Bryson DeChambeau says he’s been working on something new behind the scenes, an AI based coaching tool he believes could change how golfers train. Speaking ahead of LIV Golf Adelaide, the two time U.S. Open champion revealed he has spent much of his offseason working with Sportsbox.
The focus has been on making instruction more precise, especially when it comes to small swing details that are often difficult to measure. While he continued his usual speed training, he also focused heavily on improving his iron play and wedge control with the help of artificial intelligence.
Thanks for the submission!
“I’ve got something coming that I can’t wait to have,” Bryson DeChambeau said of his new coaching aid.
“Hopefully I’ll have it for Hong Kong and that three-week stint, and it’ll be something that greatly improves my iron play and wedges. We’ll see. You never know.
“It just comes from practicing a little earlier and getting with my coach Dana and working hard with Sportsbox a lot. It’s been fun working with Sportsbox.
“We’re about to unveil something pretty special with AI so I’m pumped about it. It’ll be incredibly helpful in dire times of need to be even more specific than pretty much any coach out there.”
Though he did not share full details, DeChambeau suggested the tool focuses on swing sequencing, speed generation and face alignment. He believes it could raise the level of precision available to players during practice.
“It’s great. I can’t wait to have that here soon,” he added. “It’s right on the cusp of changing the game of golf from an instruction standpoint. I’m really pumped about that.
“But I’ve been using that and really working on my sequencing for speed and also alignment of the face, and it’s done pretty well, but just got to dial it in.”
Trying new ideas has always been part of how Bryson DeChambeau operates. From tweaking equipment to changing the way he trains, he rarely sticks to the usual path. This AI project feels like a continuation of that mindset.
The 40-year-old has often turned to new methods to find small advantages and this marks another step in that direction.
Bryson DeChambeau’s earlier AI venture with Google Cloud
Bryson DeChambeau’s interest in artificial intelligence did not begin this week. In September 2025 he teamed up with Google Cloud to push deeper into the world of data-driven performance. One of the early ideas was to create a version of his AI coach that could eventually run on a smartphone, giving him near instant feedback even before a round.
“I’m actually making interpretations and iterating on my golf swing with the data that’s presented to me, minutes before my tee time,” DeChambeau said at the time.
As he leaned further into video-based AI analysis DeChambeau admitted it changed how he understood his own swing. Feel and reality were not always the same.
“I could feel a certain way, right, but that perception doesn’t always meet reality,” he explained in an interview.
What seemed technically sound was, in some cases, costing him shots. The data revealed details the naked eye could not. His curiosity around AI started building in the months leading up to the U.S. Open and quickly expanded beyond swing mechanics.
Over time DeChambeau began exploring how the technology could influence not just performance but also the broader business and lifestyle side of his career. That led to a formal partnership with Google Cloud.
“Google is one of the most important technology companies in the world, and I think they are the future of AI,” Bryson DeChambeau said.
“And as someone very much interested in that future, especially as it intersects with sports, I was very excited to get to work with Google Cloud.”
While continuing to test new tools behind the scenes Bryson DeChambeau is also in contention on the course. At LIV Golf Adelaide he sits third after two rounds at 11 under par following rounds of six under on Thursday and five under on Friday.
