Overview

• On Golf Channel’s Live From on Sept. 22, Brandel Chamblee questioned Bryson DeChambeau’s team focus and alleged bots inflate his YouTube metrics.
• Chamblee also derided DeChambeau’s persona as a “circus-barker” and mocked LIV Golf as a “witness protection program.”
• The remarks followed DeChambeau discussing his YouTube success when responding to a prompt tied to Rory McIlroy’s recent criticism.
• No substantiating evidence for the bot allegation was presented, and coverage noted Chamblee’s ongoing hostility toward LIV golfers.
• U.S. captain Keegan Bradley praised DeChambeau as “incredible” and protective of the team, with pairings still guarded as DeChambeau practiced with Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, and Ben Griffin.
