For 16 days, Bryson DeChambeau has tried to hit a hole-in-one over his house. For every day, he added one more attempt. The LIV Golf star came close a few times, but he finally made it after more than two weeks of trying.
During the process, DeChambeau earned millions of views from fans all across the world on social media. He even spawned and inspired similar challenges for other content creators, including one where the golfer himself said the creator should increase the hole size every day.
At long last, though, DeChambeau's journey is complete. It comes with fairly good timing, as the golfer is expected to compete in the Showdown against Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler on December 17.
An exasperated DeChambeau said directly to the camera after finally hitting the shot:
"Are you kidding me?! Ohh! That's enough."
In total, it took the 2024 US Open champion 133 shots. His final attempt elicited a cry of "be good" from the player as it soared over his mansion. The ball landed a couple of feet to the right of the hole, took one bounce to the left, and rolled slowly into the cup.
A few days ago, Bryson DeChambeau had struck one well that bounced into and right back out of the pin. In golf, the rules state that the ball must come to rest in the cup, so that didn't technically count. He kept trying, though, and ultimately succeeded.
Bryson DeChambeau and others to be paid $10 million crypto for the Showdown
It's been a while since Bryson DeChambeau last played a golf tournament, though he was able to fill his time with a viral challenge. He last played at the Team Championship in Dallas on September 22. Cameron Smith's Ripper GC came out on top then.
His next outing will not be an official match, though. He is taking part in the Showdown, a match-like competition between two LIV stars and two PGA Tour stars.
On one side, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will team up. On the other, it's Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. At stake, aside from bragging rights and perhaps some pride for their tours, is at least $10 million in cryptocurrency.
It is currently unknown how the split will take form for the winning side and the losing side. $10 million is more than a lot of PGA Tour events. Non-Signature Events usually have $9 million to give out to 70 or so golfers.
Winners often land over $1 million, but the winners here will come away with much more than that. Players are not required to keep the winnings, but they can sell or trade them away if they don't want to keep cryptocurrency in favor of other forms of money.
