Back in 2018, Bryson DeChambeau made a big move in his career.\u00a0 He partnered with a club manufacturer, LA Golf, as an ambassador for the company.\u00a0 Like any equipment-athlete partnership, this came with its benefits.\u00a0 Like early access to new clubs, sponsorships, and most importantly for DeChambeau, custom clubs to his specifications.\u00a0 However, that partnership has come to an end, similar to Jon Rahm parting with TaylorMade.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s Relationship With LA Golf<\/span><\/h2>\n

DeChambeau has been a business partner in LA Golf.\u00a0 Yes, he was used as a point of advertising, but he had more say in the business than a spokesperson would.\u00a0 He had a lot of say in the designs of clubs and the parts that went into them.\u00a0 On the field, LA Golf clubs were his preferred brand.\u00a0 These were custom clubs in every sense of the word.\u00a0 DeChambeau was heavily involved in their construction from the shafts to the heads.\u00a0 He had them in his bag and in his hand when he won the delayed 2020 US Open.<\/a>\u00a0 He had his clubs with LA Golf heads last year during his tournaments and during the 2025 Masters<\/a>.\u00a0 However, DeChambeau was only a 2% owner of the company, and that became a sticking point.<\/span><\/p>\n

DeChambeau and LA Golf Split<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recently, Reed Dickens, the CEO of LA Golf, sat down with DeChambeau’s consultant to talk about his stake in the company.\u00a0 In an interview with Golf.com<\/a>, Dickens shared what happened behind those closed doors and how it led to the partnership coming to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBryson and I actually have some of the same tendencies, and I have nothing but respect for him,\u201d Dickens said during a 90-minute interview.\u00a0 \u201cBut he has this new consultant, a McKinsey-consulting type guy, and this guy says to me that Bryson is gonna walk unless he gets 51 percent. Bryson\u2019s got 2 percent of the company. And I think the guy doesn\u2019t realize that he\u2019s dealing with a redneck. And I say, \u2018There\u2019s no path for that.\u2019 They played chicken with me, and now we\u2019re going to graciously part ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dickens went on to say that he appreciates his time with DeChambeau.\u00a0 However, DeChambeau needs someone there 24 hours a day to \u201cbuild him his own clubs, and that\u2019s not scalable for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Post Split<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, DeChambeau hasn\u2019t spoken on the issue on social media.\u00a0 However, the split was amicable.\u00a0 Meanwhile, DeChambeau is expected to keep using the LA Golf clubs he already has and will most likely continue being a client of the business.\u00a0 He just won\u2019t have much say on the business side of things. \u00a0 Reed Dickens acknowledges that it won\u2019t be easy going forward without one of the most influential golfers today, but other pros are adopting his clubs, like Sergio Garcia.\u00a0 Dickens remains confident in the quality of the products his company produces and is hopeful for its future.\u00a0 He believes that they are innovative enough to get through this period.\u00a0 Bryson DeChambeau will attest to the club’s quality, and it is likely to see more players using them on the course as time goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n
