Bryson DeChambeau might be renowned for getting the ball to travel a mile off the tee but he’s also pretty sharp with his short-game as well.

DeChambeau has developed himself into one of the most well-rounded players in golf and he consistently represents LIV Golf in the majors in the best way he can.

As we all know, DeChambeau’s big weapon is his ability to drive the ball further than most.

Over the years, we’ve seen countless bits of advice from DeChambeau on how to get the ball going a long way and in the main, those tips are vital.

However, while distance and power is the name of the game for DeChambeau in the main, he’s also more than adept at getting up and down and his tip from getting out of the deep rough from 2024 is a golden nugget of information for amateurs.

In 2025 alone we’ve seen some seriously tricky rough to deal with, with courses like Oakmont and Royal Portrush providing stern tests for the world’s best.

When it comes to finding the thickest rough, most amateurs find it a massive struggle to get the ball out.

Thankfully though, DeChambeau has explained in simple terms just how to get yourself out of trouble.

“So tip number one…don’t ever be here. But tip number two, you have to play it like a bunker shot,” DeChambeau explains.

“Don’t open the face too much, keep it a little square and just feel like it’s more of a bunker explosion shot and so it pops up and then just rolls out.”

Bryson DeChambeau’s short-game stats in 2025

Over on the LIV Golf scene, while Bryson DeChambeau leads the field in driving distance, he also leads the field when it comes to scrambling.

DeChambeau sits at number one on that list with a conversion rate of just over 65%. In fact, he’s the only player on LIV to sit north of 65% so it’s little wonder he does so well.

The PGA Tour has little in the way of information given the American has played just the four majors this season.

However, Datagolf shows DeChambeau to be in the positives when it comes to strokes gained per approach shot, while he’s also above the level he was at in 2024 for strokes gained around the green, showing a marked improvement.
