Overview

• On Golf Channel’s Live From, Brandel Chamblee questioned Bryson DeChambeau’s team focus and called his YouTube view counts “dubious,” alleging bot inflation.
• Chamblee further labeled DeChambeau an “odd duck,” warned he could be difficult to pair, and cited the risk of “bulletin board” material.
• DeChambeau is the lone LIV Golf player on Team USA, and reporters observed him using a launch monitor on every tee shot during a practice round at Bethpage Black.
• Keegan Bradley publicly backed DeChambeau, praising his commitment and saying he has gone “above and beyond” as a teammate.
• The criticism follows renewed friction with Rory McIlroy, after which DeChambeau emphasized his YouTube outreach and said he expects a charged New York crowd.
