But behind the scenes, tensions over ownership and control have brought one of golf\u2019s most distinctive player-equipment relationships to a close.<\/p>\n
Bryson DeChambeau and LA Golf split after ownership dispute<\/p>\n
LA Golf founder Reed Dickens confirmed to GOLF.com<\/a> that DeChambeau and the company are parting ways following a disagreement over ownership.<\/p>\n According to Dickens, DeChambeau<\/a>, through a new business advisor, pushed to become the majority owner of the company.<\/p>\n Photo by Mark Brake\/Getty Images<\/p>\n The LIV Golf<\/a> star reportedly held around two percent of LA Golf but sought 51 percent control.<\/p>\n \u201cBryson is gonna walk unless he gets 51 percent,\u201d Dickens said, revealing the ultimatum that led to the breakdown in talks.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cBryson\u2019s got 2 percent of the company. And I think the guy doesn\u2019t realize that he\u2019s dealing with a redneck.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I say, \u2018There\u2019s no path for that.\u2019 They played chicken with me, and now we\u2019re going to graciously part ways.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the strong words, Dickens insisted there is no personal animosity.<\/p>\n \u201cBryson and I actually have some of the same tendencies, and I have nothing but respect for him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Photo by Sarah Reed\/Getty Images<\/p>\n However, he also admitted that DeChambeau\u2019s demands were difficult to sustain<\/a> within the company\u2019s long-term structure.<\/p>\n \u201cBryson needs someone serving him 24 hours a day; he needs somebody to build him his own clubs, and that\u2019s not scalable for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s major success with LA Golf equipment<\/p>\n The breakup is striking, given how much success DeChambeau enjoyed using LA Golf equipment.<\/p>\n He won the Covid-delayed 2020 US Open at Winged Foot with 14 LA Golf shafts in his bag, and he repeated that formula at the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst.<\/p>\n At the 2025 Masters<\/a>, where he played in the final round alongside eventual champion Rory McIlroy<\/a>, DeChambeau once more had a full set of LA Golf shafts in play.<\/p>\n Beyond shafts, LA Golf also produced bespoke club heads built specifically to suit his one-plane swing and extraordinary speed.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s partnership with LA Golf has come to a sudden end, despite both sides appearing perfectly aligned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[15547,427,82588,225127,225128,225129,99],"class_list":["post-490973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-bryson-dechambeau","tag-golf","tag-golf-equipment","tag-la-golf","tag-la-golf-shafts","tag-reed-dickens","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Photo](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/48cd01a0910ca2044c857e2dd27b3e40.jpeg\"\/)
