“It makes my brain hurt” – LIV Golf teammate reveals Bryson DeChambeau’s ‘exhausting’ habit

During an interaction with the media, including Sportskeeda, ahead of the International Series India, Paul Casey opened up about his LIV Golf teammate Bryson DeChambeau's intense, analytical approach to the game.

Casey revealed that DeChambeau's data-driven playing style becomes mentally "exhausting" for him, as he preferred a more intuition-based approach on the greens.

"I mean, there are lots of stories of him(Bryson DeChambeau) putting his golf balls and floating the golf balls and finding the center gravity. Everything's very scientific. So if you look at the cutting, he measures the slopes, he measures the speeds of the green. He knows the speeds of greens. He then knows he has to take his putt back at a certain distance based on the speed of the green," Paul Casey said.

"And everything's a mathematical calculation, not the way I play, but he has to quantify everything with a number. It's not a field, and it's interesting. For me, it would be exhausting, make my brain hurt the way he has to have it. He has to be quantifiable otherwise," he added.

The International Series India is the first event on the 2025 Asian Tour and features Bryson DeChambeau, who will look to win the $2 million event at the DLF Golf & Country Club in Gurugram.

As the first Major champion to play in India, there will be a lot of eyes hooked on DeChambeau's performance at the tournament, which begins on January 30.

The American golfer's fans will be closely monitoring his performance. Moreover, the LIV golfer is doing equally well off the field as well, with Reebok announcing their long-term partnership with DeChambeau a month ago.
