"Bryson DeChambeau could have saved PGA" "So stupid": Fans react to reported snub of 2x major champ from US Ryder Cup tune-up

Fans reacted to the reported snub of two-time major champion Bryson DeChambeau from a US Ryder Cup tune-up before the main tournament. Keegan Bradley confirmed to Sports Illustrated that DeChambeau would be one of his six captain's picks for the US Ryder Cup team if he didn't qualify automatically.

The statement confirmed the LIV golfer's spot in the US squad. However, given his current status as a golfer in the PIF-funded league, DeChambeau wouldn't be able to play in the Procore Championship, which would take place before the Ryder Cup. The entire US team would play in Napa instead.

The NUCLR Golf shared about the same on X and asked the fans if Bryson DeChambeau should be given a special exemption.

In response, a fan wrote:

"Bryson could have saved PGA."

Another said:

"So stupid."

A fan wrote that Bryson DeChambeau made a choice and shouldn't get an exemption. His words were:

“Absolutely not. He made his choice”

A cyber citizen wrote:

“Absolute joke”

Another golf netizen wrote:

“Let the man play”
