Start of Professional Career

After competing in the 2016 Masters, DeChambeau turned professional and signed a long-term contract with Cobra-Puma Golf. Shortly after, he made his professional debut at the RBC Heritage, tying for fourth and earning approximately $260,000. He subsequently participated in the US Open, finishing tied for 15th place. While he wasn’t able to secure a 2017 PGA Tour card, he did qualify for the Web.com Tour Finals, where a victory at the DAP Championship earned him his card. His first PGA Tour win came shortly after at the John Deere Classic in July 2017, where he edged out Patrick Rodgers by a single stroke. The following summer, he triumphed at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, winning in a sudden-death playoff for his second Tour victory. Further significant wins followed, including the Northern Trust and the Dell Technologies Championship, the latter of which placed DeChambeau over 2,000 points ahead of second-place player Dustin Johnson in the FedEx Cup rankings, securing him the top seed for the Tour Championship. However, after finishing 19th in that event, he dropped to third place in the FedEx Cup standings.

In the 2018 Ryder Cup, DeChambeau was appointed to serve as team captain for the United States by Jim Furyk.

The subsequent year, he triumphed at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, marking his first European Tour title by winning the tournament with a seven-shot lead. By the close of 2019, he represented the US team at the Presidents Cup in Australia, where they won 16-14. In 2020, more victories ensued, beginning with his win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan, where he completed the event with a remarkable 23-under-265.

US Open Victories

During the 2020 PGA Championship, DeChambeau secured a tied fourth place, marking his first top-10 finish in a major championship. Shortly thereafter, he seized his first major title at the US Open, overcoming a two-stroke deficit at the start of the final round. DeChambeau was the sole player under par in that last round and uniquely finished the tournament under par. Notably, he became only the third player in history to achieve victories in the NCAA individual championship, the US Amateur, and the US Open.

Quarrels with Officials

Throughout his career, DeChambeau has engaged in several controversial exchanges with rules officials. At the 2020 Memorial Tournament, he argued about a shot that landed under a fence and out of bounds, contending that only a part of the ball was out of bounds and that he should be allowed to play it. However, PGA Tour rules official Ken Tackett ruled against him. Just two weeks later, during the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, he contended that red ants were near a ball he had shot close to the base of a tree. He requested a free drop due to the perceived danger posed by the ants and spent nearly three minutes in discussion with the official, who was again Ken Tackett. Ultimately, he had to play the ball from its original position.
