Imagine a scenario where Bryson DeChambeau is on the range for a LIV Golf event. Perhaps he’d be all alone. And so it would look like he was talking to himself — thinking aloud about his swing ahead of a tournament. But he’d be thinking aloud with some … thing. He’d be speaking with AI designed to provide coaching tips to generate the purest swing possible.
He’d hit a ball in an unintended direction. And then he’d check in. The back-and-forth might go something like this:
DeChambeau: Shoot, what went wrong there?
AI: Well Bryson, your head appeared to dip two inches lower than your typical shot in the best-swing data set.
Bryson DeChambeau is one of the longest hitters in golf.
It’s a future that’s not so far off, according to Sportsbox AI and Google, the companies that collaborate with the star golfer. It’s a future that DeChambeau said he’s interested in. DeChambeau is always thinking about what’s next. About change. About the future. And so it should come as no surprise that he’s already using AI every week with an eye on the present and the future.
“AI is going to throw quite a big wrench in the whole ecosystem of golf,” DeChambeau said in a press conference where DeChambeau announced Crushers GC’s partnership with Qualcomm, a wireless company.
How, exactly?
Well, DeChambeau explained how it’s helping him.
“How the ball is launching off of the ground would be one. Pressure-sensing grip [would be another]… And then using AI and measuring your body optics on only one video that when you are doing it good, then to see that you are spoiling it. And how to get an AI that talks to you like a golf coach, is very interesting for me, “he said.
At this time, DechaMbeau receives their answers from Google and Sportsbox AI. The latter, in particular, helps golfers and coaches to answer questions about why some work is not working. But the process takes time. Nothing is real time-still. The most famous use case came in June 2024 when Decombo approached Sportsbox AI for the first time. He went with a question about the discrepancies that were trying to make him a draw hit. Sportsbox gave him three answers – three parts of the swing – that he needed to manage to fix his swing.
And you will remember what happened next: Decombo won the US Open.
Bryson Decombo captured the 124th US Open in Pineharst in 2024.
Sportsbox AI has helped four of the world’s top 10 golfers, either working with a player or player’s coach.
But no Pro Golfer has taken AI to AI in golf.
“Bryson is definitely the one who has been excluded in its process in an official way, a week and in the week,” said Jeehe Lee, Sportsbox AI founder and former LPGA Pro. “Some other players can use it in their lessons, just looking at their products, but we are not providing them this deep-grazing data analysis [like DeChambeau],
Thousands of swing have been recorded in the Sportsbox Archives at DechaMbeau – more than any other golfer. And this is his swing that is training the model to make the type of AI coach which gives the decombo interesting.
“We are downloading data, instead of recording swing, and our data science team is analyzing to answer its question,” said Lee. “He [process] Any AI agent is being made in the product just like a tool, which are outside there. You are able to interact with it in such a way that you will do a very human language question with a human. ‘Hey, he was the last one bad. What happened?’ And we are able to say, ‘Okay, depending on that last thing, compared to your best swing data sets, these were the top three things that were very different.’ ,
For now, Google and Sportsbox AI have a device for elite golfers. But with the associate efforts of Dacombo, they are working to create a tool that can help every skill level golfars to improve their swing.
Lee reiterated that Sportsbox AI did not want to observe the human swing coach. But the company is working to create a support system for the coaches to help them do the best possible work for their players.
“Data will answer you faster than any human. And this is nothing that will defame or disappoint any human work,” Lee said. “It is only going to elevate everyone’s work in the golf industry, so the way we are running is.”
When it comes to golf, decombo is the king of data. He, finally, crazy scientists, who operates after experiment – for example, for example, Dip your balls in water To see how moisture affects spin rate. So it makes the right understanding dechambeau is searching for a data-manual, disruptive technique.
“It is helping me understand my golf swing at a deep level,” said Decombo.
Bryson decombo is learning how AI can also improve its insert.
Dechambeau was asked what is the most new job. And he said that he “discovered that the distance I had made should hit it directly.” This is the thing for which everyone knows him: his driver and his distance. But he also felt that he was also innovative with his vessel. And this is another area where AI is used to take answers, the way he gets closer to the game with cleverness on the greens.
But there is to work there, too.
“Currently what we struggle with, especially when only a certain amount of frame rate, eg, how we can divide information and use not only AI, to help interpret, to help interpret the frame in the middle, to obtain it, to like 750, to like 750, 750 [per second] But then, how do you get that technique and how do you see it more accurately over time?
There is a place for development. There is a place to learn. But decombo, perhaps more than any golfer, is for it.
“Live Golf is innovative,” he said. “We are innovators. Crusher – We are innovators.”
