Profile

DeChambeau's role within the major-championship field is the distance benchmark. The driving-distance average has been the cleanest read on form, with the U.S. Open win the additional marker the analysts cite for the iron-play gains of the last 18 months.

Recent form

The last six appearances are the cleanest read on current form. The shape of the role has been consistent across the recent fixtures, with minutes-per-match the most reliable proxy for selection security.

  • Whether the LIV-vs-PGA path opens the major spots the schedule allows.
  • Whether the distance gains continue, or whether the accuracy work softens them.
