US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has teased an exciting new YouTube video featuring former President Donald Trump. The pair recently played a round of golf together, and DeChambeau shared a clip on Instagram of himself and Trump posing on the golf course with their arms crossed.

DeChambeau, who clinched his second US Open title last month, announced that Trump will feature in his popular 'Break 50' YouTube series. In this series, DeChambeau aims to play eighteen holes in under 50 strokes from the red tees—the furthest-forward tees—alongside a high-profile guest. Trump’s appearance on the show is set to be one of the most high-profile collaborations yet.

DeChambeau clarified on X, formerly known as Twitter. For every stroke they score under par, both DeChambeau and Trump will donate $10,000 to a charity supporting US veterans and active duty service members.

The video is highly anticipated and expected to draw significant attention, potentially breaking records for DeChambeau's channel. With 870,000 subscribers and counting, the golfer has built a substantial following. His 'Break 50' series, where he and a celebrity partner attempt to shoot 49 or better in a single round with a two-person best ball format, has featured notable personalities such as Sergio Garcia and Paige Spiranac.

DeChambeau's 'Break 50' teaser clip of him and Trump standing on a green with their arms folded has already garnered much attention. Trump's golf skills have been a frequent topic of discussion, and viewers will now get an inside look at his game alongside one of the best players in the world. Trump, who has claimed to be a single-digit handicap and a winner of numerous club championships, will now showcase his abilities in this unique format.

The collaboration came about after DeChambeau reached out to both parties’ presidential campaigns. Trump was quick to accept the challenge, marking another chapter in the long relationship between the golfer and the former President. DeChambeau, now a LIV Golfer, has been sponsored by Trump in the past and even celebrated his recent US Open win at Trump National Golf Club in New York.

The episode featuring Trump is set to release on Tuesday, and given the buzz surrounding it, it could surpass DeChambeau's current most-watched video—a match against Phil Mickelson with over 3 million views. Many expect the Trump episode to achieve similar numbers within 24 hours of its release.
