Bryson DeChambeau calls with Titleist after PGA Championship pain with Tierist Tireker Golf Ball
The T2 championship at the PGA Championship last weekend was too familiar to Bryson DeChambeau.
It can be said that there should be more major trophys in his cabinet – let's look at the numbers.
- Five top six in his last six major starts.
- Second place back to back in the PGA Championship.
- There are four top 5 in his last 5 PGA championships.
This weekend's narrative at Quail Hollow is so close so far.
After all his recent intimate contacts, his courage to fail stands out – raw, open and transparent.
But it seems that the second place in the latest pain may be Bryson DeChambeau’s scientific golf tweaking that could help him overcome the final hurdle.
High ball flight, low rotation and large distance
DeChambeau built his long bomb, aggressive golf game around science, which paid off for years.
But you don't have to be a scientist to figure out the golf ball he needs when shortening the track in the week – golf flight, low spin and large distances that can cope, reward and effectively respond to hitting around the golf course.
Liff golfers played Bridgestone golf for years, but in 2023 he switched to a manufacturer that used 101 players in the 2025 PGA Championship.
He has been playing Titleist Prov1x left DASH golf since 2023.
Another scientific decision was the absurd swing speed that suited him, providing a firmer feel to the stable feeling of lower spin.
The decision proved valid, a key part of his second U.S. Open win at Pinehurst in 2024, when he hit the ball with great strength and ability.
Still, like all golf, they have pros and cons, and Bryson has since fought against the ball in softer conditions.
He is trying out the standard Titleist Pro V1, which is softer and provides more rounded and balanced performance in the course.

We all need a flying ball.
After the T2 ended in Charlotte on Sunday, Dechambeau said the science behind his ball could be one of the key factors behind out-of-control champion Scottie Scheffler, arguing that he needed a ball and admits he was struggling in adverse circumstances.
But science is not everyone's business, so let's simplify that.
As the swing speed usually exceeds 190 mph, the ball lasts longer, thus affecting factors such as wind or slightly low point contact, larger factors on the outcome.
For those shootings of wedges and iron with accuracy, these external factors can be more destructive.
“Everyone is talking about the flying of golf balls.
“The ball side was spinning a lot because our golf ball was longer in the air and was hit a lot by the wind.
“I really think what needs to happen is very transparent here and just get a golf ball and it’s flying a little straightforward.
“It all depends on manufacturing. We'll see what's going on, but I'm keen to find something, I'm keen to improve.”

What's next for scientists?
Many people will think this may be the heated comments at the moment. When things don't go, we all need a flying ball, don't we?
But DeChambeau's willingness to experiment and find an advantage in his swing and equipment, which everyone can see–if we see some tweaks in his bag when we return to his thriving profession, we see some tweaks in his bag.
Oakmont is the course he enjoys and will be the third major venue for the season as the U.S. Open takes place from June 12 to 15, a tournament he has won twice in the past five years.
Dustin Johnson is known for his active, long-time competition, winning the 2016 U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club.
Can the new ball specification be the card Bryson needs to play to overcome the lines and secure the third major championship card?
