Bryson DeChambeau’s unique approach to the game has gotten him the name of “Mad Scientist”. His approach towards the game has helped him with a great career as a professional and has helped him gain a whopping net worth of more than $40 million. Other than being on the course, he has also done great being a social media influencer, with more than 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube and 2.1 million followers on Instagram. DeChambeau is reaching out to the masses with his behind-the-scenes posts and videos of the game.
Recently, he started a hole-in-one challenge where he tried to cross his home and putt the ball in the backyard greens. The challenge took him 16 days to complete, and what’s more interesting is how viewers loved his challenge. With more than 84 million views cumulative after 16 days of posting on his Instagram. This shows how viewers liked the content and followed it to find out if he could complete the challenge. This unique challenge journey, apart from getting the views, has inspired the fans to follow the trend created by the pro golfer.
Many of the followers have started the trend with their unique style. Unlike him, who tried to hit the shot over his house and putt. For non-professionals, it would be a tough bet to take. So instead, people used their creativity with the challenge to make it more interesting for the viewers. In a recent post shared on Instagram by the official page of Long Driver in collaboration with Bobby Bradley (the.royalty.boss). Bradley was seen showing his first day of the challenge with a new type of putt. Unlike DeChambeau, he created a 2-foot-putt hole in one challenge.
