After completing a strong major championship season, Bryson DeChambeau seems focused on helping Team USA win back the Ryder Cup this fall. The two-time U.S. Open winner promised to bring a “tsunami of noise” to Bethpage Black with his boisterous crowd support.
But he also vows to make plenty of noise himself. In particular, at one potential opponent.

The LIV Golf star was at the NYC premiere of “Happy Gilmore 2” earlier this week when he spoke to People Magazine about the possibility of having another showdown with Rory McIlroy, this time at the Ryder Cup.
“I’ll be chirping in his ear this time,” DeChambeau told People. “Now, if we go up against each other, I mean, you can be sure of it.”
Of course, this was in reference to DeChambeau’s disappointment in receiving the silent treatment from McIlroy during Masters Sunday. As McIlroy—and mental coach Bob Rotella—pointed out after, this was nothing personal to Bryson. Rory was just locked in on winning a long-awaited first green jacket. And it worked as McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam and avenged a heartbreaking loss to Bryson at last year’s U.S. Open.
But now Bryson is planning to tilt the talking back in his favor to try to get an edge on the five-time major champ. According to People, a laughing DeChambeau added, “I’ll get into his ear a little bit.”
As if a Ryder Cup—in New York, no less—needed any more spice. Now that 2025’s men’s major season is over, late September can’t get here soon enough for golf fans.
