How many majors will Dechambeau win?

[sonnygolf]

EDITED MY OP! 

 

After reading about his plans to go to a 48 shaft driver I have completely changed my mind. I think he will win no less than 14. I speak from personal experience of someone who has used a 48 Shaft and gained 30yards+ minimum. And thats without custom expertise that Dechamp will be getting. I can see him driving 360 - 380 yards and overpowering every known course.  He will dominate for years to come. No amount of crying by the likes of Rory can stop him. 

 

His driving is on fire his putting is getting better and better. 

 

He will win more majors than the likes of Rory, Koepka, JT , DJ....I cant see a single player on tour who will win more than him. Not a single one!!

Two.  He'll be injured soon.

[goaliedad30]

At least one .... ?

 

I suspect his game will translate well to the British Open, and he's likely to win at least one of those.

[Naptime]

He will be tied with John Daly when he retires.

[Titleist_PT23]

500

How many majors will Mathew Wolfe win?  He'll be the next one and done.

Yep 2 more and then....

 

[golfandfishing]

Probably two or three. We ask this same question about every first time major winner and more often than not they don’t win a second one, but he will probably pick up another one or two. He’s well established enough and a proven winner. 

[miamistomp]

 Maybe 3 if he stays interested and healthy that long

   Pro golf is not a long term sport anymore--Lots of money puts out the competitive fire for many

[JDCON]

He'll win every major where he finishes first.

He def will win more than Rory, Koepka etc

Nothing is assured, but I certainly like his approach towards improving. The excessive weight gaining thing is possibly overkill, and dangerous?

Not sure this is true? I’d guess heart attack unless he loses some of that weight?

 

Otherwise, his approach is quite solid and makes sense and obviously entertaining.

Please someone explain this talk about injury. This is one of those annoying  internet rumours that have zero substance. What about this swing will lead to injury.

The equation used to calculate this is:

That is the lazy response. Tell us why he will get hurt?

 

As far as the question I suspect he will get a couple Master's. I would say 4 total majors.

[cdnglf]

current age: 27

stated life expectancy: 140
majors per year (usually): 4

 

=> 397

I think of one glaring name/example? David Duval.

I think most suspect Brooks as having perhaps some weight training injuries now?

Swinging all out like a long drive champ is NOT for the long term. Bryson has done the math there too. Trying to do this in short order, I'm sure.

I can't see it lasting. Too much body strain with the mechanics of that SP swing and what he's doing with it distance-wise. It requires the "mass" just to have a chance to survive it. We're witnessing the "final transformation" of golfers into NFL Linebacker size and the ballistics race this has become. The Woodlands, Rahms, etc. That is the size/body type getting to the top more and more as they set up the courses for those players.

And the career spans of these players will be more like that of a linebacker than Nicklaus. And they know that too. Records safe.

My opinion.  You are entitled to yours.

 

By the way, diabetes runs in his family.  He should be careful

David Duval had a host of health problems, not related to weight training.  He lost a bunch of weight when he embarked on his hyper fitness phase.  BK tore his patellar tendon and finished it off slipping on a cart path.  Not weight training.  BAD got a lot bigger, working with a personal trainer, nutritionist, and swing coach to build his body and swing.  He has bigger muscles, tendons, ligaments, which will possibly make him less prone to injury.

It's hard to say. The competition on Tour is only going to get stiffer and stiffer as time goes by.

And all for different reasons. We don't know how BAD will react, but I think 3-6 total.

[Lark]

I give it 50/50 that he wins one more, but there is only a 10% chance of that ...

3-4 before injuries, today's players will have shorter more intense careers that can't be maintained due to inevitable injuries hitting ball all out. Not just bd but many others.

[wildcatden]

19 Majors and he will be the GOAT.

[m d g]

5...

[Vardon Grip]

1 and about 18 months from now there will be the "What up w Bryson" post. 

[iBanesto]

Depends on how his body holds up and the consistency in his short game/putting.

 

To win a major you need all parts of the game to be working except driving accuracy ?
