Bryson Dechambeau WITB 2025 (13th April, 2025) - What's In The Bag? The Masters 2025 @ Augusta National

A 6° driver. That’s not a typo. Bryson’s basically hitting missiles with this Krank beast. Paired with the ultra-stiff LA Golf Bryson Series shaft, it’s all about speed, spin control, and pure chaos.

Bryson DeChambeau: The Mad Scientist Meets Magnolia Lane

If you melted down a physics textbook, added protein powder, and shaped it into a golfer, you'd get Bryson DeChambeau. He’s part golfer, part cyborg, and fully convinced that every shot is a math equation. Known as “The Scientist” (or the guy who brings a protractor to the range), Bryson has built his career on doing things differently — bulkier, brainier, and occasionally borderline bonkers.

DeChambeau, born in Modesto, California, first lit up the amateur scene by winning the NCAA Individual Championship and the U.S. Amateur in 2015 — a feat only accomplished by legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. But while those guys oozed natural talent, Bryson oozed angles. Fast forward to the PGA Tour, and he’s added bulk, speed, and enough TrackMan data to make NASA jealous.

And what’s his deal with the Masters? Well, it’s been… complicated. In 2020, Bryson famously declared Augusta National was a “par 67” for him. Bold words. Augusta clapped back with a double bogey on his first hole of the week and a T34 finish that made Twitter eat him alive. Since then, he’s had a rocky road at Augusta — missing the cut in 2022 and finishing T46 in 2023. But Bryson being Bryson, he’s undeterred, doubling down on speed, spin rates, and carrying the ball 370 into the stratosphere.

Love him or loathe him, Bryson at Augusta is box office. If anyone’s going to one-hop a 5-iron onto the 13th green and claim it was a controlled fade with a spin axis of -2.7, it’s him.

Bryson DeChambeau WITB 2024 – The Lab Rat’s Arsenal

Driver: Krank Formula Fire Pro 6°, LA Golf Bryson Series shaft
A 6° driver. That’s not a typo. Bryson’s basically hitting missiles with this Krank beast. Paired with the ultra-stiff LA Golf Bryson Series shaft, it’s all about speed, spin control, and pure chaos.

Mini Driver: Krank Formula Fire FW 13°, LA Golf Bryson Series shaft
Yes, he carries both a driver and a mini driver. Because of course he does. The mini gives him a blend of distance and control for those tight tee shots where nuking it 380 isn’t ideal (read: hole 10 at Augusta).

3 Wood: Krank Formula Fire 13°, LA Golf Bryson Series shaft
Same loft as the mini driver — different head, different purpose. Bryson’s 3-wood is more like a backup driver than a finesse club.

Irons: Avoda Prototype (5-PW), LA Golf Bryson Series shafts
Single-length. Chunky. Engineered within an inch of their lives. Bryson’s Avoda irons are all the same length and dialed in for launch and gapping. It’s not art — it’s geometry.

Wedges: Ping Glide 4.0 45° (12S), 50° (12S), 56°, 60°, LA Golf Bryson Series shafts
Wedges with Bryson’s signature LA Golf shafts. Heavy, stiff, and precise. He’s using a Ping Glide setup that gives him all the spin without sacrificing his launch calculations.

Putter: SIK Pro C-Series Armlock/LA Golf Proto with a LA Golf C2L-180 shaft, JumboMax JumboFlat 17 grip
The armlock putter is a physics project. The SIK face tech adds loft dynamically, the LA Golf shaft keeps everything stiff and stable, and the JumboMax grip is the size of a salami. This thing’s a math nerd’s Excalibur.

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash
Low spin off the tee, high performance on greens. Bryson’s go-to rocket ball.

Grips: JumboMax UltraLight XL grips
The biggest grips in golf. His pinky finger is living rent-free in luxury.

Bryson’s 2024 Masters Outlook – Bombs, Brains, and Maybe Redemption

Could this be the year Bryson finally figures out Augusta? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing’s for sure — we’re all watching.

The 2024 season has been a quieter, more focused chapter for Bryson. Since fully committing to LIV Golf, he’s turned down the noise, leaned into his equipment partnerships, and trimmed down slightly — no more Hulk-mode, just high-efficiency speed. And crucially, he’s been healthy.

Augusta still requires artistry, but Bryson’s version of artistry involves aerodynamics, ball speeds in the 190s, and 200-yard 9-irons. If the course stays firm, he could have an edge by flying bunkers and taking lines that make traditionalists twitch. His new irons and dialed driver setup mean tighter dispersion. If his putter heats up? Look out.

Mentally, DeChambeau seems to be in a good place. Gone is the twitchy, overthinking vibe — he’s more measured, more strategic. His pre-shot routines are shorter (barely), and he’s relying more on feel than formulas in some parts of the game.

The biggest question mark? The greens. Augusta’s undulating surfaces can make robots cry. Bryson’s armlock stroke is consistent, but he hasn’t shown elite touch here yet. If he can survive Thursday and find some confidence early, he’s dangerous.

All eyes will be on how he plays the par-5s. Bryson has the potential to reduce Augusta’s longest holes to mid-irons and wedges. That’s where he can make his move — eagle chances, two-putt birdies, and fireworks. But if he gets too aggressive or too cute with his math, the course will remind him who’s boss.

Realistically? A top-10 is on the cards. A win? It’s not impossible. But Bryson would have to thread the needle — mix strategy with strength, patience with power. Either way, it’s going to be electric.
