Bryson DeChambeau announces next endeavor: golf-course designer | News | GOLF.com
A new venture in California
DeChambeau announced on Friday that his team will design a golf course and practice facilities for a project in California. He described it as the first of many fully procured DeChambeau Designs.
The announcement was separate from the playing-schedule news some had expected. DeChambeau has been quiet about his schedule for 2027.
Approval and project timeline
DeChambeau said the development process has been ongoing since 2022. He anticipates approval within 18 months, with some amenities, including a driving range, potentially opening sooner. He said California’s development rules are complex and credited the City of Clovis and Fresno County with working alongside the project. DeChambeau said continued support could help it move forward faster for the community.
A stated goal for the region
DeChambeau said the project is intended to help create opportunities for the next generation. He described its aim as “Building Stars of the Future.” He also expressed hope that people from around the world would be able to visit and enjoy the project in the Central Valley.
Other plans beyond design
The design venture adds to DeChambeau’s off-course interests, which include his growing YouTube channel. Last week, in his first comments since LIV shuttered, he said he still believed in team golf, acknowledged some mistakes and expressed gratitude for the previous four years.
