While Bryson Dechambeau makes his first appearance of the Ryder Cup since the winning effort of the United States in 2021, he certainly brings attention to the sport in the sport.
While dechambeau teammates were quick to have his back After Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee called it a “nightmare of the captain“It is still unclear who Dechambeau can play with the team event.
In 2021, Dechambeau went 2-0-1, winning and linking a match with fourball playing with Scottie Scheffler and lowering both fours sessions. In 2018, he went 0-3-0 and lost both of his fourth matches playing with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and did not play a four-ball match.
Woods and Mickelson are no longer playing in Ryder Cup figures and Scheffler to be paired with good friend Sam Burns for most of the event team part.
In fact there is no apparent candidate to partner with Dechambeau, and Golf Channel analyst Johnson Wagner argued that part of the trouble is Golf Ball.
“I think he will be such a difficult partner,” Wagner said in last week’s Golf’s episode. “I thought it would be Cam Young just because they played the same ball, but I heard that after Cam Young won Wyndham with Bryson ball, one of them left him.”

The week after Cam Young won the WynDham Championship with a new pro v1x dot dot dot Prototype Top Golf, Dechambeau put the same ball in the game at Liv Golf Chicago. But that experiment lasted only one tour and now Dechambeau has returned using the same 2025 pro v1x golf ball he played for most of the year.
While other American players play older versions of Pro V1X, who won 10 events in PGA Tour last season, Dechambeau is the only one playing the 2025 model.
Wagner claimed it could make it very difficult to find a partner in four.
“I don’t know there is just a suitable ball,” he said. “Because we all know, so special that Bryson is, about his rotation rates and his starting angle and all those things, he will not be the type of boy who will pass and play a Spinnier or less spinny golf ball just to make it easier for his partner.”
Choosing a golf ball is an interesting question in the Ryder Cup that only the surfaces due to the unique format of the match team. The only time during the PGA Tour season when two partners have to choose a golf ball is in the Classic Classic team event.
Enounghet quite interesting, Rory Mcilroy and Shane Lowry won that event in 2024, taking advantage of a void that allows players to change balls between holes. That rule with a ball is not in effect in that event and also crashed by Ryder Cup matches and presidents More than 20 years ago.
