Bryson DeChambeau and Trump—Is this the most entertaining golf duo we've ever seen?

This officially breaks YouTube Golf.” Popular YouTube golfer, Grant Horvat commented on Bryson DeChambeau’s latest video featuring Donald Trump. Prescient words. The two-time major winner did ‘break’ YouTube, leaving a bunch of celebrity influences far behind. A popular golf influencer and past collaborator, Paige Spiranac, is one. 

Trump and DeChambeau tried to break 50 from the red tees (the most forward ones) at Bedminster. They fell one stroke short in the two-man scramble game. Of course, no one is worried about that ‘failed’ attempt as it has won the engagement battle.

DeChambeau’s Trump collab has generated 2.2 million views so far. Moreover, it’s been trending to no.1 in the US within 12 hours of publishing. If we look at the views, Paige Spiranac falls some 1M short of DeChambeau’s latest clip. Spiranac’s time at Mauna Lani from 2019 is her most popular video. The clip titled, ‘The Most Photographed Golf Hole in the World // Playing Mauna Lani South Course in Hawaii’ has garnered 1.8M views.

Interestingly, the Trump collaboration video, though, is not his most popular content. The Crusher’s captain’s nine-hole match against HyFlyers captain, Phil Mickelson drew 3 million eyeballs. Whereas, the clip of DeChambeau shooting 58 at Greenbrier boasts 2 million views as well. 

Comparably, Spiranac is yet to reach the 2 million mark. Nine of her videos have more than 1 million views. That number is 12 for the reigning U.S. Open champion. Notably, DeChambeau’s collab with Spiranac received 1.5 million views on YouTube. 

It’s also pertinent to note that, the two-time US Open champion has received over 4 million views on his short clips. A snippet of Bryson DeChambeau hitting exact 200-yard drives on the simulator has 4.4 million views. Whereas, Paige Spiranac’s most popular short clip garnered 2.3 million eyeballs.
