This week, with the PGA Championship at Aronimink, we’ll hit one key topic every night.

Bryson DeChambeau shot 76-71 at the PGA Championship and missed the cut, making it the first time in his career he missed the weekend at both the Masters and PGA in the same season. What’s going on with Bryson? And any reason to think the uncertainty of his current league , LIV Golf, played into this latest performance?

Sean Zak, senior writer (@sean_zak): It really is puzzling, especially when you consider his form from March, winning consecutive LIV events. I think what I see from Bryson at this point is increased volatility. When he’s on, he’s ON.

But when he’s off, he’s WAY off — mostly at majors, where the pressure is greater and the tests are more difficult. I think back to the Open Championship last summer at Portrush, where he played his worst golf in the toughest wind of the week and shot 78. Then, as the conditions eased up, he was the best golfer in the tournament, shooting 65-68-64.
