How Gregory Bodine and Bryson DeChambeau work together on the course

The example of trust and transformation can be seen through the partnership of DeChambeau and Bodine that started in May 2023. During a huge slump, DeChambeau first came to Bodine, and he confirmed, “Dude, I’m lost, I have no idea what I’m doing with my game.”

For instance, he struggled in LIV and frequently finished outside the top 20 in 48-man events. His best finish in 2023 before he hit up Bodine? A tie for 16th place at the LIV Golf Invitational Orlando. So, what happened next?

By this time, Bodine was focusing on his business and family, during which his wife suffered a miscarriage. At this point, many people considered Bodine retired and ceased caddying. Bodine accepted, as he wanted to “give it a try.”

“It was worth a try just to see. We weren’t buddies or anything, but he wondered what I was up to.” So, how did it turn out?

Having joined hands in 2023, DeChambeau won the LIV Greenbrier event and another in Chicago, leading his LIV team to the overall title. In 2024, he had strong performances in major championships, finishing tied for sixth at the Masters and placing second to Xander Schauffele at the PGA Championship.

Additionally, together with Bodine, Dechambeau won his 2nd U.S. Open title in 2024. But there was something even more interesting about it. After winning the U.S. Open in June 2024, DeChambeau was quick to thank Bodine during his post-round press conference and privately expressed his gratitude by sending the trophy to Bodine’s home in Seattle for a few weeks.

According to Bodine, DeChambeau often shares his fondness for him. In 2024, during the U.S. Open, Bodine said, “What he says over and over again is I keep him calm.” Now the duo will be taking the stage again at the prestigious Ryder Cup. The question is: will we see them enjoying another win, with DeChambeau in form?
