Bryson DeChambeau Hits Viral Hole-in-One After 16-Day Challenge

For 16 days, LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau embarked on a highly unconventional golf challenge: attempting to hit a hole-in-one over his house. Starting with a single attempt on the first day, DeChambeau increased the number of daily shots until he finally achieved his goal on the 133rd attempt.

The viral endeavor captivated millions of fans on social media, as viewers around the world followed his near misses and close calls. On a few occasions, DeChambeau came tantalizingly close to success, including one memorable attempt where the ball struck the pin but bounced out of the cup. Under official golf rules, such a shot doesn’t count unless the ball comes to rest in the hole. Determined, DeChambeau pressed on, generating a wave of online engagement and inspiring similar challenges among other content creators.

In fact, one of his suggestions to fellow challengers was to increase the size of the hole each day, adding a unique twist to the concept.

The Moment of Success

The breakthrough finally came after more than two weeks of persistent effort. On his 133rd attempt, DeChambeau watched as his shot soared gracefully over his mansion, landing a few feet to the right of the hole. The ball took a fortunate bounce to the left and rolled slowly into the cup.

An elated and visibly exhausted DeChambeau celebrated the accomplishment by exclaiming directly into the camera, “Are you kidding me?! Ohh! That’s enough.”

The feat marks the end of an entertaining and viral journey that showcased DeChambeau’s skills, patience, and determination in a lighthearted yet impressive manner.

Preparing for the Showdown

DeChambeau’s timing couldn’t have been better, as he gears up for the highly anticipated Showdown on December 17. The event will feature a team match between two LIV Golf stars—DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka—and two PGA Tour icons, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.

At stake is a substantial prize: $10 million in cryptocurrency. While the exact split of the winnings between the winning and losing teams remains unclear, it is a significant purse, surpassing the typical payouts of many PGA Tour events. For comparison, most non-signature PGA Tour events offer $9 million in total prize money, with individual winners often earning over $1 million.

The cryptocurrency format adds a unique element to the competition, allowing players the option to keep, sell, or trade their earnings. Regardless of how the prize is divided, the event promises to be a high-stakes and entertaining clash between two rival golf tours.

A Viral Chapter Between Tournaments

DeChambeau’s last official tournament appearance was at the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas on September 22, where Cameron Smith’s Ripper GC emerged victorious. In the weeks since, DeChambeau has stayed out of competitive action, instead channeling his energy into this viral challenge that kept his fans entertained and engaged.

With his focus now shifting to the Showdown, DeChambeau is set to reunite with Brooks Koepka, a fellow LIV Golf star, as they face McIlroy and Scheffler. While the competition is primarily for pride and bragging rights, the lucrative prize and the rivalry between the two tours add an extra layer of intensity.

LIV Golf and the Future

As DeChambeau savors his latest viral success, LIV Golf continues to make headlines. Recently, it was announced that Jon Rahm is set to make his debut at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in 2025. Meanwhile, PGA Tour pro Grant Horvat has warned Phil Mickelson that he may regret launching a new series, further fueling the debate between the two golf tours.

For now, however, Bryson DeChambeau’s lighthearted challenge offers a refreshing break from the sport’s intense rivalries, reminding fans of the joy and creativity that golf can inspire.
