But if his score holds, DeChambeau's missed cut in 2026 would mark the third time, and first since 2019, that he has failed to play into the third round of a PGA Championship. Sitting at +10 after two rounds, that would be DeChambeau's worst career score at the event.
In 2018 when he missed the cut, DeChambeau sat at +1, and in 2019, he missed the cut at +6.
Bryson DeChambeau's worst major performances
Both of DeChambeau's performances at the 2026 majors so far are among his worst.
However, it's unlikely he'll top his worst-ever score at a major, which is a tie between two tournaments — first, at the 2017 Open Championship. DeChambeau, playing in the fifth major of his young career, scored a +13 at that event, missing the cut. Then, he also posted a +13 at the 2022 U.S. Open, imploding over the weekend after a fine start.
In 2026, DeChambeau has now missed the cut at +6 at The Masters and is tracking to do the same by sitting at +10 at the PGA Championship.
Here's a look at his worst career scores at a major:
