PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. When scanning the list of 21 first-time participants this week at The Players Championship, one set of credentials stands out above the rest.For many players, a trip to TPC Sawgrass serves as a precursor to playing and contending in majors. Not so for Bryson DeChambeau, who forged a unique path to his first Stadium Course appearance.DeChambeau got into a couple majors thanks to his 2015 U.S. Amateur win, and three more with his victory last summer at the John Deere Classic. In total he has already played in seven majors, making the cut in four of them, before ever making his Players debut.Its kind of weird, I know, DeChambeau said. I think its a huge benefit to have that under my belt, especially having played well in a few of the majors and contending in a few. Look, Ive played well in enough events to be comfortable out here in any situation I think, besides going down the stretch with the lead in a major or something like that.

That comfort level has been on full display in recent weeks, as DeChambeau has become a staple on PGA Tour leaderboards. His fourth-place finish at last weeks Wells Fargo Championship was his fourth top-5 finish of the year, and his third in the last four starts including his runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T-3 finish at the RBC Heritage.After a streaky start to his pro career, the key to consistency has been easy for the 24-year-old to identify.Its a combination of my driving and putting, DeChambeau said. When those two line up, its game on for me. Thats where I can jump to another league, if those two line up.DeChambeaus recent success has also put him into contention to make his Ryder Cup debut this fall. Hes now 12th on the American points list, up three spots from last week, with the top eight after the PGA Championship qualifying automatically.While some players try to shield themselves from such point races this early in the year, DeChambeau is embracing his newfound status.Im excited, and I know I have a great chance to do it, he said. Everybodys fighting for those last few spots, and for me, I know Im right there and I know it. Ive just got to keep playing well in these big events.One key to getting up to speed this year has been DeChambeaus ability to bend the ear of a certain 14-time major champ. Tiger Woods and DeChambeau played together both Tuesday and Wednesday at TPC Sawgrass, in a practice round trio rounded out by Harold Varner III, as Woods and DeChambeau have become unlikely but consistent practice partners.The one thing I can say is that he really cares. Not just about how hes playing, but he cares about how the young guns are coming up and playing, and I really appreciate that from him, DeChambeau said. He still wants to kick our butt like crazy. Whenever he hits it past me, hes always nudging me, saying the old farts hitting it farther than the young gun. Hes still got that competitive fire, and I look forward to competing with him for a long time.
