Whether a major champion using irons that were 3D-printed, a six-time PGA Tour winner putting in two drivers at the Masters or a fairway wood from 2006 finding its way back in play, here’s our take on the top gear stories of 2024.
After winning a second US Open, Bryson DeChambeau will certainly look back fondly on 2024. But most golf fans might better remember something a lot more unofficial that he did late in the year.

Bryson DeChambeau confirmed he’s still one of the best golfers on the planet by winning the US Open in June. There’s been no doubt before or since, however, that he’s still golf’s undisputed Content King.

In July, Bryson DeChambeau invited Donald Trump onto his YouTube channel for an episode of his “Breaking 50” series. And overnight (Australian time), the US president-elect returned the favour with an invite of his own.
