Bryson DeChambeau used Matthew Stafford to prank his followers on April Fool's Day. He said he would miss 2025's The Masters Tournament after a chest injury while playing pickup football with the $150 million-worth NFL star (per Celebrity Net Worth).
The LIV Golfer used his team Crushers GC’s Instagram page to share a post with a slide reading, "Breaking News," and a video of the two playing, captioned:
“Bryson DeChambeau will not be playing at the 2025 Masters due to a ‘chest injury’ that occured while playing pickup football with Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford.”
DeChambeau failed to catch a strong throw by Stafford in the clip, getting hit in the chest by the football. However, he clicked a selfie for the third slide and revealed:
"April Fool's. My chest still hurts though..."
Bryson DeChambeau hasn't played in any 2025 PGA Tour events yet. He was T6, 13-under 203 at the season-opening LIV Golf Riyadh and last participated in the Singapore event, where he landed at T10, 7-under 206. He also played in Hong Kong and Adelaide, finishing at T20 and T18, with scores of 7-under 203 and 4-under 212, respectively.
