Bryson DeChambeau continues his season this week at LIV Golf Miami, which gets underway shortly at Trump National Doral.

DeChambeau feels ‘ready’ for the Masters, which gets underway at Augusta National shortly after LIV Golf Miami.

Two-time major champion DeChambeau has impressed Bubba Watson with his social media efforts of late, while on the course he occupies 16th place in the LIV Golf individual standings.

DeChambeau, the captain of Crushers GC, has finishes of T6, T18, T20 and T10 from his four LIV Golf starts in 2025 so far.

His Crushers GC side meanwhile occupy fifth in the team standings after taking on Riyadh, Adelaide, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Chris Como enjoyed ‘crazy rabbit hole’ while working with Bryson DeChambeau

DeChambeau is now back on home soil this week, at a time when renowned swing coach Chris Como has detailed working with the current US Open champion.

Speaking on The Smylie Show, Como said: “Spending time with Bryson, five years or so, was amazing. That was its own kind of crazy rabbit hole you could go down with a person.

“It was interesting with him because we worked for two years on how do you keep him in his personal sweet spot and I think he won two or three times.

“And then during Covid he was like I want to get more speed. We had talked before that, because I do a lot of stuff with a stats person, and to me it’s like where are the places that someone could find improvement and get edges in a realistic way and how does it fit the overall eco-system of their game.

“We started talking and he felt that hitting it further was a place where he could get a lot better because he was so straight off the tee. If someone is wayward you don’t have room for gains.

“With Bryson we kind of decided to do that and then during the whole lockdown, I built a lab in my house in Dallas and he started working out a bunch and we started to make some swing changes. That was such a rabbit hole and I learned so much from that experience.”

Where does Bryson DeChambeau rank for LIV Golf driving distance?

Como certainly has an impressive CV, having also worked with DeChambeau’s compatriots and fellow stars Tiger Woods and Xander Schauffele.

All three are, of course, very different players, with DeChambeau having undoubtedly focused on big hitting in recent times.

It certainly helped him clinch his second US Open title at Pinehurst last year, where he narrowly edged out Rory McIlroy.

This season has not been as successful as he would have liked so far, but he does unsurprisingly remain among the biggest hitters on LIV Golf.
