NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. -- Bryson DeChambeau finds himself heading home early from another major tournament, marking the second consecutive time this season. Unlike his dramatic collapse at the Masters, this time he faltered with a Thursday score of 76, ultimately finishing 7 over par and missing the cut by three shots at the 2026 PGA Championship.

DeChambeau entered the championship eager to reaffirm his status amid the uncertainties surrounding LIV Golf. However, his performance only deepened the questions about his game and future. His struggles on the course were evident, particularly with his iron and wedge play, as he finished well outside the top 100 in both strokes gained approach and around the green.

Despite spending hours trying to regain his feel, he seemed far from a breakthrough. The only positive from his outing was a late surge, finishing his round with three consecutive birdies. Looking ahead, he will next compete at the U.S. Open, where he is a two-time champion, hoping to regain momentum.

DeChambeau was not alone in his disappointment at Aronimink. A host of notable players also missed the cut, including:

• Michael Block (+5)
• Sungjae Im (+5)
• Akshay Bhatia (+5)
• Russell Henley (+5)
• Tommy Fleetwood (+5)
• Robert MacIntyre (+5)
• Garrick Higgo (+5)
• Wyndham Clark (+5)
• J.J. Spaun (+6)
• Viktor Hovland (+6)
• Keegan Bradley (+6)
• Gary Woodland (+6)
• Tyrrell Hatton (+6)
• Bryson DeChambeau (+7)
• Adam Scott (+8)
• Max Homa (+12)

Michael Block, starting the day at even par, fell off the pace with two late bogeys. Others like Henley, Fleetwood, and Im entered with high expectations but failed to deliver. Garrick Higgo faced a two-stroke penalty for being late to his tee time, which ultimately cost him a chance to play over the weekend.
