Brandel Chamblee Critiques Bryson DeChambeau's LIV Golf Bunker Outburst

Bryson DeChambeau faced widespread criticism after a video surfaced showing him angrily criticizing the bunkers at Club de Golf Chapultepec during a practice round ahead of the LIV Golf event in Mexico, calling them the 'worst f***ing bunkers ever.' DeChambeau complained about the sand conditions and claimed the bunkers could injure players, but many, including fans and analysts, showed little sympathy. Golf commentator Brandel Chamblee responded harshly, stating that DeChambeau 'signed up for this' by joining LIV Golf, a tour Chamblee accused of prioritizing money and hosting events for 'a murderous dictator,' instead of the quality of course conditions. Chamblee argued that practice rounds are meant for adapting to such situations and told DeChambeau to stop complaining given the lucrative contract he accepted. Despite the controversy, DeChambeau managed to finish as joint runner-up at the event, although he lost his lead in the final round. The incident underscores ongoing tensions between LIV Golf participants and critics of the tour's practices and affiliations.
