Portrait of Bryson DeChambeau

Bryson DeChambeau

Two-time U.S. Open champion

Origin Story

A physics major who built his swing from a textbook, Bryson DeChambeau became a two-time U.S. Open champion, and then one of the biggest creators in golf.

The Origin Story

Bryson DeChambeau is a two-time U.S. Open champion whose YouTube channel has made him one of the most-watched personalities in golf.

The Golfing Machine

Born in Modesto and raised in Clovis, California, DeChambeau was 15 when his coach introduced him to Homer Kelley's The Golfing Machine, which shaped his single-plane swing and his famous single-length irons. He studied physics at SMU, and in 2015 he won both the NCAA individual title and the U.S. Amateur, only the fifth player ever to do both.

Major Champion

DeChambeau won the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot by six shots, joining Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to win the NCAA title, the U.S. Amateur, and the U.S. Open. He added a second U.S. Open at Pinehurst in 2024, beating Rory McIlroy by one. He has played on three U.S. Ryder Cup teams and joined LIV Golf in 2022.

Break 50

DeChambeau started making YouTube content in 2020, and his Break 50 series, in which he and a guest try to break 50 in a scramble, turned him into one of golf's biggest creators. Guests have ranged from tour pros to athletes and celebrities: his July 2024 round with President Donald Trump passed 3 million views in 12 hours, and his 2025 episode with Steph Curry drew 3.6 million views in three days. By 2024 his channel had more subscribers than the PGA Tour's own.
