A closer look at Bryson DeChambeau's YouTube channel
In April 2021, Bryson DeChambeau uploaded his first video to his YouTube channel. He has uploaded 104 videos since then.
In terms of content creation, DeChambeau has juggled between different topics. He has worked on lessons and advice on how to hit different shots in golf and overcome obstacles in the game. The latter have become very popular in recent times. For this reason, DeChambeau has dedicated several of his most recent videos to them. Such is the case of his video playing a round with hickory clubs or the several he has posted trying to break 50 with the collaboration of a guest.
During the press conference prior to 2024 LIV Golf Singapore last May, DeChambeau recalled his thoughts at the time of opening his channel (via TenGolf):
"You look at guys like Mr. Beast or David Dobrik or whatever it is, that are influencing a lot of people in the world, and I saw that market back in 2020, and I said, 'man, if golf could tap into that just a little bit, how many more followers we would get, how many more players we would get, how the game would just explode. If we could just barely tap into a percent or a couple percent of that."
DeChambeau is also quite popular on other social networks. He currently has more than 414,000 followers on X and 1.4 million followers on Instagram.
