Outside of dominating on the golf course, Bryson DeChambeau loves to post content on social media. The LIV Golf superstar regularly uploads fun challenges involving the game that keep fans engaged.

DeChambeau had been trying out a new challenge, which was to make a hole-in-one from 100 yards over his house into a green in his yard. After several failed attempts, the US Open champion finally made an ace on the 16th day of the challenge with his 14th shot.

Tiger Woods' former coach Hank Haney replied to a post on X that talked about DeChambeau's insane skill to make a hole-in-one in 134 shots. He said (via X @HankHaney):

"That's beating the odds by a long way."

Titleist ambassador Lou Stagner, a performance coach, replied to Haney, stating that the Crushers GC star did not beat the odds. He said (via X @LouStagner):

"Not at all."

Earlier this week, Stagner posted a statistical analysis of DeChambeau's challenge. With most PGA Tour players having a 1 in 500 chance of holing that shot, he stated that the 31-year-old's chances of making an ace were between 1 in 100 and 1 in 250 given that he had a perfectly flat lie for the blind shot.

With the assumption that his chances were 1 in 175, Stagner's math revealed that he had a 49.7 percent chance of holing out on the 15th day and a 93 percent chance on the 30th day.


Bryson DeChambeau offers hilarious putting advice

Bryson DeChambeau took to his Instagram platform, with over 2 million followers, to share some advice for people who struggle with putting. Earlier this month, he posted an image of himself holding a cardboard sign that read:

"Send this to a friend who always 3 putts."

DeChambeau followed it up with hilarious but helpful tips to help combat the issue. He advised players to work on speed control to reduce the number of putts taken on the green.

"What works for me, is using a ruler. Putting a ruler down and marking 10 foot, 20 foot, and 30 foot, and establishing how hard you need to hit your putts. I can practice a 10-footer, a 20-footer, or a 30-footer all day long, and all I’m doing is referencing my foot, exactly where I need to take that putter head back. Over the course of time, that work and that practice you put in will ingrain into a feel. So, for example, I can look up at you, and I can hit a 10-footer just like that perfectly every single time on a flat-level surface. For me, that’s what helps me control my speed the best and allows me to perform at the highest level."
