In an interview with Golfweek, DeChambeau said, “There are a lot of people struggling in the world right now…but I just felt that what Jarrod has battled through is valiant and it’s a tough battle, obviously, and not everybody wins.” He added, “Hearing his story, three times, I believe those kids deserve a chance at a better life and they need that, so that’s why I decided to do that.”

It wasn’t a long time ago when DeChambeau met the golfer at an Australian Open. Fans often talk about DeChambeau’s controversies involving his feuds with several players.
