Bryson DeChambeau confronts cameraman for damaging his brand




Bryson DeChambeau has made headlines this golf season for his improved physique and his ridiculous driving length. The 26-year-old golfer added 40-plus pounds of muscle and is smashing 400-plus yard drives.

The California native is once again making headlines, only this time, it’s not for a flattering reason.

DeChambeau is getting criticized for what he reportedly told a cameraman on the course at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Saturday.

DeChambeau explained after his round why he was so upset with the cameraman.




“He was literally watching me the whole entire way up after getting out of the bunker, walking up next to the green. And I just was like, ‘Sir, what is the need to watch me that long?’” DeChambeau said, per Golf Channel. “I mean, I understand it’s his job to video me, but at the same point, I think we need to start protecting our players out here compared to showing a potential vulnerability and hurting someone’s image. I just don’t think that’s necessarily the right thing to do.”

“As much as we’re out here performing, I think it’s necessary that we have our times of privacy as well when things aren’t going our way. I mean, we’re in the spotlight, but if somebody else is in the spotlight they wouldn’t want that either,” DeChambeau added. “I feel like when you’re videoing someone and you catch Tiger (Woods) at a bad time, you show him accidentally doing something, or someone else, they’re just frustrated because they really care about the game. It could really hurt them if they catch you at a potentially vulnerable time.”

      First of all Bryson is very special he’s also on the players stage. He can be emotional that’s part of who he is. He’s definitely in the right profession but you don’t have to like him.

    What a CRY BABY! And NO, you gave up your right to privacy when you WANTED to be a public figure. Have you not seen what happened to TIGER??? For THIRTY YEARS, he’s had to deal with the public and press in HIS business 24/7. This is the life YOU chose, so get used to it.

    It didn’t bother Earl Weaver or Billy Martin to be caught on camera. Yes, you are human, not a golfing robot. Embrace it.
