Bryson James Aldrich DeChambeau is a professional golfer currently based in Dallas, Texas, United States. He was born in Modesto, California, USA to John Howard Aldrich DeChambeau and Janet Louise Druffel.

A painting of golfer Ben Hogan is hanging up in the house of Bryson’s parents in Clovis, California. Among Bryson’s golf coaches are Mike Schy and Chris Como.

While in high school, Bryson borrowed a 180-page physics textbook from the library and rewrote everything from it into a three-ring binder. He told Golf Digest, “My parents could have bought one for me but they had done so much for me in golf that I didn’t want to bother them in asking for a $200 book.”

Nicknamed The Scientist, Bryson has mastered stippling, the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. He is trained by biomechanics specialist Greg Roskopf.
