Winning the Masters is a bucket-list item for any professional golfer. Now, one is taking a unique approach by playing with a 3D-printed club.

Bryson DeChambeau told media members ahead of the 2026 Masters that he will play the prestigious tournament using a 5-iron that he fabricated in a 3D printer. Obviously, this hinges on the United States Golf Association approving the clubs for use in the tournament that runs April 9-12.
This is not the first time that DeChambeau has experimented with unique clubs. He previously changed some wedges ahead of a win in LIV Golf. He also said that he made some changes with his 50- and 55-degree wedges for this year's Masters.
"I am working on irons, building irons, building a driver," DeChambeau said on Tuesday. "So we'll see where it goes, we'll see where it takes me. All I could say now is, if I don't put them in the bag, it's my fault now."
DeChambeau has not donned the green jacket yet in his career. He has made nine previous appearances in the Masters, and he has posted top-six finishes each of the past two years. Last year marked his best career outing as he finished tied for fifth overall.
The veteran golfer has already experienced an unexpected moment at this year's tournament. He launched the ball from a tee on the sixth hole and watched as it drifted to the left. It hit a patron — the approved Masters terminology for an attendee — before bouncing back into play.

DeChambeau walked over and gave a golf ball to the man that he hit. He then knocked the ball into the hole for Par. Not the most traditional route to the hole, but it showed up the same on the leaderboard.
Granted, the professional golfer had a better experience than Kevin Hart, the comedian who served as his caddie for a day. Hart needed to launch the ball over a water hazard to show his skills with a golf club. Instead, he shot it directly into the water.
