A subscriber notification for all the Bryson DeChambeau fans! A new series is on the way, with an unexpected guest. Just days after the Ryder Cup loss, fans might not have expected to see a video so soon. But hey, here we are.
“I said, put a little goddamn jaw on the ball. Did I not say that?” Kevin Hart asked diligently of an awkward Bryson DeChambeau. “You did,” came the reply. The follow-up question was: “Then why did you not do it?” DeChambeau, with his head down, said, “Because I am an idiot.” Don’t worry, this is not another one of DeChambeau’s altercations taking place on a golf course. Instead, this is a brand new series with an unlikely partner who clearly did not waste time teaching ‘The Mad Scientist’ a thing or two about golf.
The first guest for DeChambeau’s new series, Caddie Talk, was Hart, who showed up at North Ranch Country Club ready to run the show just like one of his stand-up comedy shows. In the 76-minute debut episode, Hart is challenged to take on the full duties of DeChambeau’s caddie: he’ll have to call the yardages, he will choose the clubs, and he will read each and every putt.

Just a day ago, DeChambeau posted on his Instagram a story, a hint towards what was to come next: “Dropping my best video ever tomorrow @12 pm CST.” Hours later, his page saw a teaser-like reel where Hart could be seen pushing around the LIV golfer to make a good putt. “I must be talking to myself. I had to look around, and there’s nobody here to receive any of the information because you’re doing the opposite,” he says.
The video, now posted on DeChambeau’s channel, has already racked up 400+k views, which is nothing compared to his videos, which have easily accumulated millions and millions of views in a span of a few days. Hart’s funny, goofy personality, combined with DeChambeau’s otherwise serious persona on the course, is a treat to the eye, especially when Hart doubles down on ‘The Mad Scientist’ for making minor mistakes.

Fans who have been watching Hart for years might be a little surprised to see him on a golf course, walking around on the green in bright sunlight. It is really out of character for someone who has often talked about his love for other sports, especially basketball. But the comedic, in an honest admission in the video, shared how he has slowly and “accidentally” been falling in love with the sport.
He said, “I frowned upon the game for a long time because of the amount of time it takes from you. But then I get out there with some friends, they finally got me to go… and I end up falling in love with the idea of the game because I never processed the simplicity of the game, but the difficulty and the mental challenge you’re in with self.” Competitive by nature, Hart called golf “the perfect battle with myself.”

His quick immersion into the clubs and balls could be seen if one opens his Instagram account. Just a few weeks ago, he posted a reel, challenging none other than LeBron James to an 18-hole match. He called it “a threat and a warning.” James accepted, and whenever this challenge happens, it will indeed be the ultimate blockbuster celebrity showdown.
On the other hand, for DeChambeau, such videos are an everyday deal. Days before the Ryder Cup, ‘The Mad Scientist’ went viral for his quirky challenge for 12 straight days, which ultimately led to one of his fans receiving a bright yellow Bentley. His other antics on YouTube have definitely not gone unnoticed either.
If one did not know him through his golf and several other controversies, there are chances they might have come across one of his high-quality celebrity featuring videos. Following the same undertone of any Mr. Beast video, DeChambeau has earned quite a name for his YouTube persona. In fact, his Instagram bio does not only say ‘professional golfer’ but also ‘content creator,’ the latter interestingly coming first.
Although the timing of this particular video will not go unnoticed. It has not even been two days since the US lost to Europe on its home turf, and this video’s notification pops up. DeChambeau, who gave an underwhelming performance of 1-3-1 at the end of the Ryder Cup, might have to go through certain scrutinizing eyes. But knowing his nature, it will not be wrong to say that he would hardly care less.
And anyway, if his YouTube career is giving his golfing career a run for its money, any kind of critical comment is bound to mellow down the sting.
Bryson DeChambeau’s successful YouTube career rivals his golfing persona
“This is a bit harder than YouTube, huh?” When Tommy Fleetwood took a jibe at Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube career during their brawl on Saturday at Bethpage Black, he knew the remark was going to cut through. With such a staggering rise on the video platform, DeChambeau has certainly awed everybody. After launching his channel in 2020, his numbers have only seen the heights of the sky and nothing else.
Currently, his channel boasts 2.44 million subscribers, with more than 459 million total views across 234 uploads. At one point in July 2024 alone, he was able to pull in 471,000 new subscribers and 43 million monthly views! His channel has, funnily enough, passed the PGA Tour’s official YouTube account in terms of subscribers, cementing him as one of the biggest players in golf media.
Yeah, some of his views might have come from his large fanbase, which he has accumulated over the years. But DeChambeau has undoubtedly put across some of the highest-quality and interesting videos on his channels. Whether it is the Break 50 series, which saw a stellar guest list of not only Phil Mickelson, Paige Spiranac, and Adam Sandler, but the President himself. His video with Donald Trump remains the most-watched with 12 million views. The humane side of the world’s strongest person, talking about his favorite artist like Fetty, and driving around in a golf cart, might have touched a chord.

There are other videos too, like the “course records” or a hole-in-one challenge over his $2 million Dallas mansion. As per reports, DeChambeau has invested over $1 million in his YouTube setup. But despite his success in terms of quality, he admitted in early 2025 that the channel wasn’t profitable yet. Most of the revenue goes straight back into covering salaries and production costs. On average, each video brings in about $5,000 in ad revenue.
But none of this has slowed him down. And with this new challenge online, with various new celebrities coming in every week to caddy for the LIV golfers, fans are going to have one helluva time.
