LIV golf star Bryson DeChambeau has invited former President Donald Trump to join his “Break 50” series and will release a YouTube video of him playing golf with him.
DeChambeau, a U.S. Open champion, is not only a successful golfer, but also a YouTube star with over 850,000 subscribers. DeChambeau’s videos average around 1 million views, and his “Break 50” series is some of his most popular content.
The series sees DeChambeau compete against a guest to play nine holes in under 50 strokes from the red tees at the front of each hole. Previous guests have included golf influencer Paige Spiranac and fellow pro Sergio Garcia, and DeChambeau is set to release a video with Trump on Tuesday.
“It’s time for @realdonaldtrump to show YouTube what he’s got,” DeChambeau wrote on Instagram while promoting the video, along with a teaser of himself and Trump standing arm-in-arm on the course. This isn’t the first time DeChambeau has played golf with Trump, but his latest interaction was filmed for a fan.

DeChambeau has previously played with President Trump and the former president’s granddaughter, Kia, who is also an avid golfer. President Trump has never hidden his golfing prowess and even spoken about it during the first presidential debate with Joe Biden.
Although Trump will now be in the spotlight, DeChambeau acknowledged his video will be entirely about golf and will not include any political conversation. DeChambeau also wants to make the video for charity, and Trump and DeChambeau have agreed to donate $10,000 to charities that support U.S. veterans and active-duty military personnel.
“To be clear, this is about golf and giving back to our nation’s veterans, not politics,” DeChambeau wrote on X. “A few weeks ago I reached out to presidential campaigns from both parties and @realDonaldTrump accepted the challenge.”

“It’s a great honor to play golf with a current or former president, and anyone is always invited to a round of break 50,” said Trump, who is a fan of DeChambeau and recently congratulated him after he beat Rory McIlroy to win the U.S. Open title.
“You’ve got the long ball and all that stuff,” Trump said. The video of Trump and DeChambeau isn’t the golfing duel some fans were hoping for, but it’s expected to generate a lot of buzz.
During the debate with Biden, Trump challenged the president to a game of golf and even offered to donate $1 million to charity if he lost. Biden has yet to accept the challenge and has officially dropped out of the 2024 race, meaning his public feud with Trump is set to end when his term ends on November 5.
