The 31-year-old, renowned for his analytical approach to the sport which earned him the nickname “The Scientist”, won the US Open at Pinehurst in June, adding to the same title he won at Winged Foot in 2020.

With two wins on the LIV Golf League and seven PGA Tour titles, as well as his two majors, DeChambeau is one of the most dynamic figures in modern-day sport, well known all over the world thanks to his unorthodox approach to the game.
From gaining weight for increased driving distance, to designing his own clubs, he is famed for the analytical approach and unique vision that has brought marginal gains and reaped rewards over the years.
Born in Modesto city of California, DeChambeau is the fifth player in history to win both the NCAA Division I championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same year. By winning the U.S. Open, he became the third player to win these three championships, after Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
