Bryson DeChambeau‘s exploits in the YouTube golf space are unmatched! Rick Shiels may have been the first prominent golf content creator, but it was DeChambeau who really made the sport popular on the video-sharing platform. The enigmatic professional golfer has changed the landscape of golf content creation over the last few years. Whether you are a golf fan, love Tom Brady, enjoy Chris Pratt movies, or are into politics, there is something for everyone on the Bryson DeChambeau YouTube channel. The dynamic list of guests the Crushers GC captain has had in his videos is just unreal.

The 2024 U.S. Open champion might not have reached 15 episodes of his ‘Breaking 50’ series. However, a total of 183 videos have earned him 1.76 million fans on YouTube. And the numbers keep on growing as DeChambeau releases a new video every so often to keep the fans engaged. His YouTube followers would describe him as more CHARISmatic than GRACEful. But that didn’t stop him from turning Grace Charis into a fan. And in an exclusive interview with Andrew Whitelaw of EssentiallySports, Charis had nothing but praise for the LIV Golf pro.

In the EssentiallySports exclusive interview, Whitelaw asked Charis, “We’ve seen Bryson DeChambeau change the game for YouTube golf. What do you think about his impact? Do you think it’s made it harder or easier? Do you think it’s opened doors for other YouTube influencers in golf? It’s been massive.” Nodding in approval with Whitelaw, Charis stated, “Yeah! His videos are awesome. Bryson’s a good inspiration for all of us. I think rising tides raises all ships. So him doing well, it’s just good for everybody else in the space.” A great use of John F. Kennedy’s popular phrase by Grace Charis.

Continuing the EssentiallySports exclusive interview, Andrew Whitelaw further inquired, “Why do you think people are so drawn to his content?” After giving it a moment of thought, Charis replied, “I think it’s interesting and he brings really cool guests on that are from different spaces. I think he had Tom Brady (he did) or something. It was some football guy that came on. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s really interesting’. I didn’t even know that guy plays golf. I think bringing different worlds into the golf space is really good for us and it’s helping grow everything for the game.” Tom Brady’s appearance in the ‘Break 50’ series did draw a lot of attention from the fans of both sports. The video managed to gain 3.1 million views and around 5,000 comments from the sporting fraternity.

Speaking about “growing everything for the game,” it was Bryson DeChambeau who started the conversation about giving back to the sport he cherishes. After all that he has achieved, the LIV Golf pro had mentioned, “I feel like there’s multiple ways to grow the game“ during a press conference a month prior to the 2024 LIV Golf Team Championship. His vision is clear, and he has stated, “It’s now my vision to give back in that capacity in different ways, whether it’s with LIV, YouTube, doesn’t matter. That’s what I want to do.”

DeChambeau’s connections outside the golf community have certainly helped raise the popularity of the sport. A great example of the same was seen in one of his ‘Break 50’ episodes that featured the 47th POTUS, Donald Trump. The comments section was filled with individuals who took a liking to the sport only because President Trump was a part of the video. Let’s run through some of them to understand the impact Bryson DeChambeau has had on golf.

Bryson DeChambeau’s influence on the golf community

The ‘Can I Break 50 With President Donald Trump?’ video was Bryson DeChambeau’s most successful post, garnering 14 million views. Fans of golf, Bryson DeChambeau, politics, and supporters of Donald Trump all dropped by to watch the video. They were amazed by the golfing abilities of President Trump and acknowledged that he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the sport.

Fans thanked DeChambeau for showing this side of Trump to the world. Some even stated how the 47th POTUS became a much more relatable figure due to the video. Then there were fans who even thought the interview showed Trump in a good light, which was helpful in him winning over the American citizens during the elections. But to prove Charis’s claims, one fan commented, “I have never played golf, watched golf, or ever had any interest in golf but this was so entertaining.” This shows that DeChambeau has the ability to attract viewers from different spaces.

Tom Brady’s appearance in the ‘Break 50’ series was also loved by fans. Many from the NFL community hopped over to catch the two athletes in conversation. They thoroughly enjoyed the interactions and commended DeChambeau for turning this into a reality. One of the fans even shouted out to Adam Sandler to play the ‘Break 50’ challenge in the future. Now, who would mind seeing other globally influential individuals appearing on Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube channel? Would you?
