The Shank Play the Game. Share the Passion
Bryson Dechambeau, arguably the sport’s most popular player currently, has completed his latest YouTube challenge, by hitting a Hole-In-One over his house, 19 days into his quest.
The two-time Major Champion has wowed the public in recent years with his content on YouTube, which has become a huge factor in his ability to control his personal brand, an issue that ultimately led to his 2022 move from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf.
His regular stream of content that includes the popular ‘Break 50’ series, that has seen current US Open Champion play rounds with the likes of incoming US President Donald Trump, fellow LIV player Phil Mickelson and his most recent offering, legendary New England Patriot Quarterback, Tom Brady.
The Hole-In-One over the house challenge has seen the Crushers GC Captain attempt to hit a wedge over his house onto a putting green located in the back garden of his mansion and the social media star has seen huge numbers flock to see whether he could achieve the extraordinary feat and if so how long it would take.
That challenge finally got its answer today (November 27th) when on his 14th attempt, his ball bounced inches away from the club and rolled into the hole, sparking scenes of celebration, with the social media platform X, blowing up amid the winning challenge.

Dechambeau’s move to LIV has often been talked about as a direct correlation to an opportunity for the Texas-based golfer to control his own media brand, amid strict rules on the PGA Tour that prohibited him and many others from building his brand.
His popularity has soared on the back of his social media exploits, with many now calling him the most important golfer of the current generation, with an ever-increasing social media following that has seen him reach over 2 million followers on Instagram and his YouTube videos reaching astonishing figures of over 13 million viewers on some videos.
