Bryson DeChambeau is much more than a professional golfer. Aside from being a two-time major champion, DeChambeau is an ambassador for children to take up golf, a long-drive competitor and a mega-popular content creator and YouTuber. The 32-year-old has become so popular in the YouTube space that he’s starting to debate whether to ditch pro golf to focus solely on his content creation.
In a recent interview on the “Katie Miller Pod,” DeChambeau admitted he’s having a hard time choosing between playing in major championships and growing his YouTube channel.
“I’m in that weird space right now. I don’t know what to do — either content creation or professional golf,” DeChambeau said. “I don’t know what to do right now.”
For the last four years, DeChambeau has balanced his professional career with his YouTube golf career. Ever since he started his YouTube channel in 2021, the fan-favorite golfer has posted 269 videos and won six tournaments, including the 2024 U.S. Open.
It’s fair to wonder whether DeChambeau’s focus on content creation is interfering with his ability to compete at the highest level in golf. DeChambeau has missed the cut in three of the last four major championships he’s played, and his short game has never been worse. In his two missed cuts at the Masters and the PGA Championship this year, he lost a combined 7.98 strokes from around the green in just four rounds.
