Overview
- DeChambeau said Sunday after LIV Golf Korea that he spent hours talking with Google Gemini about physics concepts and grip pressure to try to make the club "turn over."
- He described late-night practice sessions in Busan, including slamming a club in frustration and working on the driving range for long stretches without finding an immediate answer.
- The experiment did not clearly harm his result because he shot a final-round 65, tied for the low score of the day, and finished tied for third, one shot shy of a playoff.
- Those on-course struggles follow a split 2026 season in which DeChambeau has recorded multiple top finishes and two wins on the LIV circuit but missed the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship.
- Reporters and analysts say the episode underscores that AI remains an experimental troubleshooting tool and that repairing DeChambeau’s relationship with longtime coach Mike Schy or making conventional swing and equipment changes could have more lasting impact on his career and marketability given LIV’s uncertain financial backdrop.
