Bryson DeChambeau is one of the biggest golf stars on the planet, with his approach to the sport and embracing of social media garnering many fans and attention worldwide.
Many know the two-time US Open winner from his YouTube content, but golf fans also admire the American for the ways he pushes the boundaries when it comes to equipment.

DeChambeau is one of the most open-minded players when it comes to his clubs and isn’t afraid to try out lesser-known manufacturers in an attempt to gain an advantage on the course.
A Krank driver and fairway woods feature in the top order of his current bag, while one-length Avoda irons are in the middle portion. A SIK armlock putter still remains in the set-up, despite the brand being acquired by LA Golf at the turn of the decade.
LA Golf has previously appeared in his bag in the form of irons and wedges but, where the brand stands out most, is when it comes to shafts, as all 14 of DeChambeau’s clubs possess an LA Golf shaft.
First coming to light around 2018, the 32-year-old used LA Golf shafts to decimate Winged Foot at that year’s US Open and they’ve remained ever-since, claiming another US Open crown and multiple titles on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf League along the way.
However, in a shock turn of events, DeChambeau has now severed ties with the company, which leads to the question… ‘What does he do next?’

We don’t know the details of what’s going on at LA Golf behind the scenes, but we do know that DeChambeau is no longer working with the company on an official capacity.
Speaking to Golf.com, Reed Dickens, the owner and CEO of LA Golf, stated: “Bryson and I actually have some of the same tendencies, and I have nothing but respect for him, but he has this new consultant, a McKinsey-consulting type guy, and this guy says to me that Bryson is gonna walk unless he gets 51 percent.
“Bryson’s got 2 percent of the company. And I think the guy doesn’t realize that he’s dealing with a redneck. And I say, ‘There’s no path for that.’ They played chicken with me, and now we’re going to graciously part ways.”
