Bryson DeChambeau’s love for distance and ball speed is a well-known fact around the golf world. He was a part of the World Long Drive Championship last year, looking happier than he was ever been. Of course, DeChambeau has been indulgent of the same, often sharing his progress or view with supportive fans.

The 28-year-old is currently playing at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Unlike other PGA Tour events, this one invites previous year’s winners to play. It is a guaranteed field of entertainment, especially as the tour’s best come together for four days.
