Have you seen any celebrity or professional player going unrecognized amongst the fans? I guess not. Fans are always looking out for their favorites and if they are near them, there is no way the crowd is going to let that professional get away without attention. But for Bryson DeChambeau, something happened that even he did not expect.

The professional golfer and part-time influencer has been among the top names in the sport with his extreme popularity. Even his hole-in-one over his house videos on social media went viral, which added to his extreme popularity. But during the interview with 5 Club, the U.S. Open champion shared an incident from Christmas when he was out with his family and something happened that even the fans present at Downtown won’t believe.

The interviewer asked him, “The last time, you think you were in public and not recognized.” Adding further to it, DeChambeau was asked to share when he was surrounded by people and not being recognized. The professional has 2 million followers on Instagram and roughly around 1.70 million subscribers on YouTube. So, him not being recognized seems like a far-fetched idea.

However, after taking some time to think, he answered the question which shocked the fans. He said, “So when I was with my family this Christmas. We went Downtown and walked the lights in Grapevine. Funny enough, nobody recognized me there.” He even shared how everybody was busy enjoying their evening and he was wearing a hoodie to be on the safer side for fan interaction.

Further sharing, he said, “That was the last time it felt pretty good. It definitely can get tough nowadays.” Bryson DeChambeau‘s popularity increases each time he shares a new video on YouTube or gets any major victory in his professional career. A great example of this is the 2024 year, which proved to be one of the best years for the professional golfer.
