LIV CEO Greg Norman lists ‘3 reasons’ he’s proud of Bryson DeChambeau’s US Open triumph

When Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No. 2, it was not only a proud moment for him and his family but also for everyone involved with LIV Golf. After all, DeChambeau is a LIV Golf athlete, and to see him win a major is indeed a big achievement.

Days after DeChambeau's victory, LIV CEO Greg Norman expressed his happiness about the former's triumph at Pinehurst. In a video uploaded by Norman, he could be seen hugging DeChambeau in Nashville. The caption of this video was filled with three reasons why Norman was proud of DeChambeau's win.

Greg Norman wrote:

"I am so proud for 3 reasons - 1) as a player I know how difficult it is to try hold that trophy 2) as CEO of @livgolf_league and what it means to his teammate on @crushers 3) as Commissioner of the greatest group of players and staff I have ever been around. Collectively we embrace his victory."

While Bryson DeChambeau's US Open victory is a big deal, he will now be focused on his career in LIV Golf. The 30-year-old will be seen in action next at LIV Golf's event in Nashville. It will be interesting to see if he is able to repeat his heroics at the US Open in the Saudi-backed league.

Bryson DeChambeau's win at the 2024 US Open has been his only win so far. In LIV Golf, DeChambeau hasn't had the best of seasons. Despite being close to victory in the Saudi-backed tournament, DeChambeau was not able to convert his starts into wins.

In his time playing at the Majors though, Bryson DeChambeau experienced better results. While he finished T6 and 2nd at the 2024 Masters and 2024 PGA Championship, the US Open was the event where he finally won in 2024. Here is a list of DeChambeau's performances this year:
