Who Is Bryson DeChambeau and WITB for the 2025 US Open?

If Albert Einstein drank Creatine, swung like a trebuchet, and wore Cobra hats backwards, he might resemble Bryson DeChambeau. The man is golf’s most heavily caffeinated physics experiment — a walking, protein-chugging blend of biomechanics, bro-science, and pure PGA chaos.

He’s also your reigning U.S. Open champion.

Yep, after blasting his way around Winged Foot in 2020 for his first major, Bryson came roaring back in 2024 at Pinehurst, picking up his second U.S. Open title and solidifying his rep as golf’s mad scientist turned major-winning beast.

So what’s he bringing to Oakmont in 2025? Only the most absurd, aggressively engineered bag you’ll see all week — complete with two drivers, a prototype iron set nobody else has, and grips big enough to bench press.

Let’s break it down.

Bryson’s 2025 U.S. Open WITB – “Oakmont Armageddon” Edition

Driver 1: Krank Formula Fire Pro – 5°

Shaft: LA Golf Bryson Series 6TX

Krank doesn’t make clubs. They make weapons. This 5° beast is built for speed, with a head so hot it might violate the Geneva Convention. Bryson uses it when he’s going full throttle — think carry numbers over 350, apex height of a drone strike, and zero regard for Oakmont’s intended strategy. The LA Golf 6TX shaft? Stiff as rebar and custom-built to withstand Bryson’s violent transitions.

Driver 2: LA Golf FACE ID 10-10 Bryson Prototype – 4°

Shaft: LA Golf Bryson Series 6TX

Yes, he’s gaming two drivers — because Bryson doesn’t believe in normal. This custom LA Golf prototype with 4° loft is his “low-launch nuke” option. Expect this to come out when there’s trouble downrange and he needs a bullet fade under the wind. It’s Bryson’s version of a 2-iron… except it goes 330 yards.

Fairway Woods: Krank Formula Fire FW 10° & 13° (3+)

Shafts: LA Golf Bryson Series

These aren’t your typical 3-woods. These are mini drivers in disguise, perfect for Bryson’s gospel of high-launch, high-speed, high-confusion shot-making. The 10° model likely serves as his 2-wood, and the 13° is the “gentle” option when he’s pretending to play like a human. Again, both paired with LA Golf Bryson Series shafts — because he’s nothing if not consistent about overkill.

Irons: Avoda Prototype (5-PW)

Shafts: LA Golf Bryson Series

Now we enter Area 51. Avoda Prototype irons are a mystery to 99% of the golf world — unless you’ve been stalking obscure patents and dark-web gear leaks. These single-length creations are built to Bryson’s exact specs, which means zero offset, ultra-low launch, and probably quantum alignment.

He’s gone full custom here — chasing repeatable delivery and robotic strike patterns, even under U.S. Open pressure. Don’t expect buttery turf interaction. These are built for data, not romance.

Wedges:

  • Ping Glide S159 45° (12S)

  • Ping Glide S159 50° (12S)

  • Ping Glide 4.0 55° & 60°
    Shafts: LA Golf Bryson Series

Bryson’s back on Ping wedges — probably because they offer the bounce options he needs to manipulate the ball from Oakmont’s greased lightning greens and biblical rough. The combo of S159s and Glide 4.0s means he’s got spin, turf forgiveness, and grind variety, all dialled in to Bryson’s bizarre delivery pattern. Oh, and of course — LA Golf shafts in every single one. Wouldn’t be Bryson without full bag consistency.

Putter: SIK Pro C-Series Armlock with LA Golf Proto Shaft

Grip: JumboMax JumboFlat 17

Bryson’s still armlocking — and still putting with something that resembles a medieval torture device more than a flatstick. His SIK C-Series features Descending Loft Face Technology (DLT), which gives him consistent launch angle no matter how weird his hand position is.

Paired with an LA Golf shaft and the absurdly oversized JumboFlat grip, this setup is designed to remove every possible variable — except, you know, the man holding it.

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash

After years bouncing around different balls, Bryson’s back in bed with the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash — the spin-killing, launch-loving rocket that thrives under firm conditions. It’s a perfect match for Oakmont, where low spin and stable flight are king. Bryson can rip it off the tee, flight it low into crosswinds, and still zip it off tight lies around the green.

Grips: JumboMax UltraLight XL

You’ve seen baseball bats with smaller handles. These grips are Bryson’s signature move — giant, UltraLight XLs that reduce hand action and maximise control during his controlled explosions of a swing. They're basically training aids he uses in competition, and honestly, they work.

Bryson’s Gear Strategy at Oakmont: Build the Bomb, Then Detonate It

Oakmont is not a course. It’s a psychological thriller disguised as a golf club — slick greens, brutal bunkers, tight lines, and a vibe that says “We dare you to make par.” But Bryson has never played defence.

His two-driver setup lets him choose violence off the tee, depending on wind and hole shape. His Krank woods are just extra drivers. His Avoda irons are built for mechanical repetition. His Ping wedges offer versatility and forgiveness. His putter is a physics dissertation on a stick.

And the whole thing is strung together with LA Golf’s Bryson-approved shafts, top to bottom.

Final Thoughts: Can Bryson Go Back-to-Back?

This isn’t just a major for Bryson — it’s a shot at U.S. Open history. If he wins at Oakmont, he joins the elite list of three-time champions, and does it on the hardest stage of them all.

With two U.S. Opens already in the bag (2020 at Winged Foot, 2024 at Pinehurst), Bryson heads into Oakmont as the clear alpha — a man with the tools, brains, and biceps to bully one of golf’s most feared layouts.

Whether he’s swinging his Krank cannon or dropping armlock bombs on 13-stimp greens, Bryson is all-in on one thing:

Engineering dominance.
