Has Bryson DeChambeau won the Masters? LIV golfer's history at Augusta National, major wins

The 2024 Masters Tournament got underway Thursday, and no golfer in the field got off to a stronger start than Bryson DeChambeau.

Leading the pack at 7 under through his first round, the 30-year-old was in the lead as late afternoon hit. This marks his eighth appearance at Augusta National Golf Club, and a win would be the second major of his career, and his first in almost four years.

Following his first-round performance, DeChambeau's odds to win the tournament have jumped to the second-best in the field (+450), second only to Scottie Sheffler (+350), according to BetMGM.

Here's an overview of DeChambeau's history at the Masters:

Bryson DeChambeau Masters history

DeChambeau made his first appearance at Augusta for the 2016 Masters, where he finished 5 over to tie for 21st place and earn recognition as the low amateur. He turned professional later that year, and has appeared in every Masters since 2018.

That debut appearance at Augusta National has also been his best to date. He came close in 2019, shooting 4-under 284 for the week to tie for 29th place. The last two years were not kind to DeChambeau, as he missed the cut in both 2022 and 2023.

Below is DeChambeau's complete list of leaderboard finishes through his seven appearances at the Masters:

  • 2016: T-21st (293)

  • 2018: T-38th (281)

  • 2019: T-29th (284)

  • 2020: T-34th (286)

  • 2021: T-46th (293)

  • 2022: CUT (156)

  • 2023: CUT (148)

Bryson DeChambeau majors wins for LIV golfer

DeChambeau has one major win to his name since turning professional.

He won the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, after trailing by two strokes heading into the final day. DeChambeau closed the tournament out with a 3-under final round to overtake Matthew Wolff, who'd led after the third round but shot 5-over on his final day.

Since then, the Clovis, California, native has had brushes with the top of leaderboards in multiple majors. He tied for fourth at both the 2020 and 2023 PGA Championships, and he tied for eighth at the 2022 Open Championship.
