After Bryson DeChambeau's dominant victory at the LIV Chicago tournament, his comments about the Ryder Cup have caused quite a stir in the golf community.
The American, who has been involved in a lot of controversy lately, expressed his unhappiness at not being picked for the elite Ryder Cup team during his post-tournament press conference. Fans and other golfers have responded to this decision in a variety of ways.
According to a prominent golf news source:
"It would've been nice to at least get a call. There's numerous people I think Zach should have called out here. We didn't get that, and I get it, but we're nothing different," Bryson DeChambeau said at his presser following the win at LIV Chicago.
This year's U.S. Ryder Cup captain, Zach Johnson, is the subject of DeChambeau's "Zach" reference.
Despite some people applauding DeChambeau for his remarks, there was a strong pushback from supporters and detractors. In particular, one Twitter user responded to Nuclear Golf's post with a lighthearted remark, writing:
"He won a joke tournament with like 50 some people in it. Lol."
Given the nature of the LIV Chicago event, this viewpoint mirrors the belief held by many that Bryson DeChambeau's criticism of the captain's decisions was not warranted.

At the 2023 LIV Golf Chicago event on Sunday, September 24, Bryson DeChambeau shot a round of 8-under 63. The American golfer defeated Marc Leishman by a single shot to win the championship.
On LIV Golf, Bryson DeChambeau has been in amazing form this season. Many think he could have been selected for the USA Ryder Cup team too.
But Zach Johnson, the captain, has only selected one LIV Golf member this year.
