Entering the year’s second major, it was hard to see how the PGA Championship could have gone any worse than The Masters did for DeChambeau.

LIV Golf’s funding has been pulled for next season, so all eyes are on the two-time US Open winner to see what he’ll do with his career. With that in mind, LIV Golf ambassador Rick Shiels expressed his frustration at the PGA Championship broadcast for their coverage of DeChambeau.
