Bryson DeChambeau recently spoke about his YouTube journey
In his last appearance on the LIV Golf Tour, Bryson DeChambeau finished T15 at LIV Golf Greenbrier. While the tournament did not yield the result DeChambeau and his team would have hoped for, he did leave fans impressed by speaking about his YouTube journey in the buildup to the event.
In a press conference before the LIV Golf Greenbrier, DeChambeau spoke about his popular "Break 50" challenge and what he hopes to achieve with his channel. He said:
"It just exposes golf to a younger generation on YouTube and gets more people involved in the game of golf. My goal in all of that is to bring viewers, young viewers, to LIV Golf, to the teams, to all of us out here, and I think that's the main important part of it that a lot of people don't understand is that it's trying to reach a new generation of potential golfers."
The 2-time Major championship winner further added:
"That's what LIV is doing. That's what I'm trying to accomplish alongside LIV and with LIV as a partner, as well. It's a symbiotic relationship where we can exponentiate the game of golf in a really cool, unique way."
In terms of popularizing golf, DeChambeau seems to be doing a good job. His Break 50 challenge video with 2024 US Presidential candidate Donald Trump received 11 million views and 397k likes. This is currently the most popular video on his channel followed by a Break 50 challenge with John Daly.
