Bryson DeChambeau had not missed back-to-back major cuts since 2017 until today.

Bryson DeChambeau’s frustrating run in the majors continued on Friday as the former U.S. Open champion failed to make the cut once again, marking the first time since 2017 that he has missed back-to-back cuts in major championships. For a player who has built his reputation on power, confidence and delivering on golf’s biggest stages, the result is another disappointing chapter in what has suddenly become a difficult stretch.

DeChambeau entered the week with high expectations after showing flashes of strong form earlier this season, but Aronimink proved unforgiving. Missed fairways, inconsistent iron play and an inability to capitalize on scoring chances ultimately left him on the wrong side of the cut line. As the pressure mounted late in his second round, the mistakes became even more costly, ending his hopes of playing the weekend.

The missed cut is especially surprising considering how reliable DeChambeau had been in majors over the past several years. Despite the ups and downs surrounding his move to LIV Golf and the constant spotlight that follows him, he had still managed to compete well in golf’s biggest tournaments. That consistency has now taken a hit, and questions will inevitably grow louder about whether he can quickly rediscover his best form ahead of the remaining majors this season.

DeChambeau was not the only star heading home early. Several other big-name players also failed to survive the cut, turning Friday into a brutal day for some of the sport’s most recognizable figures. The demanding course setup and difficult conditions punished even the world’s elite players, proving once again that major championship golf leaves very little room for error.

Fans were particularly stunned by DeChambeau’s early exit because of the momentum he appeared to carry into the event. His power game always makes him a threat on long layouts, and many expected him to contend deep into the weekend. Instead, he now joins the growing list of high-profile players forced to watch the final two rounds from home.

While the focus now shifts to the contenders still battling atop the leaderboard, DeChambeau’s missed cut will remain one of the biggest talking points of the week. Bryson DeChambeau had not missed back-to-back major cuts since 2017 until today.
