Golf legend Nick Faldo unloads scathing criticism on Bryson DeChambeau amid major tournament struggles

Nick Faldo can still let it fly with the best of them.

Faldo, a six-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Famer, teed off on Bryson DeChambeau. The 68-year-old golfer blasted the LIV Golf star for his strategy, or lack thereof, on the golf course ahead of The Open at Royal Birkdale.

“That’s a whole part of the story, how they’re superstars at LIV then come over and can’t do it. So that’s all another story. Then they go back to be superstars. He has — I’d say it to his face — he has zero clue of strategy,” Faldo told Sky Sports.

The three-time Open champion referenced a quote from DeChambeau from a year ago, citing the 32-year-old’s error in strategy.

“He said it last year I think on TV: ‘I’m going to go out and attack the links.’ Well, I’ve never attacked a links. You thread it, don’t you? You feed it down the fairway,” Faldo said.

“You look at humps and bumps and what have you and think, ‘If I send it over and feed it, it nudges back into play.’ You don’t think, ‘I’ll just bomb it down there, can’t see where I’m going, it’s 20 yards wide.’ Oh yeah, good luck.”

Faldo called out DeChambeau for his stubbornness and unwillingness to alter his strategy.

“I mean, on all this, even if you hit it fantastic, it lands on the corner of a divot, you still miss the fairway. So, you’ve got to think, how do I get it on the short grass? It is so important, and he’ll stand up and just keep bombing away,” Faldo said.

DeChambeau has had an inauspicious start to this major season, as he missed the cut at The Masters, The U.S. Open and PGA Championship. DeChambeau qualified for this year’s Open Championship after finishing in the top 10 last year.

He will need to prove Faldo wrong and turn his play around in the first couple of rounds at The Open in order to make the cut at a major tournament this year.

DeChambeau also needs a strong performance at golf’s final major of the year if he wants to earn anything near the gargantuan $500 million deal he reportedly is seeking upon the expiration of his LIV Golf contract.
