Bryson DeChambeau is a man of numbers. Many of them. Ballspeed, swing speed, driving distance, strokes gained, shaft length, degrees of loft. He hasn’t just been bestowed with the title of “Mad Scientist,” he’s earned it.
But now it’s time to put that ability to a different kind of test. A test fit for the modern athlete, in a modern sports world. A test of his capacities not only as a superstar golfer and major champion, but of his capacities as — you guessed it — a sports gambler.
At a recent cover shoot for GOLF Magazine, Bryson broke down his list of personal over/unders for the 2021 season, and the answers might surprise you.

“Oh man, it’ll be over that, for sure. It’ll be over that. It’ll be probably about three a day.”
