Is Bryson DeChambeau's friendship with Trump a game-changer for his career or just a fun partnership?

Donald Trump has always been a keen golf enthusiast. He has not only talked about the sport frequently but also invested in the sport. Donald Trump’s organization, Trump Golf, owns 18 prestigious golf courses across the world. Some of his courses are also home to major LIV Golf events.

The newly elected POTUS is also friends with many golfers such as Sir Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, Gary Player, and many other legends. However, one particular golf player who has always been close with him is none other than the man of the people, Bryson DeChambeau. But how did it all begin?

By now, we all know that Donald Trump and Bryson DeChambeau are close friends. Their appearances on golf courses tell us that; play Pro-Am rounds, and compete in the fun golf-oriented challenges. When DeChambeau won the 2020 U.S. Open, Trump’s son threw a grand party celebrating the victory on their family’s property. This is probably how Trump and DeCheambeau met and well, hit it off as buddies.

When they were recording the YouTube video for the 2x US Open winner’s channel, Trump not only made an appearance but actually enjoyed it. Trump’s eagle at the 12th hole was something even the best golfers in the world would envy. The entire video was a treat for every golf fan and ended up being DeChambeau’s most successful video on his platform.

Bryson DeChambeau also talked about Donald Trump later during a press conference for the LIV Golf UK event; He shared he was grateful to Trump for making the collaboration happen. He went on to add how Donald Trump’s inclusion in the video helped him reach quite a few goals for his channel, and he was to give more back to those in need. Ultimately, the DeChambeau and Trump match video helped the former raise $250,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Their friendship has blossomed over time. But their partnership on the course is what has caught the attention of many of their respective fans. So what does the pro golfer think of Donald Trump’s on-course exploits? Let’s find out!

So, what does the President’s friend think of his golf skills? Quite highly! “Man, his iron play was great,” DeChambeau said about Trump in an interview with Golf.com. “I can’t tell you the number of times he stuffed it on the green within 30 feet in regulation. His driver swing is the most repeatable thing I have ever seen. I wish mine was that repeatable. Really, I do.”

“He’s actually a really good golfer. He stripes it down the middle of the fairway and has good iron game and putts it pretty well. But it was an honor. I mean, anytime you get to play with a president, whether passed or sitting, it’s just an honor, no matter who it is,” also said DeChambeau when asked about how Trump golfs.

Upon getting re-elected as the President of the USA, Donald Trump thanked many individuals in his speech. Those who joined Trump on stage during the speech included DeChambeau. The golfer never directly endorsed Trump during the latter’s campaign, but his close association with him tells a tale we all know. Their friendship is rock solid. 

While the 47th President of the United States of America might be busy in the office, it won’t be a surprise if we see him pair up with the pro golfer again in the future. Maybe even another round of golf in the ‘Break 50’ series? Only time will tell.
