Only a few months later, when he won the American Amateur Championship, he made more history.

The beginning of a career
After playing the 2016 Masters, De Chambeau turned into a professional player and signed a long-term agreement with Cobra-Puma Golf. A few days later, he made his debut at RBC Heritage, tied for fourth place, earning approximately US$260,000. After that, he entered the US Open and tied for 15th. Although he was unable to qualify for the 2017 PGA Tour, De Chambeau was able to win a place in the finals of the Web.com Tour. Thanks to his victory in the DAP tournament, he managed to get his card. A major victory followed. DeChambeau defeated Patrick Rogers by one shot at the John Deere Classic in July 2017 and won his first PGA Tour championship. The following summer, he won a sudden death playoff at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, which gave him his second tour victory. Significant victories have since been achieved, including victories in the Northern Trust and the Dell Technical Championship. The latter’s victory put DeChambeau ahead of second player Dustin Johnson by more than 2,000 points in the FedEx Cup rankings and made him the number one seed player in the Tour Championship. However, after finishing 19th in the Tour Championship, De Chambeau fell to third in the FedEx Cup.

Custom cue

Arguing with officials
During his career, DeChambeau has participated in some controversial interactions with rule officials. At the 2020 Memorial Tournament, after one of his shots went out of bounds under the fence, he argued that only part of the ball went out of bounds and he should be allowed to kick the ball. However, Ken Tackett, the PGA Tour rules official, worked against him. Two weeks later, at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, De Chambeau argued that there were red ants around the ball he shot near the root of the tree. Due to the potential danger of ants, he requested a free landing and argued with the official Kentuckett again for nearly three minutes. In the end, he was forced to play from where the ball was.
