Bryson DeChambeau started using artificial intelligence (AI) as part of his golf training in 2024. Since then, he has finished in six top 10s in major championships, including one victory, as well as winning a title in LIV Golf.

“It’s literally a game-changer,” he said on the matter, according to Google Cloud’s blog.

DeChambeau’s experience began working with Sportsbox AI to do video-based AI analysis of his shots. It has been a successful strategy for him and, he said, he uses it not only in his practice sessions, but even in tournaments.

After this period as a user of this technology, DeChambeau has decided to take his evolution one step further. The two-time major champion has begun a collaboration with Google Cloud to create an AI-driven tool compatible with smartphones that will allow for real-time analysis of golf swings.

“Eventually, you’ll be able to talk to your AI assistant 24/7, any time you are thinking about your swing, any time you’re playing poorly, or playing well, you’ll be able to check in with that personalized assistant,” DeChambeau said, according to the blog post. “The AI will help steer you closer and closer to your optimal performance.”

The goal of the AI-powered tool is to build a personalized model of the golfer’s ideal swing using video analysis. Once established, the system will be able to detect even the slightest deviations from that baseline in real time, often within seconds, delivering actionable feedback directly to the player.

In DeChambeau’s case, the system used the swing with which he won the 2020 US Open as a model. The tool detected that the player’s pelvis made an incorrect micro-movement during the swing that caused his right miss. It was a detail that was imperceptible to both him and his swing coach, as well as to traditional video analysis.

Identifying and correcting this problem helped him win his second US Open title in 2024, as well as improving his overall performance.

However, DeChambeau made it clear that he does not see this new tool as a substitute for golf coaches.

“Do I believe that AI can change how golf is fundamentally coached? One hundred percent,” he said, according to the blog post. “I think it’s the future. I don’t think AI is going to take over the role of coaching, but I can see it being a supplement to coaches from here on out. It’s a great tool in the toolbox.”

There is still no scheduled release date for this tool.
