Records are made to be broken. At least that’s what Bryson DeChambeau would arguably say after his recent feat. Paige Spiranac on the other hand, may not agree. After all, the scientist even surpassed her own record! The LIV star is presently not only one of the best golfers in the world but also one of the most popular golf content creators, a job that Spiranac once had a sole claim over.
However, now it seems like DeChambeau’s stepped in and left her behind too. And no, we’re not talking about him amassing 1 million followers, even though on that front too he’s obliterated Spiranac who has only 423K followers, instead we’re talking about views!
In his latest video, the two-time US Open winner paired up with the former POTUS, Donald Trump for an episode of his Break Fifty series. The video has garnered him over 6 million views so far! It’s not one of the most watched golf videos in the world, leaving behind multiple influencers’s most watched clips, including again Spiranac, who’s 1.8 million views on “The Most Photographed Golf Hole in the World // Playing Mauna Lani South Course in Hawaii” from 2018 stands to be the highest.

Regardless, it seems like the gorgeous golfer holds no grudge. In fact, when the LIV star’s latest video hit the internet, it had Page Spiranac reminiscing about her appearance on the DeChambeau’s Break 50 series. And posting a story on her Instagram, she even asked, “Should Bryson and I run it back?”
No doubt if the two golfers pair up on the course again, the internet will blow up. Perhaps it may even make it to Bryson’s top viewed list, if not maybe at least in the top three if it comes close to Break 50 numbers from the time he played with his LIV colleague and HyFlyers captain, Phil Mickelson (that video garnered nearly 3 million views).

All the assumptions aside, however, one thing is clear, Bryson DeChambeau has achieved great heights as a social media star.
More of Bryson DeChambeau’s most-watched YouTuber clips
Earlier this week the 30-year-old was just a few 100K shy of accomplishing the coveted 1 million subscribers mark on YT. And the former POTUS helped him cross that. In less than 12 hours of publishing the video of him and Trump, his followers count surged. Presently, the scientist’s YouTube family is a little over 1.1 million.

However, even before that the LIV star was garnering millions in views for his content. His “Can I Break 50 With A Long Drive Champion?” video saw a whopping 1.9 million views. Moreover, his recent clip, “Challenging GM Golf To A Match With Hickory Clubs,” gained around 1.3 million views. “Can I Beat Grant Horvat With $200 Thrift Store Golf Clubs?” too had around 1.2 million viewers.
2024 has been great for DeChambeau. Besides these YouTube feats, he is also the second-highest on LIV’s money list with $11,208,667. And who can forget his major win last month? Will he have yet another feat to add to this list in the next 6 months? Tune in to find out.
