Bryson DeChambeau Remains In LIV Golf Singapore Contention Despite Huge Wedge Change Bryson DeChambeau continues to make significant adjustments to his equipment as he competes in the LIV Golf Singapore event, with a notable switch to Bettinardi wedges marking his latest move. The two-time U.S. Open champion, who trails co-leaders Joaquin Niemann and Lee Westwood by one shot heading into the final round, has opted for the Bettinardi HLX 5.0 Forged wedges, a decision reported by Matt Vincenzi, a senior reporter for LIV Golf. The change involves specific modifications to the wedge degrees, with the 50-degree model bent one degree less and the 56-degree wedge bent two degrees less. This adjustment aims to enhance spin control, a critical factor in softer conditions, which DeChambeau has struggled with during recent tournaments. Speaking after his opening round in Singapore, DeChambeau expressed confidence in the new setup, noting that the wedges felt “great” during practice and provided better performance through the turf from the fairway. He emphasized his trust in the new bounce configuration, hoping it would offer an advantage in challenging weather conditions. DeChambeau’s equipment changes are not uncommon, as he frequently experiments with gear to optimize his game. This latest shift comes amid his efforts to rebound from a disappointing finish at Augusta National, where he finished tied for fifth in 2025. The decision to switch to Bettinardi wedges also reflects his ongoing collaboration with the brand, which is best known for its putters but has expanded into wedge designs. The HLX 5.0 model, praised for its high-end production and versatility, features two grind options and pronounced cut grooves to maximize spin performance across varying conditions.
