvat after one tee shot.

DeChambeau then replied: “It’s going to be further next year. I am just starting to speed train. My goal is to be average 195mph-200mph ball speed when I’m out on the golf course, just chipping it.”

Bryson DeChambeau identifies the area of his game holding him back

DeChambeau’s approach play was a talking point throughout 2025. After The Masters, Trevor Immelman said that improving his irons could be the key to a major win before the year was out.

But it is another aspect of his game that has DeChambeau’s attention right now.

In that same video, while facing a 70-yard shot, he pointed to wedge play as something still standing between him and reaching his peak.

“This is where if I can be better with these wedges, I feel like I can get to the best player in the world. But I’ve got to get better with them.

“The problem is I can’t hit it high, and then I try to steepen it and go down after it and just [take] a massive divot. Got to figure that one out. That’s the thing that’s holding me back,” he stated.

If DeChambeau does put those pieces together by next season, there will not be many betting against him making an even bigger impact in golf’s biggest events.
