Bryson DeChambeau teases new challenge after hole-in-one over his house went viral

After his chase for a hole-in-one hit over his house went viral, LIV star Bryson DeChambeau has hinted at something even bigger to come.

Bryson DeChambeau knew 16 days of footage of him trying to hit a hole-in-one over his glass-filled house, given to the world via social media, would go viral.

But after it went “nuclear”, the self-confessed content machine knew he had to come up with another challenge and, ahead of the LIV event in Adelaide, teased that something was coming and would be “even better”.

The reigning US Open champion is the link to golf’s new world, with more than a million subscribers to his You Tube channel and his willingness to test boundaries, on and off the course, including a round with Donald Trump before he became US President again, with that video also going viral.

It’s all multi-purpose too, making his own equipment, testing himself with challenges devoured across social media, helping take golf to new eyeballs, and preparing to “be the best golfer I can be”.

“I am a busy bee by nature, but I don’t have to keep myself busy,” the world No.1 told NewsWire at The Grange Golf Club.

“There are times where I do like sitting down and doing nothing, but for the most part, I enjoy entertaining, educating, inspiring. Those are things that I love doing, and I’ll continue to keep doing.

“The LIV schedule allows me to go film a bunch of content. You know, when I come back (home) after this week, I’m going to be filming again.

“We’ve already got stuff planned, and I’m also prepping for the majors this year. You know, what equipment do I need fix? How do I need to think about different golf courses and moving forward how do I attack this, attack that, etc, etc? I just got a game plan for moving forward for the year.

“And I think that’s what’s so cool about the game of golf is that nowadays it’s not only just professional golf that helps inspire people. It’s the small, short, little challenges that you have on social media they can get people interested.”

LIV has got people in Adelaide interested, with more than 100,000 expected to flood through the gates from Friday, the monster success of the event’s first two years having helped enhance the legitimacy of the breakaway tour, a feeling now shared by former critics.

With “reunification” between the LIV and PGA Tour moving closer, Rory McIlroy said players like DeChambeau, whom he took on alongside world No.1 Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka in a Las Vegas showdown last December, should “come back” and be welcomed back.

While appreciative of the words, DeChambeau said he had little knowledge of what was happening in that space but hoped the golf world “heals” after years of discontent.

“Professional golf needs it,” he said.

“I’m not privy to those conversations. I don’t know what’s going on.

“But as long as I can continue to keep entertaining and educating, inspiring, that’s really what I’m here for. I’m gonna play the best golf I can, win as many tournaments as I possibly can, and hopefully this golf game heals pretty soon.”

Healing may come after the new challenge to best the hole-in-one he made over his house.

“There’s another one coming soon,” he said.

“I’m not going to give it, but there is another short, fun one. It is in our heads, and it’s gonna be cool.”
