DeChambeau, mired in some controversy since joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, was left off the 2023 Ryder Cup team and the 2024 Olympic team, despite being one of the U.S.’s best performing players. Esentially, he didn’t have enough points since LIV Golf events aren’t recognized.

On Saturday at the Cardinal at Saint John’s in Michigan, he made birdie on the final hole against Talor Gooch to win his singles match and help propel his Crushers squad into Sunday’s team finale with Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII and Louis Oosthuizen’s Stinger team.
