Bryson DeChambeau open to golf with Kamala Harris after Donald Trump video goes bonkers

Bryson DeChambeau has revealed how much work had to be done to get Donald Trump on his YouTube channel. 

DeChambeau's video with the former president was uploaded on 24 April. 

At the time he set it live, he was just shy of 800,000 subscribers on the platform. 

Now he's at more than 1.1m and the 'Break 50' contest has received more than six million views. 

And rising. 

It would be an understatement to say their Texas Scramble at Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey was entertaining. 

There were so many highlights. 

Over the course of the video, we saw that Trump really does have some game. 

The putting stroke, however, left a lot to be desired. 

DeChambeau and Trump came up one shot shy of their target to break 50 from the forward tees. 

The 2024 U.S. Open champion opened up on the subject in his pre-tournament press conference at LIV Golf United Kingdom. 

DeChambeau said he extended the offer to the Democrats.

And he is willing to play Kamala Harris. 

He also reiterated the video was filmed before a gunman attempted to shoot Trump.

"First off, it's an honour to play with anybody of that type of influence, no matter who it is on any political side," he said. 

"Again, this whole content piece, it's a content creation piece, was about delivering some unique different content on YouTube, and we wanted to showcase the golf abilities of any influential person, and he was definitely up on a list that I wanted to showcase.

"We were able to call out and ask him to play, and he said yeah, absolutely. 

"We asked the other side, as well, and anyone that wants to play. 

"They're more than willing to do something for charity. [We] wanted to make it about charity and the wounded warriors foundation. 

"I've done a lot for them in the past, and it was fantastic to see that he was willing to support it, as well, as well as anybody that wants to support their charity, I'm more than willing to do a fundraiser for them and drive a lot of traction to those charities, whichever they are.

"That was a mainstay of mine, and I wanted to create some cool content. 

"He's obviously a figure that can pull a lot of views, and we thought it would be great to showcase his golfing ability, and he's a pretty good golfer."

He continued: "It was a lot of fun to do, and it took a little bit, but we got it approved and it was fun to shoot. 

"It happened in three days. I think we did it on July 6 on Saturday, so it was a few weeks before all the stuff [the shooting] went down, and yeah, it was a great time.

"We had a blast, and again, I look forward to doing a lot more of those with other influential people."

Has he asked the vice president yet?

"Whether it's Obama or anyone else on that side, I'm more than willing to play with them," he said. "I have no issues whatsoever. 

"That's the thing about golf is that the more we can utilize golf to bring everyone together in a cool way, I think that's the vision of the global game of golf.

"It's important for me, inspiring a younger generation is huge for me, and that's why I think this YouTube space is so cool because it really shows everyone's true side. 

"That's what I'm trying to accomplish, and it's definitely helped me on that regard, and I can't wait to hopefully do it with others."

"I wouldn't put it past him"

DeChambeau also revealed that Tiger Woods congratulated him before The Open about his triumph at Pinehurst No.2. 

Woods, 48, began ghosting him when he joined LIV Golf in 2022. 

The 15-time major champion missed his third major championship cut in a row at Royal Troon and some observers have implored him to retire. 

"He's probably the most influential figure in the game of golf," DeChambeau said.  

"He is the most influential figure in the game of golf right now, and I think he deserves to play in the majors. 

"He's done more than enough for this great game, and he continues to give back by playing in these tournaments and trying to win. He wants to win. He's a competitor.

"I think that's admirable, for him to be able to do that. I think he can do it still. 

"He's going to have a tough road to beat us youngsters, but he's got that grit and fire in him that he's not going to stop until he gets it done. 

"I wouldn't put it past him."
