Even though DeChambeau has two previous Ryder Cup appearances - including an unbeaten performance in 2021 - as a LIV defector, he was more or less blacklisted from the team this cycle.
“It would have been nice to at least just have a call,” DeChambeau said. “There’s numerous people that I think Zach [Johnson, the U.S. captain] should have called out here, and we didn’t get that.”

Fellow LIV golfer Brooks Koepka did, in fact, make the team as a captain’s pick. But Koepka’s performance in the majors far outpaced DeChambeau’s (and all other LIV players), as he won the PGA Championship and finished runner-up at Augusta.

LIV’s representation on the team this week shows there
is an avenue to qualify for the team as a member of the upstart tour. But as DeChambeau sees it, the standards are different for his brood versus the traditional Tour stars.
“We’re nothing different,” DeChambeau said. “We’re still competing. We’re still working super hard to be the best we possibly can be … I have no idea what it was or how it was like or who made that decision, but it would have been nice for them to consider us more because we’re pretty damn good out here.”
DeChambeau’s resume might’ve added another bullet point last week, but his Ryder Cup team section will (for the time being) remain as is.
“It definitely does sting a little bit,” he said. “But say what you want, we’re still golfers, and I personally think that given the way I played this week, I could have definitely racked up some points for Team USA.”
