Tiger Woods’ former coach backs Bryson DeChambeau while trolling PGA Tour over an Olympics post

Bryson DeChambeau failed to make the cut at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Following this, Tiger Woods's former coach, Hank Haney, criticized and trolled the PGA Tour on social media.

As per the qualification rules, the top 15 players in the OWGR rankings qualify for the Olympics. However, only the top four players from a single country within those 15 can qualify for the event.

DeChambeau, despite winning the US Open 2024 and jumping to 10th rank in the OWGR rankings, wasn't among the top four players from the United States. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Collin Morikawa qualified from the United States.

In an X post, the PGA Tour posted:

"In just over a month the world's best will represent their country in Paris @OlympicGolf"

Haney quoted the tweet and wrote:

"No they won't, @b_dechambeau won't be there because of the Cabal"

The LIV Golf players don't receive the OWGR points and therefore have lost out on the Olympics, including Bryson DeChambeau, who expressed disappointment over not making it to the Olympics. He said (via Golfweek):

"It’s disappointing, but I understand the decisions I made, and the way things have played out has not been necessarily perfectly according to plan. I’ve done my best up until now to give myself a chance according to the OWGR, but I realize and respect where the current situation of the game is, albeit it's frustrating and disappointing," DeChambeau said.

DeChambeau wasn't in the race to qualify for the Olympics before the US Open 2024 as he was way behind Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Collin Morikawa.
