He is America’s favorite… and soon to be Spain’s most-liked golfer as well. Bryson DeChambeau was spotted gearing up for the LIV Golf event in Andalucia, Spain. And he seems to be in his element once again, providing ample entertainment for the fans. How is he doing that? The professional was spotted collaborating with the Welsh athlete, Gareth Bale, ahead of the upcoming tournament.
A video of the two athletes was posted on the internet by LIV Golf. It was then reshared by NUCLR GOLF on their X handle with the caption, “Incredible juggling.” The tweet showcased DeChambeau juggling the golf ball with his club and feet, only to pass it to Bale, who does the same with just his feet. The video truly took the limelight away from the likes of Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia, both of whom are the favorites to win the event in Spain.

The hype is undoubtedly high in Spain with the LIV Golf event in Andalucia. As part of the same, the Crushers GC captain and the talented soccer player were playing in a Pro-Am event at the Real Club Valderrama. That was when the duo decided to have some fun on the 18th tee: Bryson DeChambeau with one of his wedges and Bale with his own weapon. Interestingly, they did so in front of the hyped-up fans, who cheered on for the pair while keeping their attention on them instead of the Spanish golfers.

Spaniard and the skipper of Legions XIII GC, meanwhile, had expressed his determination to win the tournament which is taking place in his country. “I hope so,” said the LIV Golf Pro while being optimistic about his chances, “If it’s the week to do it, the week we are playing would be the best. But the fact that we are in Spain, home crowd, home week, yeah, that makes it that much more meaningful.”
Garcia, on the other hand, was also extremely hopeful of emerging victorious at the same. “It would be amazing,” expressed the Spanish athlete before adding, “It would be a dream come true for sure… It’s just a matter of going out there and doing your best. That’s all you can ask yourself for.” Well, it appears DeChambeau has his work set up for him if he is to truly clinch the title of favorites from the two Spaniards. But it’s not as if the ‘Scientist’ is without any prep.

What’s your perspective on:
Did Gareth Bale just prove he's more than a soccer star by outshining Rahm and Garcia?
Have an interesting take?
He has been one of golf’s best performers this year, with scintillating finishes in the three majors and in the Saudi-backed league. And what was the turning point of his form? It all boils down to finding the correct equipment to fit his skills. DeChambeau’s Krank woods and 3D-printed Avoda irons have surely helped his game on the greens.
That’s not all. Even the golfer was looking forward to playing on the course. “I can see why this golf course is extremely loved here in Spain,” said Bryson DeChambeau, “Certainly a golf course that, albeit most think it’s not fitting for me… It’s a strategy golf course. You’ve got to have your irons dialed in and you’ve got to putt really well.” It does seem like he has done everything he can to set himself up for another win on LIV Golf. His fans surely would want that to happen. Regardless, they can only wait and watch!
