A recent Golfweek story detailed how Bryson DeChambeau was visiting Ping this week to test out equipment after a dysfunctional relationship with Cobra-Puma came to an end in 2023.
Included was a mention of how DeChambeau shed tears when he was presented with the first batch of his Cobra single-length irons, which went straight into his bag. He commemorated the moment by signing the frosted glass wall in CEO Bob Philion’s office in permanent ink: ‘The day the game changed, July 13, 2016.’
That anecdote got me thinking. The 2020 U.S. Open champion has never been shy with his emotions or ideas, making him one of the most polarizing figures in the game and an incredible quote. Here are some of his best.
Dedication
“If I wanted to learn Arabic or Russian, I could. Or tie my shoes in a new way, I could. Why? Dedication,” he told Golf Digest in 2016. “I’m not really smart, but I’m dedicated. I can be good at anything if I love it and dedicate myself. And I love history. I love science. I love music. I love golf. I love learning. I love life. I love trying to be the best at anything and everything.”
This one sets the tone. DeChambeau’s confidence in himself is admirable and his work ethic is next level. He also jumps from foreign languages to tying shoes, proving you truly never know where his brain is going to go.
Bryson DeChambeau hits a shot on the 14th hole during the second round of the 2016 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
A wild week in Las Vegas
DeChambeau was in his bag with trending quotes at the 2018 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, where he claimed his fifth of eight PGA Tour wins.
Earlier in the week he explained how the “coefficient of restitution of the flagstick” will decide whether or not he chooses to leave the flagstick in while putting. Then, during his victory press conference, he explained what it means to be “neurologically comfortable.”
