Bryson DeChambeau Breaks Silence on Rory McIlroy Snub — Drops Shocking Tiger Woods Remark!

LIV Golf Star Clarifies Remarks After Quiet Masters Round with Rory McIlroy Bryson DeChambeau entered the final round of the Masters last week as a major contender to challenge Rory McIlroy. However, a less-than-stellar performance on Sunday saw him slip to a tie for fifth, four shots behind the winner. In a twist, it was Justin Rose who unexpectedly stepped up, pushing McIlroy into a dramatic playoff. DeChambeau’s most talked-about moment from Sunday didn’t come from his play but rather a comment he made after sinking his final putt on the 18th. He mentioned that McIlroy hadn’t spoken to him during the round, which sparked criticism, including from Irish golf legend and Ryder Cup icon Padraig Harrington, who felt the remark was unnecessary. Now that the dust has settled at Augusta National, DeChambeau has sought to clear the air. Speaking on the matter, he clarified: “He [McIlroy] was just focused all day; he wasn’t being rude. I simply noted he didn’t say anything. There’s no animosity—nothing personal.” McIlroy’s sports psychologist later confirmed to the BBC that the silent approach wasn’t directed at DeChambeau specifically. “It had nothing to do with Bryson,” he said. “The plan was to stay locked in, not to be distracted by others’ scores, swings, or strategies. Rory needed to stay in his own zone and trust that playing his best would be enough.” DeChambeau, who was just a few feet away when McIlroy narrowly missed a chance to seal victory in regulation on the 18th green, shared that he extended a handshake. He also stated he would’ve been quick to congratulate McIlroy had he clinched the title then and there.
