Numbers don’t lie: statisticians have calculated the average age of Masters winners since 2014 and come up with the following figures: 31 years old, ranked 9.4 in the world rankings, eight appearances at Augusta National Golf Club before winning the Green Jacket. Well, that all points to Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently number 10 in the OWGR and is making his ninth appearance at Augusta this year at the age of 31. The outcome of the 89th Masters seems therefore certain – Rory McIlroy will once again fail to win the first major of the year, which would also make him a career Grand Slam winner.

DeChambeau is already looking forward to the garden party in Georgia, he has made his peace with the course, which he once disrespectfully demoted to a par-67 course and paid bitterly for it. The golfing world, on the other hand, is looking forward to BDC, who – not least thanks to his social media presence and YouTube activities – is currently probably the most popular player in professional golf.
And not least because of interludes like this one: During the second round of the LIV event in Adelaide, DeChambeau hit the ball into the bushes, on the par-5 13th at the Grange Golf Club and lost his bearings a little. What to do? Quite simple: the 31-year-old simply boarded the balcony of a house on the edge of the fairway – much to the amazement of the residents.
