Bryson DeChambeau shares pictures of starting his new venture

Bryson DeChambeau has recently collaborated with Google Gemini, trying out its new AI feature called Nano Banana. The LIV golfer, known for his innovative approach to both golf and technology, shared a series of AI-generated pictures on Instagram on Monday, October 27.

The Nano Banana feature has gone viral for transforming photos into creative, lifelike images using AI prompts. Bryson DeChambeau joined the trend, posting a carousel of photos made with the tool.

One of the standout pictures showed him standing next to his younger self with the message, “Keep pushing.” The image merged his childhood photo with a recent one, giving it a nostalgic film-style look. Other images included a 3D figurine of DeChambeau and a nostalgic portrait set against the backdrop of the 1895 U.S. Open Championship.

Bryson DeChambeau captioned the post

“#Sponsored I’ve been cookin up lately. It’s been a lot of fun experimenting with @googlegemini new feature, Nano Banana on @googlepixel #GooglePixel

This isn’t DeChambeau’s first time working with AI technology. In September, he partnered with Google Cloud to use Gemini AI within the Sportsbox AI app for performance analysis. He began using the tool before the 2024 U.S. Open, which he went on to win by one stroke.

“I'm actually making interpretations and iterating on my golf swing with the data that's presented to me, minutes before my tee time,” DeChambeau said at the time.

With the LIV Golf season now over, the two-time major winner is turning his attention to new projects for his YouTube channel. He recently collaborated with four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry for his Break 50 episode.

Bryson DeChambeau on how AI could change golf coaching forever

Bryson DeChambeau believes artificial intelligence could completely change how golfers learn and improve their game. Speaking at Salesforce’s DreamForce conference last week as part of the Voices for Impact series (quoted by GolfMagic), the LIV star revealed he is working with Google to develop Gemini AI for golf coaching.

Bryson DeChambeau said the project aims to make training tools more accessible giving players of all levels instant feedback on their swings without needing to hire professional coaches.

“From a teaching perspective, giving people the opportunity to get a lot better at the game of golf a lot faster is what I’m focused on and excited about for the future of AI and what it can do for each and every individual," he said.

He explained that Gemini AI can analyze over 2,500 swing metrics in seconds, something impossible for any human coach. According to him the technology can identify key errors in a player’s technique and provide precise feedback on what needs improvement.

Bryson DeChambeau also shared that the Gemini-powered system will eventually expand beyond smartphones, incorporating augmented reality goggles and glasses to offer real-time feedback from a golfer’s point of view. He said this is just the beginning of AI’s role in sports and that its impact on golf training will continue to grow in the coming years.
