Bryson DeChambeau is putting together a solid season at LIV Golf, and is looking to carry some of that momentum into the Masters this week in pursuit of the first green jacket of his career.
DeChambeau is second in the LIV Golf standings behind Jon Rahm. But he enters Augusta National with back-to-back wins in Singapore and South Africa. Heading into the first major of the golf season, DeChambeau has something new in his bag.

He will use a 5 iron made with a 3D printer. It is a club he has built himself.
“There’s this nature that I have about myself where innovation is a habit for me, and I really find and take pride in that ability to learn — even through failure, even by making a bad decision or a good decision — what I can get out of it,” he told ESPN.
“We’ll see where it goes. We’ll see where it takes me. All I could say now is if I don’t put them in the bag, it’s my fault now.”
DeChambeau had manufacturing deals with LA Golf and Cobra. According to ESPN, his deal with Cobra ended in February.
Juggling his clubs isn’t a new strategy for DeChambeau. He said he had been toying with the idea of building his own clubs for a few years and was trying out a new wedge when he won in South Africa.

DeChambeau has had progressively better finishes at Augusta National since making his first appearance in 2019. Since missing the cut in 2023, he finished sixth in 2024 and tied for fifth in 2025. He missed the cut in 2022 and 2023.
“I feel like my game is at the best point of my career, outside of maybe the Greenbrier (in 2023), when I shot 58,” he said. “I’m excited to get the week going and see where I can place.”
He said his recent performances at the Masters were attributed to a more measured approach.
“More patience, like not being so aggressive all the time. Knowing where to be aggressive and when not to be aggressive,” he said. “Making better decisions, having a caddy rein me in sometimes.”
