You might see Bryson DeChambeau’s US Open victory as impressive, particularly in the context of the LIV Golf vs. PGA Tour rivalry that has been the center of the world since the former’s inception. DeChambeau’s popularity increased a lot in the meantime, but that’s not the only achievement he has had this year. Recent revelations suggest there’s something else as well. The Scientist played a total of four PGA Tour-sanctioned events, all majors. In all the tournaments, the golfer had impressive finishes. He had a T6 finish at the Masters, was second at the PGA Championship, and claimed the silver trophy at Pinehurst No. 2. He did miss the cut at the Royal Troon, but thanks to his first three major finishes, De Chambeau is now sitting 9th on the PGA Tour’s unofficial money list. Yes, not on LIV Golf’s money list, but on the PGA Tour’s. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour-PIF deal is yet to reach its conclusion. Recently, @dylan_dethier, a writer for Golf Magazine, shared a post on X captioning, “Bryson DeChambeau played in four PGA Tour-sanctioned events in 2024 (the four majors). He earned $6.99 million in those events. That puts him at No. 9 on the tour’s unofficial money list””even though he can’t play the tour.” The 30-year-old earned $695,000 from the Masters, $1,998,000 from the PGA Championship, and $4,300,000 from the US Open and made it to the top 10 in the unofficial money list. It’s certainly surprising, especially given his association with the Saudi-backed league.
