Bryson DeChambeau is helping usher a new generation of fans into golf, thanks to his consistent presence on social media.

At 31, DeChambeau has built a digital following no other professional golfer can match. He has over two million Instagram followers and a whopping three million YouTube subscribers.

Even though Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele have been more consistent contenders in recent years, DeChambeau’s popularity is in a league of its own.

Speaking ahead of the US Open at Oakmont this week, DeChambeau picked his favourite video he’s ever released on his channel.

DeChambeau has released several popular series, including ‘Break 50,’ which featured guests like Donald Trump and Phil Mickelson.

But his favourite video was a series that took over two weeks to finish, and that was the monumental task of hitting a golf ball over his house.

That project now has over 10 million views, with the finale alone hitting 2.1 million.

“So, the hole in one series over the house is by far my favourite,” he said on SportsCenter before the US Open.

“The amount of engagement, the way people responded, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, so that’s number one. The break 50 series has been great.”

Bryson DeChambeau explains how YouTube series helps him train for majors

DeChambeau also claims that one of his other YouTube projects helps him prepare for major tournaments.

The defending US Open champion regularly attempts to break course records at public golf clubs – a challenge even for elite players.

According to DeChambeau, this routine helps him sharpen his focus before big events.

“To be honest, I love the course record series,” DeChambeau said. “Going and filming a course record series, trying to break a course record at a public golf course, right before a major championship, kind of gets me in that mode of tournament game time.

“So, I feel comfortable going into these majors even though I haven’t played as many tournaments as other people. We played a tournament last week, which is lucky, but I would’ve been filming a course record series last Saturday had I not.

“It just kind of gets me focused for the week and helps really dial in and say, ‘you’ve got to give it all you have.’ It gives me a bit of preparation going into those major weeks.”
