Bryson DeChambeau‘s YouTube channel has seen a rapid rise in recent times. Since making his debut as a golf content creator 3 years ago, DeChambeau has gained 1.59M subscribers and has peaked at 13 million views for one of his videos.
His channel has undoubtedly received a lot of love and support from the fans. The variety of content he has to offer has been quite enjoyable and he often receives positive feedback for his efforts. But a fellow golf content creator believes that DeChambeau’s content comes with an expiry date.
YouTuber and PGA Tour reporter Grant Horvat recently sat down for The Rough Cut Golf Podcast to discuss the future of YouTube golf. During the interview, the hosts asked Horvat about his opinion on the direction YouTube golf was heading. Being a golf content creator himself, Horvat shared his experience being in the space as he said, “I think it’s just really saturated.” Speaking about the limitations of golf content, he added, “A lot of the things have already been done. It’s a lot of the same old stuff,” after mentioning how there are a lot of golf content creators now.
Horvat did admit “YouTube golf, it’s going to keep growing for I don’t know how many more years.” But he also warned his fellow golf content creators, “You can only get so creative with golf.” Horvat still emphasized how “There’s still a lot of possibilities to get creative, but you got to always remember, when it’s circled around the game of golf, you can only go (so far).” Horvat said that there is a better future for “a vlogger or a guy that does anything and everything” to survive in the YouTube space. That’s when he gave credit to YouTubers like Ryan Trahan who is known for expanding his golf content beyond the course.

Uncertain about the future of YouTube golf, Horvat said, “I see a guy like Bryson (DeChambeau) kind of setting the tone with guests and the concept together.” Acknowledging DeChambeau’s golfing skills and abilities, Horvat said, “I’m never going to be Bryson DeChambeau and I don’t think anyone in the YouTube golf space will be unless some other greats get into YouTube.”
Horvat admitted he also admires DeChambeau as he added, “I think he’s also just unbelievably impressive with where he is at in his life and how good he hits the golf ball.” Talking about how challenging it would be to go against DeChambeau’s YouTube channel due to his abilities, he said, “Nobody can play up truly to that level.” Complimenting the kind of content Bryson DeChambeau posts, Horvart confessed, “The concept of the ‘Break 50’ was so good, and he can pull off the guests because he is Bryson DeChambeau,” as he went on to explain that DeChambeau will “set the tone” of the future of YouTube golf content. The crew continued further to discuss the various aspects of golf content creation.
Additionally, Grant Horvat did make some great points regarding YouTube golf content. Bryson DeChambeau should definitely consider these aspects as it seems he has also stopped getting creative with his content and recycling his own ‘same old stuff’. Let’s explore Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube content to understand the trend he follows.
Bryson DeChambeau, the part-time YouTuber
The ‘Break 50’ series on LIV Golf player, Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube channel has been the highlight so far. His channel reached its peak of 13 million views when he hosted the 47th POTUS, Donald Trump in the series. He has also hosted the likes of Phil Mickelson, John Daly, and Paige Spiranac as well which garnered a lot of views for him. Grant Horvat has also joined Bryson DeChambeau for the series as the two content creators ended with a score of -20 (3 short of 49).
Apart from the ‘Break 50’ series, DeChambeau also takes up a variety of other challenges like playing against 3 top junior golfers, breaking course records, or just sharing his journey as he prepares for a major. While his content does get a lot of views, a lot of credit would also go to his fame and status. It will be interesting to see how long the YouTube golf era would last.
