DeChambeau buys Sportsbox AI to turn phone footage into swing data.
What happened
Bryson DeChambeau led investors who paid an eight-figure sum for Sportsbox AI in April. The app records a golfer on any smartphone camera and outputs a 3D motion-capture avatar that measures 25 joint angles and club-path metrics. The purchase price remains undisclosed beyond that bracket.
Why it matters
Users stop guessing swing faults and start iterating from precise kinematic numbers. The technique replaces subjective coach notes with repeatable measurements that update each practice session.
Who's doing it
Bryson DeChambeau and his investor group now control Sportsbox AI after the April acquisition. The company reports active users across 40 countries and claims a 30 percent reduction in handicap for subscribers who log weekly avatar sessions.
