While on the Straight Facts Homie podcast<\/a>, Trey Wingo and Brandel Chamblee were talking about LIV Golf and its future with its players and finances.\u00a0 Part of the focus was on how star players could return to the PGA<\/a> if they were to ever need to.\u00a0 One more thing that came up was how Bryson DeChambeau is still fairly on top of his game.\u00a0 The two started speculating on how he can stay at his skill level while on LIV, and Chamblee believes that it has nothing to do with LIV.<\/span><\/p>\n

LIV Golf Is Pretty Relaxed<\/span><\/h2>\n

Something that has been brought up by players on LIV Golf is that the new league is much more easygoing than the PGA or the DP World Tour.\u00a0 Sure, it is louder with concerts, flash mobs, and pyrotechnics, but players agree that it is pretty easy going.\u00a0 Dustin Johnson has pointed this out and cites it as a reason why he is content.\u00a0 The 54-hole format with shotgun starts is less intense compared to the standard.\u00a0 It\u2019s part of why the OWGR isn\u2019t awarding points<\/a>, and why other LIV golfers seem to be off their game when playing in majors or on the DP World Tour.\u00a0 Players like Bryson DeChambeau are just playing with different rules.\u00a0 Now, how is he still on top of things?<\/span><\/p>\n

DeChambeau And His Caddie<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to pro golf, it doesn\u2019t matter if the player is playing for a team or not.\u00a0 They are always on a team.\u00a0 The other member on that team just happens to be the caddie.\u00a0 A partner who will give their two cents on the field and recommend a strategy to approach the game.\u00a0 Bryson DeChambeau has a stellar caddie in Gregory Bodine.\u00a0 This is who Brandel Chamblee believes is responsible for DeChambeau staying on top.\u00a0 Despite being on LIV, he found a caddie who can help him more than make up for any shortcomings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut I mean, it\u2019s not like he suddenly got better when he went to LIV. He got better when he changed caddy,\u201d Chamblee said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bodine has the experience needed to be such a great caddy, too.\u00a0 Before DeChambeau, he had been a PGA caddy for twenty years.\u00a0 He even caddied for Tony Finau.\u00a0 He approaches his job in a way that can foster the skill of the player he pairs up with, as well as forming a bond.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bryson DeChambeau Still Has It<\/span><\/h2>\n

During the podcast, Chamblee was criticising DeChambeau for joining LIV, but also praised him for his skill.\u00a0 He called DeChambeau a compelling watch, and it seems that there are fans who agree on that end.\u00a0 When the rumors of DeChambeau splitting with LIV circulated earlier this year, fans were begging him to come back.\u00a0 He still does well in majors and events outside of LIV and was good enough to be on the US Ryder Cup team.\u00a0 The next question that should be asked is whether Bryson DeChambeau can stay on top of his game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
