‘Our Times of Privacy’: Bryson DeChambeau Candidly Spoke About His Infamous Altercation With a Cameraman in 2020

Hot-minded, Bryson DeChambeau, is often in the news for his anger issues. In 2020, he was explicitly in the headlines for lashing out at the cameraman. His fans and the golf world criticized him for yelling at a cameraman and showcasing rudeness on the golf course. However, he had reasons to do so. According to him, the cameraman was damaging his brand. You may wonder how a camera could damage DeChambeau’s brand on the course. 

The scientist of golf had an explanation for that too. After the incident, he defended himself with a reason which somehow made sense. Celebrities often lose their privacy, which can ruin their personal and professional lives. That was the critical fact he pointed out. However, there was a better explanation for his actions. Let’s find out.

Bryson DeChambeau and his take on the incident in 2020

DeChambeau had a great chance of winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2020. However, the possibilities became thin when he went rude to the cameraman continuously following him. The camera shot the bulkiest golfer getting out of the bunker and walking up next to the green. At last, the LIV defector lost his cool and rudely asked the cameraman if looking at him from this close was necessary.

They showcased his actions as angry outbursts instead of dedication to the sport. He said, “As much as we’re out here performing, I think it’s necessary that we have our times of privacy as well when things aren’t going our way.” Everyone reserves the right to privacy, and since golfers are always playing, they should have some liberty of privacy. And it wasn’t just for him. He said, “I feel like when you’re videoing someone and you catch Tiger (Woods) at a bad time, you show him accidentally doing something, or someone else, they’re just frustrated.” 

A former PGA member talked about all the golfers, including Tiger Woods. DeChambeau pointed out that it would be frustrating if it accidentally caught Woods on camera at a lousy time. If by any chance, they saw someone at the wrong time, it would be a very vulnerable moment for the person, and it would hurt their image terribly.

Why was DeChambeau worried about the image?

According to the eight times PGA tour winner, it was not the image he was worried about but the perspective. It was always more about the dedication to the game than anything else. And continuous camera attention can damage the brand, which would not be suitable for the sport and its players. He said, “We don’t mean anything by it, we just care a lot about the game. For that to damage our brand like that, that’s not cool.”
