Every golfer knows how frustrating it is when your swing is off and you can’t pinpoint the problem. From consulting an instructor, to overanalyzing swing footage and even searching the internet for answers, nothing is off limits if it means getting your game back on track. As we’ve recently learned, this concept doesn’t only extend to amateurs.
In a press conference with Crushers GC following their team win at LIV Golf Korea, Bryson DeChambeau revealed that he used Gemini, Google’s Artificial Intelligence assistant, ahead of the final round as a last-minute tool to help identify flaws in his swing mechanics.
According to DeChambeau, his swing issues started to arise at the end of his first round. He explained that it felt like his hands were getting ahead of his body, which made it hard for him to turn the club over.
“The beginning of the first round I felt great. Golf swing felt in sync and then it started getting out of sync,” he said.
“[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,” DeChambeau continued.
After battling swing issues for the next two rounds, he realized the problem wasn’t going to work itself out. So, the Crushers GC Captain spent a few hours on the range following Saturday’s third round to diagnose and correct flaws in his swing mechanics — but his breakthrough never came.
“I didn’t actually figure it out on the range,” DeChambeau said.
That’s when he turned to Gemini.
“I was talking to AI quite a bit last night trying to go through some different physics principles that makes the club turn over, having some alpha torque and gamma torque put in there,” he said.
After working with Gemini, DeChambeau seemingly identified the cause of his swing struggles — noting grip pressure and tension as two contributing factors.
“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,” DeChambeau said.
“I feel like I’m on the right path now,” he said.
With the 2026 U.S. Open, at Shinnecock Hills, just weeks away, it will be interesting to see if DeChambeau can keep up this momentum and get his game trending in the right direction — especially after a particularly disappointing missed cut at the 2026 PGA Championship.
