"I think YouTube is the next generation" - Bryson DeChambeau explains the concept behind his YouTube channel
Bryson DeChambeau is not only a huge star in the world of golf, but he's also knocking on the door of YouTube stardom. "I think YouTube is the next generation," DeChambeau said when asked about his channel.
As of April 3, 2024, Bryson DeChambeau's YouTube channel has more than 525,000 subscribers. He recently answered questions from the press about this part of his career among other things and claimed he does it to help grow the game.
This was part of what Bryson DeChambeau had to say (via Flushing It):
"Personally for me, my whole reason in doing so is growing the game from 100 million golfers currently as it is today, close to that, to 150 in the next decade, and I want to help be a little bit of a part of that."
"I think YouTube is the next generation, where every kid is watching their entertainment and certainly Mr. Beast has shown that there's a huge following and base over there, and just capture a little bit of that and bring them over to the game of golf is something I want to do. Shows a bit of the creative side that I have, too."
Bryson DeChambeau has produced and posted more than 90 videos on his YouTube channel over the past two years. He has collaborated with major golf influencers such as Grant Horvat and Paige Spiranac.
