Bryson DeChambeau surprised all of us when he turned up on the tee at the Saudi International – his first competitive start of 2023 – wielding a TaylorMade Stealth 2 driver.
He has also, according to Golfweek, been spotted visiting Ping’s headquarters to test the Scottsdale brand’s gear.
We know what you’re thinking: isn’t he a Cobra staffer? And you’d be correct. But according to a spokesman for the brand with which DeChambeau has been associated his entire career, his contract came to an end in December and the two parties are working on a new contract moving forward.
For now, though, the American is free to experiment. And given his prowess off the tee – he was the PGA Tour’s longest driver in his last couple of seasons before switching to LIV – the next few weeks will be interesting.
While DeChambeau decides what to put in the bag for the upcoming LIV Golf season, here’s what he had in the bag previously…
