Bryson DeChambeau admitted that he used AI to improve his form, having finished third at the latest LIV Golf tournament in South Korea.The American missed the cut at the PGA Championship and the Masters, but shot 11-under-par in the latest tournament he played in.The LIV Golf star said he was having issues with his swing, feeling like his hands were getting ahead of his body.DeChambeau said: “The beginning of the first round, I felt great. Golf swing felt in sync, and then it started getting out of sync.”[My] hands just felt like they were moving forward like this, and I couldn’t get the club to turn over. “Even if I tried to stop it here, it still wouldn’t turn over. I didn’t actually figure it out on the range.”DeChambeau admitted he turned to using Google Gemini to help improve his form.He said: “I was talking to AI quite a bit last night, trying to go through some different physics principles that make the club turn over, having some alpha torque and gamma torque put in there.Bryson DeChambeau used AI to improve his golf swing | REUTERS”I came out here today with just a little bit more freer hands, and I felt the club a lot better, and I felt like I could close the club a lot more effectively and then I started striping it.”I feel like I’m on the right path now.”DeChambeau’s success in South Korea scooped him at least $1.5million (£1.1m) for finishing third.His Crushers’ side became the league’s outright leaders with the most team victories.DeChambeau said: ‘I feel like I’m on the right path now’ | REUTERSSpeaking afterwards about his side, the American said he was “grateful, super grateful that I’ve got amazing guys, an amazing team”.He continued: “We all click in different ways, but we all work to make our team the best out here.”Commenting on his own performance, DeChambeau said: “There were times where it felt amazing and times where it just leaked on me a little bit.”I had my ‘A’ game on 11 and pushed it right on 12, and that’s one of those things I’ve been trying to fix all year.DeChambeau scooped £1.1m for finishing third in South Korea | REUTERS”More work to be done, but a little push on 18. I gave myself some chances, just wasn’t my day today.”The future of LIV Golf remains in limbo, following Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) announcing it would cut its funding for the league at the conclusion of the 2026 season.DeChambeau said he remains “optimistic” about the future despite PIF withdrawing its funding.He said: “We didn’t really see that [PIF ending funding] coming, but that’s okay. One door closes, another opens – I think that’s the way a lot of us are looking at it.”I think we all have optimism that there is a business plan that makes sense for team golf. I’m very optimistic with the business plan of team golf compared to other models, in my opinion.”
