Bryson DeChambeau Shared Moving Tribute to Dad, Who Died in 2022

After struggling to figure out Augusta National in his first few passes, despite suggesting the course was a par 67, Bryson DeChambeau has turned around his Masters fortunes.

In his past two appearances at Augusta National Golf Club, the two-time major winner has finished tied for sixth place and tied for fifth place. He enters this week's tournament as one of the betting favorites with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy.

Bryson DeChambeau Shares Moving Tribute to Dad

Just two weeks before the start of the Masters, DeChambeau shared a moving tribute for his father, Jon, in an Instagram video post with a letter to his father in the caption.

"Dad, there was a lot you taught me that I didn’t fully understand at the time. Your advice always sounded simple, but the older I get, the more I realize how much depth was behind it," DeChambeau said in the caption of the post.

DeChambeau admitted the path to becoming a two-time major winner wasn't simple, but the lessons learned from his father stayed with him through his career achievements.

"You always reminded me that life isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about taking things one step at a time," he said. "Whenever things felt overwhelming, you’d remind me to just keep going, to focus on the next step in front of me."

The LIV Golf admitted the advice "sounds small" but meant everything to the player he's become.

"No matter where life takes me, I still hear that in the back of my mind. It always reminds me to take the next right step. And to never stop moving forward. Keep going," he concluded.

Jon DeChambeau Suffered From Diabetes, Kidney Failure Before Death

DeChambeau's father died in November 2022 and while an official cause of death wasn't announced, he struggled with diabetes for nearly 30 years.

After being diagnosed in the early 1990s, DeChambeau's health took a turn when the disease caused both of his kidneys to fail by 2014. He went on to have multiple surgeries related to his diabetes including a foot surgery that landed him in a wheelchair for his son's Masters debut in 2016.

Before his death, DeChambeau had to have his left leg amputated due to complications from the disease.
