Few golfers approach the game with as much intensity and ambition as Bryson DeChambeau, and in 2024, all roads lead to Augusta. The LIV Golf star has set his sights on The Masters, a tournament he has long dreamed of winning—and after coming agonizingly close with a T6 finish last year, he believes his time is coming.
A Childhood Dream Fueled by Tiger Woods’ Greatness
For DeChambeau, the Masters obsession began long before he ever set foot on Augusta National. As a young golfer, he watched Tiger Woods’ legendary chip-in on the 16th hole in 2005, a moment that solidified his lifelong desire to win at Augusta.
“I’ve just always wanted to win the Masters. That dates back to my amateur days and even before that as a junior when I was watching Tiger win it. His chip-in on 16 in 2005 really sold it for me.”
“I thought to myself, ‘OK, this is an event that I want to be a part of.'”
Since making his Masters debut, DeChambeau has fallen in love with Augusta, embracing its history, aura, and relentless challenge.
“When I saw Augusta for the first time and experienced the people there, the pro shop, the head pros—they’re just fantastic.”
Augusta Still Has His Number—But For How Long?
Despite his Masters obsession, DeChambeau has yet to crack the code at Augusta. His T6 finish in 2023 was his best showing yet, but he knows that coming close isn’t enough.
The former two-time U.S. Open champion believes he has the game, mindset, and work ethic to eventually conquer Augusta National—it’s just a matter of time.
“It’s a great feeling to play at Augusta and to come back year after year. Although I haven’t achieved my goal yet, I have no doubt that if I continue to work hard and learn from my mistakes, I’ll hold the Masters trophy in my hands.”
Chasing Golf Immortality: The Career Grand Slam Dream
Winning The Masters wouldn’t just be a dream come true for DeChambeau—it would put him one step closer to joining the most elite club in golf: Career Grand Slam winners.
Only a handful of legends—Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player—have ever accomplished this feat. DeChambeau is still far from that goal, but he knows the Masters is a crucial step toward making history.
“A career grand slam is a priority for me. I know how difficult it is to achieve, but if I can start by winning The Masters, then who knows?”
Could 2024 Be His Year?
The Masters is a tournament where patience, precision, and experience are key—three things that DeChambeau continues to refine. If his game is clicking come April, he could be a real threat to finally break through at Augusta.
One thing is certain: He won’t stop chasing green jacket glory until he gets it.
