Bryson DeChambeau offers to host golf match between Donald Trump, Joe Biden
In one of the more brilliant sports marketing ideas, YouTube star and LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau offered to host a golf match between the nation’s 2024 presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Trump and Biden just had one of their first debates on national television on Thursday night, and they eventually began arguing about who was better in golf.
DeChambeau, the 2024 U.S. Open winner, jumped at the opportunity to try to host a golf match between the two political rivals on his YouTube channel.

Bryson DeChambeau is one of the hottest stars in golf today
DeChambeau is fresh off one of the more impressive scrambling performances in golf history at Pinehurst No. 2 a few weeks ago. He survived a weekend of playing remarkably tough lies from the wiregrass to win the U.S. Open. And he made one more spectacular shot from the bunker on No. 18 to help him win the coveted title. DeChambeau hit the bunker shot of a lifetime, striping one from 55 yards out all the way to just a couple of feet from the pin. He got up-and-down, finishing at 6-under par, one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who finished at 5-under.
It was the second US Open victory for the former SMU star. He did so on Father’s Day, dedicating the trophy to his father, who passed away a few years ago. DeChambeau also dedicated it to Payne Stewart, noting that he was one of his heroes.
With the one-stroke win over McIlroy, DeChambeau won his second major in his 31st start in major championships. His last US Open victory came in 2020 at Winged Foot. He’s just the 89th player to win multiple majors (first since Scottie Scheffler won the 2024 Masters) and the 23rd multiple-time winner of the U.S. Open.
DeChambeau added yet another impressive piece to an ever-growing resume. He joined elite company in golf, becoming just one of four players in the history of the game to win the U.S. Amateur and multiple U.S. Opens. He joined Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods as the only players to accomplish such a historic feat.
It’ll be fascinating to watch his career play out in the years to come.
