Love him or hate him, Bryson DeChambeau is impossible to ignore. Whether he’s dominating on the golf course, stirring up controversy, or building a social media empire, the former U.S. Open champion has cemented himself as one of the sport’s most talked-about figures.
Now, as he continues to thrive in LIV Golf, DeChambeau has also turned his attention to becoming a full-fledged influencer, showing a different side of his personality—one that has even changed the mind of one of his biggest critics, Paige Spiranac.
DeChambeau’s Journey: From PGA Tour Exit to LIV Golf Mainstay
Ever since DeChambeau’s move to LIV Golf, the polarizing American has remained firm in his stance, believing the Saudi-backed league is the future of the sport. While his departure from the PGA Tour sparked outrage among traditionalists, DeChambeau has never been one to bow to outside pressure.
And with the ongoing negotiations between LIV Golf’s financial backers (PIF) and the PGA Tour, DeChambeau is optimistic that a merger could finally bring golf’s fractured landscape back together.
But while many of his former PGA Tour peers have distanced themselves from the spotlight, DeChambeau has embraced it—building a massive presence on social media, giving fans a more personal, entertaining look into his life beyond just smashing 400-yard drives.
Paige Spiranac’s Change of Heart on DeChambeau
One of the most surprising voices to praise DeChambeau recently? Paige Spiranac.
The golf influencer and former pro, known for her candid takes on the game, hasn’t always been a fan of DeChambeau. In fact, she has publicly criticized him multiple times, particularly for his on-course behavior—from arguing with officials to questionable sportsmanship moments.
One such incident that infuriated Spiranac was DeChambeau’s meltdown on the 10th hole at Jack Nicklaus’ tournament, where he lashed out at the rules officials in frustration.
However, Spiranac’s perspective has changed dramatically after getting to know DeChambeau off the course.
“I’ve publicly trolled him in the past, but in person, he was nothing but kind, funny, and self-deprecating,” she admitted.
Now, instead of calling him out, Spiranac seems to enjoy interacting with DeChambeau—even looking forward to sharing moments on the course with him.
