As the scientist of golf, Bryson DeChambeau relied mostly on the technical aspects of the sport.

How will the change affect Bryson DeChambeau?

“They took a process that I’ve done for 13 years, and numerous other people have done for a long time and nixed it,” said DeChambeau

“It is what it is. I can’t say much more about it other than it’s a bit disappointing because I think there’s a lot more traction around the hole now and people are standing around the hole. Whether that has an effect, I don’t know,” he added.

Bryson explained that it took him 13 years to figure out his gameplay. The people who work with him rely on the numbers and use them to improve his game all these years. So, the change the PGA Tour had brought got him hard.
