Bryson DeChambeau’s stunning stock yardages for each club in 2020
It’s well known that Bryson DeChambeau’s weight gain over the past year has resulted in remarkable distance gains driver wise, but what about his other clubs?
Talking to GolfTV, DeChambeau broke down his stock yardages for 2020, and as you can see below, the numbers are impressive across the board.
Speaking at last week’s RBC Heritage, DeChambeau broke down how his stunning distance gains afforded him different luxuries at Harbour Town, including a two club change at 17 from previous years and not having to hit driver on a par 5 to get home in two.
“It’s just a complete quantum shift for me that just allows me to go at things that I usually are not able to go at.
Just for example, I hit 3-wood, 4-iron on 5 ( par-5 542-yard hole), another one. That’s a perfect example. That’s definitely different for me. I never thought I’d be doing that in my lifetime.”
However, DeChambeau’s immense driving was tempered last week by Harbour Town’s tight fairways, with the 5-time winner on Tour not hitting his driver once during Friday’s second round (he still shot 64).
Following that round, the 26-year-old stated that he “didn’t let the Kraken out today”. But you can expect to see that change this week at the Travelers Championship.

On Friday evening, Ralph Lauren announced that they had ended their partnership with Justin Thomas after the latter uttered a homophobic slur at last week’s Tournament of Champions.
In a statement, Ralph Lauren expressed that while discontinuing their longstanding relationship, they hope that “Mr. Thomas does the hard and necessary work in order to partner with us again…using his platform to promote inclusion.”
The incident which led to JT being dropped from the brand occurred on the 4th hole during the third round of the Tournament of Champions – which you can see in the video below.

Following the third round at the Tournament of Champions, Thomas told Golf Channel:
“There’s just no excuse. I’m an adult; I’m a grown man. There’s absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that. It’s terrible. I’m extremely embarrassed. It’s not who I am. It’s not the kind of person that I am. But it’s … unfortunately I did it, and I have to own up to it, and I’m very apologetic.
Like I said, it’s inexcusable. I’m speechless. It’s bad. There’s no other way to put it. I need to do better. I need to be better. It’s definitely a learning experience. I deeply apologize to anyone, and everybody who I offended and I’ll be better because of it.”

Social media users were left bemused during round one’s coverage of the Sony Open, after seeing Tom Watson appear for an interview wearing his headphones in a frankly bizarre manner.
CBS’ Kyle Porter was quick to jump on the oddity, tweeting: “Legit never seen another human wear headphones like Tom Watson wears them.”

What followed was an all out roast where Twitter users mercilessly mocked the new fashion statement from Tom Watson with some hilarious responses.
However, Watson did receive some support, with one user declaring that: “He’s Tom Watson! He can wear them any way he wants!”
Either way, I don’t see Watson’s headphone game setting a trend anytime soon!

Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera has been arrested in Brazil and faces extradition to Argentina, after being charged with assault, theft, illegal intimidation and repeated disrespect to authorities, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Per the report, Cabrera was on Interpol’s red code list and was arrested in an upper-class area of Rio de Janeiro.
Earlier this month, Argentine media reported that Cabrera’s former wife, Silva Rivadero, had filed two charges against the golfer, while another former partner claimed Cabrera had punched her, threatened her and attempted to run her over with his car back in 2016.
The suspect’s name was not announced in the report, but per the AP, two federal police officers based in Rio separately confirmed to them that Cabrera was the man arrested.
The Argentine has been out of action on the course recently after having completed successful surgery on his wrist at the back-end of 2020.

None of the articles from GolfWRX or Golfweek, GD, etc. about this subject care to mention that he’s using one length clubs with jacked up lofts. Typical media hype.

EGO, he wants to be the longer ever, and after watching him las week he seemed totally out of control. I don’t remember him Birdieing the firs Par 5 at one time, a 503 yd Hole. He had better carry an ax with his he is in the trees so much. He would be better swing in control and still hitting it a mile, but with some sore of accuracy. Plus he will feel that out of control Driver swing he has, kind of a lunge, in fact a big lunge. But we will see what happens when he plays a long wide open course. I like the guy but he has to wake up and control his Ball..

Bryson’s clubs are incredibly strong lofted with a 7i shaft in the lower irons. No wonder he hits it that far. I hit my 4 iron 230 and it’s 23.5 degrees which is what his 5 iron is..

42 degree pitching wedge says it all. Don’t be deceived.

And it’s a 7 iron shaft. Pretty sure most guys with decent clubhead speed could hit that 160 easily.

I find it funny that he list a 47 degree wedge (my PW and most people within a degree) and a PW. I think his PW is 43 degrees. I saw his 4 iron is 18 degrees. 5 iron is 23 degrees. He plays them all the same length but the lofts are very delofted. Like at least a whole club. hitting a 47 degree wedge 147 is not that ridiculous for those guys. An 18 degree iron would go 255 for any of the longest hitters. Essential this just shows that he’s as along as Dustin, Rory and such with irons. His driver was 5.5 degrees hitting up 6 or 7 degrees. Dustin plays like a 10.5 degree driver. It’s not that crazy the distance you can hit it with that low of a loft.
