It’s not one of golf’s major championships, but this is could shape up to be a must-watch for all golf fans.
LIV Golf star and 2024 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau announced that Donald Trump will be on the latest episode of his “Break 50” YouTube golf challenge.
The video, which is set to drop at some point today, is a “special episode.”
Not because of the celebrity firepower, but as DeChambeau announced “we will be donating $10,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project for every stroke we score under par. Stay tuned.”
DeChambeau’s “Break 50” series on his popular YouTube channel is a challenge where he and a guest try to score less than 50 from the shortest tee boxes over 18 holes.
DeChambeau added that his team reached out to both the Trump and Biden presidential campaigns to see if they’d like to join him on his channel.
“To be clear, this is about golf and giving back to our nation’s veterans, not politics,” DeChambeau tweeted. “A few weeks ago I reached out to both parties’ presidential campaigns and [Trump] was down for the challenge. It is an incredible honor to be able to enjoy a round of golf with any sitting or former president, and all have an open invitation to join me for a round of Break 50 anytime.”

Trump of course is a well-known, avid golfer. He is also the namesake of many golf courses and resorts around the world. Trump has also claimed his golf handicap has gotten as low as two.
Recently, Trump’s golf game has been in the spotlight after last month’s presidential debate against Biden. The two went back and forth about each other’s golf games during the debate, and later at a rally the former president challenged Biden to a $1 million golf match where he’d give him 10 strokes per nine holes (20 total).
Trump and DeChambeau have previously teamed up together on the links when they golfed together at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey during its Pro-Am.
