Bryson DeChambeau, the 31-year-old LIV Golf League player, has shocked everyone by revealing how many hole-in-ones he has to date. DeChambeau is an American golfer and YouTuber with over 1.62 million subscribers. His YouTube career took flight after he started the famous series ‘Break 50.’ The series has already had a long list of impressive guests on it, including US President Donald Trump. It is in that same match that he revealed the total number of hole-in-ones he has made in his life. But, how did he actually get the President on the show?
DeChambeau seems to have been watching for the right chance! After the first debate of the 2024 election cycle, DeChambeau proposed a golf match between President Trump and former President Joe Biden. While then-President Biden declined the offer, Donald Trump joined the ‘Break 50’ challenge. As Trump reached the greens to play his trump card, their match also revealed the total number of aces both had scored. And the answers might shock you!

As both personalities tried to break 50 from the red tees at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, DeChambeau and Trump exchanged some fascinating tales throughout the hour-long video. The current president asked DeChambeau how many hole-in-ones he had made in his career after he tackled a short par-3 and came very close to making one.
To that, Dechambeau replied, “That would have been fantastic. I would have hit my first hole-in-one on the channel with that.” But Trump, being Trump, wanted a direct answer and asked again, “How many hole-in-ones have you had?” “I’ve had one in my life. I’ve never had one on the channel either,” DeChambeau responded.
Shockingly, the US President also has a hole-in-one record and wanted to show off the same. The 78-year-old, soon after the Youtuber’s reply, said he had made eight aces. “The last one I made with Ernie Els. It was 188 yards in Palm Beach. I hit it perfectly. Ernie was there.” The fact that DeChambeau, being a professional golfer, has only made one ace is unexpected.
According to the PGA professional’s hole-in-one registry, an ordinary golfer has a 12,000-to-1 chance of hitting a hole-in-one. In contrast, professional players have a 3000-to-1 chance. Interestingly, Dechambeau’s record of one ace has one more number to it now!

Recently, the two-time individual winner of the LIV Golf League has been going viral over the internet as he hit a hole-in-one over at his house in Texas. But this wasn’t just any hit. He made it with strong patience and perseverance of 16 tries.
The 31-year-old shared videos of his attempts on social media. Starting with one shot on his first day, DeChambeau’s rule was to give himself an extra shot each day. DeChambeau hit balls from a mat in his driveway and over his $2 million mansion, which features ceiling-high glass windows. On his sixteenth day of attempting, after his 134th attempt, he finally did it.
