It’s one thing to use AI for something quite specific, like deciding which car to buy, but when it comes to improving your golf game, can it actually be helpful?

DeChambeau had been competing in the LIV Golf Korea event, where he scored well in the first two rounds, but a disappointing third round left him scratching his head and turning to Google Gemini for answers.
