As the final round at Valhalla progresses, the constantly shifting leaderboard adds an element of unpredictability. Alongside Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau is capturing the community’s attention, and for all the right reasons. He ascended beautifully at Masters and finished at a respected T6, and he astonished everyone. Sitting at T4 with a score of 13 under as of the third round, he is in contention at Valhalla too. When he shifted to LIV Golf, many people said many things, but he was firm in his decision. He needed freedom, not only to spend more time with his loved ones but to pursue other things too. After all, DeChambeau is not just a golfer; he is so much more!

With an average of around 1 million views per video, it generates an estimated revenue of approximately $2,000, playing a significant role in his income. In addition to his various income streams, the 30-year-old also benefits from multiple brand endorsements, thanks to his performance and popularity in the golfing world.
What brand endorsements does DeChambeau have?
The Crushers GC also boasts an apparel sponsor. In February of this year, the team’s Instagram account announced its collaboration with @stichgolf through a joint post captioning “It’s official @stitchgolf (Stitch Golf) helps you shoot 58s and win Team Championships. We are proud to announce the partnership between @crushers_gc (Crushers GC) and @stitchgolf as the official on-course apparel sponsor,” with accompanying pictures of the squad members sporting Stitch apparel. Bryson DeChambeau shot a historic 58 to win the LIV Golf Greenbrier by six strokes and earned himself the title of Mr.58. The carousel of photos was posted after that.
Although the specific amount remains unknown at this time, it’s evident that this sponsorship deal is a crucial addition to the golfer’s financial profile. The 30-year-old’s experiments also extend to his footwear choices, as the golfer continues to sport various pairs of shoes.
Before parting ways with the PGA Tour, the pro was regularly spotted wearing Puma’s Ignite range of footwear as he was working with the brand. While Puma was part of his financial picture for some time, DeChambeau switched to wearing Cuater the Ringer shoes in February 2023 after transitioning to LIV Golf. However, it wasn’t long before he began wearing FootJoy, switching to FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon golf shoes.
The Scientist has chosen to remain faithful to FootJoy, regularly donning its footwear. While DeChambeau himself hasn’t officially confirmed working with the brand, there is speculation that it could be a part of one of the golfer’s sponsorship deals. Additionally, the bag of the American golfer contains items from various brands.

Equipment sponsors of Bryson DeChambeau
The equipment selection of the 30-year-old holds an intriguing element. He currently collaborates with two brands: COBRA Golf for drivers and fairways, while he places his utmost trust in Avoda Golf for irons. Avoda Golf specializes exclusively in selling irons and caps, offering their irons in both ‘Combo’ length and ‘Same’ length options. When it comes to his putter, the pro relies on the SIK PRO C-SERIES ARMLOCK, and for wedges, he uses PING Glide 4.0.
When discussing irons, the pro also expressed his utmost confidence during the Masters, disclosing, “It’s just a speed thing; when I hit it on the toe or heel a little bit, it just seems to fly a lot straighter. This is what has allowed me to hit some iron shots a lot straighter and be more comfortable over the ball.” After this disclosure, it became clear that the Avoda irons have been beneficial to him thus far. Other brands that endorse Mr.58 are Bridgestone, DraftKings, Bentley, BOSE, Rolex, HD Golf, FlightScope, LAGP, JumboMax, Trump Golf, and OneStream Software. His earnings from sponsorships are estimated to be $8 million per annum.
