Bryson DeChambeau has become one of the most prominent and transparent YouTube golfers, offering fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at his game—whether it’s dialing in his driver, competing in money matches, or, as he often does, testing the absolute limits of budget golf equipment. His Break 50 series has gained much traction and made him one of the most influential YouTube golfers.
So, in his latest video, Can I Break Par With The Cheapest Golf Clubs On Temu?, DeChambeau’s usual enthusiasm gave way to frustration as he struggled with a set of flimsy, $120 clubs.
The moment that stood out the most wasn’t just DeChambeau’s struggles—it was what he said in the middle of it all. After another errant shot, he quipped: “How am I gonna do the Masters?” Although delivered with a laugh and a tinge of sarcasm, was it fully a joke? Well, that is for DeChambeau to know. His frustration with the Temu clubs, though, was completely valid.
“So, I had to take a penalty drop. I was about 160 yards out and hit a pretty solid approach shot in there with the pitching wedge,” he explained, visibly disappointed that the ball still hit the water. “The shafts were incredibly bendy, and honestly, all around they were just not very good,” he said at one point, visibly exasperated. Then, in a moment of peak DeChambeau, he tried—unsuccessfully—to snap one of the clubs in half.

“Here I am, literally trying to break the club, but I can’t because it’s so bendy,” he said funnily. “For $120 off Temu you really aren’t expecting much, but there’s definitely better options for that price point. I’d much rather use these junior clubs from Walmart than these things, and they were, like, two feet long. So, yeah, don’t buy these Temu clubs—they suck,” he added before hilariously tossing them aside.
Despite the comedic element, his exasperation was telling. Even minor equipment adjustments can make a massive difference at the highest level of golf. Augusta National is a course that demands absolute precision, and DeChambeau knows that anything less than his best—whether it’s his clubs, his approach, or his confidence—won’t cut it.
But as Augusta looms, the same question he asked in frustration lingers: how is he going to do the Masters?
Will DeChambeau deliver at the Masters?
His recent performances suggest a player searching for consistency. After finishing T6 at the 2024 Masters, where he opened with a brilliant 65 before fading with rounds of 73-75-73, DeChambeau went on to claim the 2024 U.S. Open title, proving he could still compete at the highest level.
The two-time Major winner’s 2025 LIV Golf season has been a rollercoaster, with flashes of brilliance mixed with inconsistency. He kicked things off strong with a T6 finish in Riyadh (-13), but struggled to find his rhythm in Adelaide, settling for T18 (-4). Hong Kong saw him slip further to T20 (-7), though he rebounded in Singapore with a solid T10 (-7).
In January, Bryson DeChambeau competed in the International Series India at the impossible DLF Golf and Country Club, delivering an eventful performance. He opened strong with an eagle on the par-5 8th, finishing the first round at 2-under, tied for fourth. A steady even-par second round dropped him to T11, but he surged back with a 7-under 65 in the final round, securing second place at 6-under, four shots behind winner Ollie Schniederjans. Off the course, DeChambeau, alongside Anirban Lahiri, hosted a golf clinic, engaging with fans and aspiring players, further showcasing his commitment to the global golf community.
His results so far show flashes of brilliance, but they also highlight the inconsistency that has prevented him from being a dominant force week in and week out. His ball-striking remains elite, yet the question remains: can he sustain a high level of play for four days at Augusta?
“Prepping for some big events…” he captioned his post on X on March 29, alluding to the major tournaments ahead. For all his quirks and experiments, DeChambeau remains one of the most talented players in the world. His performance at last year’s Masters and his U.S. Open victory prove he can handle major championship pressure.
He’ll arrive at Augusta with unfinished business, still searching for the breakthrough that has eluded him there. Whether he finds it remains to be seen—but if there’s one thing we know about Bryson DeChambeau, it’s that he’s never short on surprises.
