Is Bryson DeChambeau starting his own equipment company?

Everything you missed on Tuesday at the British Open

Bryson DeChambeau is no stranger to unique equipment for his setup but is there something more to come from the two-time US Open champion?

Sat in the press conference center at Royal Troon, Bryson DeChambeau is a confident figure. The recently-crowned US Open victor has every reason to carry himself in that way, having proven every decision he’s made, both with his career decisions and his take on how golf equipment should be thought about.

With what some might consider to be a borderline dogmatic approach to his golf club design, I was curious to see if he saw his equipment changes and decisions as something just for his own benefit or if there were elements he’d like to see become available for your everyday golfer.

“Would I like to see it more in play around the world and across different amateurs and different levels? Absolutely! That’s the main goal.” said the Texan native. “It’s not just going to be unique to me. It needs to be built for the individual.”

So does he think what he plays can work for the average golfer?

“Everybody’s game, everybody’s swing is different. That’s what makes this game so amazing! You can somebody that looks completely awful with their golf swing just absolutely pure it, and then you have somebody that has a perfect golf swing just can’t hit the face at all.”

With his technology knowledge of both the swing and design philosophy then, could Bryson soon be looking at bringing some of the pieces he plays with to market; and would they be under a brand name directly associated with him?

“You might be seeing something later today, or tomorrow, on that. I’ll give you more when I can. Certainly, we’re working on some things.”

An incredibly tantalizing statement from the enigmatic American, and one devotees to his particular golf club religion will be glad to hear. Equipment and Bryson go hand-in-hand whether shafts, grips, or his impressive new irons – approved the week before Augusta National’s famous competition.

“…building a piece of golf equipment that works for the individual is incredibly important, and that’s what I’ve personally realized, and I hope to transition over to the public golfer. We’re working on that. It should be soon, should be sometime soon.”

Whether this will be a partnership with another brand like his well-known Cobra deal, or if it bears his name we still await to see.

But for me, I don’t think I’ll have much of a problem if come the next few months I can say ‘I play BAD Golf’.
