Bryson DeChambeau, the golf sensation known for shaking up the sport,
has reportedly reached out to ex-President Bill Clinton to feature on his buzzing YouTube channel following a hit episode with Donald Trump earlier this year.
Amidst gathering a cult following and bagging his second U.S. Open title this season, DeChambeau is riding a high wave.
The golfer, who has stirred up both controversy and admiration in his career, recently got candid with GOLF.com about various aspects of golf and even speculated on running LIV Golf for a day.
But it’s his YouTube show “Breaking 50” that’s grabbed eyeballs, especially after racking up over 11.7 million views from an episode starring Trump.
Hot on the heels of that success, DeChambeau let slip that his team has officially invited Clinton for a slot on the show, sharing:
“We have formally reached out to his people and are awaiting a response,” and “That would be great.”
Snagging another presidential guest could send shockwaves through the social media sphere. Not only did the Trump feature explode in popularity, but it also drummed up a hefty charity donation, reports the Mirror US.
DeChambeau didn’t shy away from highlighting the charitable angle, noting: “That video was great golf content, and secondly, it raised a quarter of a million dollars for a veteran’s charity [the Wounded Warrior Project]. That was the main focus of the video.”
The 30 year old also waxed lyrical about Trump’s prowess on the golf course, especially his iron play. He raved, “Man, his iron play was great. I can’t tell you the number of times he stuffed it on the green within 30 feet of regulation. His driver swing is the most repeatable thing I have ever seen. I wish mine was that repeatable. Really, I do.”
Currently, DeChambeau’s Crushers GC is topping the team leaderboard for the 2024 season, but individually he sits at ninth as the season winds down. Quizzed on what he’d tweak in LIV Golf if given the reins as commissioner for a day, DeChambeau responded with an interesting take: “Wow, good question.”
He said firmly, “I think I would pick up the phone and call the PGA Tour and say, ‘We need to have a meeting and get this thing [agreement between the two tours] worked out now.'”.
