Bryson DeChambeau makes his pro debut Thursday in Hilton Head. Now, the clock is ticking.
There are multiple avenues for DeChambeau to earn PGA Tour status for next season.
As a non-member, the 22-year-old can receive a maximum of seven sponsor exemptions. That’s why he’s in the field for this week’s RBC Heritage, as well as next week’s Valero Texas Open, and the Wells Fargo, Byron Nelson and Colonial next month. As the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, he is also exempt into the Memorial and Quicken Loans National, and those starts will not count against his seven.
