Bryson DeChambeau isn't happy that he won't be be part of the United States men's golf team for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
"Am I frustrated, disappointed? Sure, you can absolutely say that," DeChambeau said during a Monday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. "But I made the choices that I made and there's consequences to that, and I respect it, but hopefully sooner rather than later we figure that out."

Despite a victory in the U.S. Open on Sunday, DeChambeau wouldn't be able to make the Olympics due to his spot as the sixth-ranked player from the United States on the Official World Golf Ranking. Only the top four players in a country earn spots if all are within the top 15 (h/t USA Today's Cameron Jourdan).
Although the 30-year-old holds an impressive No. 10 overall ranking, he won't be heading to Paris due to his fellow countrymen ranking above him. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa are currently set to represent the United States instead.
DeChambeau's low ranking compared to his peers can be partially attributed to his status as a member of LIV Golf. LIV Golf events are not recognized by the Official World Golf Ranking, meaning that he doesn't receive any points to boost his ranking and only earns them when competing at major events.
"Hopefully one day this game of golf will get figured out and come back together, and I'll be able to play," DeChambeau added on Monday.
He was previously on the U.S. team heading into the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, although a positive COVID-19 test caused him to ultimately miss the Games.
While DeChambeau won't be participating in the Olympics, six other LIV Golf players will be heading to Paris. Jon Rahm and David Puig will be representing Spain, Joaquin Niemann will play for Chile, Adrian Meronk will represent Poland, while Carlos Ortiz and Abraham Ancer will both represent Mexico.
Despite his thrilling victory at Pinehurst Course No. 2 on Sunday, DeChambeau will not be participating in the Olympics after capturing his second major.
