Always the innovator, Bryson DeChambeau is pursuing golf’s impossible dream with LIV Golf

Despite leaving the PGA Tour for a LIV tour that nearly no one watches, the SMU product’s popularity is at an all-time high.

First, let’s get it on the record that when Bryson DeChambeau stopped by to play the 12th hole with our group at the immensely challenging Maridoe Golf Club on Thursday, all part of a preview for the LIV Golf Team Championship event coming next month, we used my drive.

Now if you want to nitpick and say we used my ball because DeChambeau tried to clear a water hazard more than 320 yards out (and did, in fact, clear it while hitting his ball into a high rough area) and that we simply settled for my 215-yard blast down the middle, well, that seems like a lot of unnecessary information.

Did he sink our 18-foot birdie putt for us? Yes, he did. And when he teed off on the next hole, feeling he owed us one, did he outdrive me by 95 yards according to the cart GPS? Also true. But those are the things Bryson has been doing for some time now, launching golf balls into parts unknown, trying to beat the game not just with practice and repetition but with physics and, at one time, a huge weight gain in search of the ultimate power drive.
