Key background<\/h2>\n

On the par-4 fifth hole of The Open on Friday, DeChambeau\u2019s drive left his ball in thick rough with a difficult recovery shot. As he assessed the ball, television footage showed he repeatedly stepped on grass and shuffled his feet behind the ball, flattening the terrain in the area where his backswing would pass. Officials later said he\u2019d unintentionally improved the “conditions affecting the stroke” by creating a clearer swing path, and gave him a two-shot penalty, turning the hole from a bogey 5 into a triple-bogey 7. The penalty changed his second-round score from 66 to 68, and dropped him from one shot off the lead to three back. <\/p>\n

BIG NUMBER<\/h2>\n

Two hours. After it became clear the penalty wouldn\u2019t be overturned, that\u2019s how long DeChambeau left the media and his fellow golfers waiting before announcing he would continue in the tournament. His procrastination delayed the release of third-round tee times until nearly 11 p.m., and he didn\u2019t announce he\u2019d keep playing until almost midnight.<\/p>\n

CRUCIAL QUOTE<\/h2>\n

“Yeah, look, I won’t pretend to be up here and defend Bryson. I’m not particularly fond of him,\u201d DeChambeau\u2019s rival Rory McIlroy said on Friday. \u201cI think a lot of it’s performative. I think a lot of it’s for attention. To hold the tournament hostage like that, and to have all of us, players, volunteers, everyone waiting on him to depart, I didn’t feel like it was a great look.\u201d<\/p>\n

TANGENT<\/h2>\n

DeChambeau has a longstanding friendship with Trump that dates back to early in his career. In 2020, Trump\u2019s son Eric Trump hosted a party<\/u> for DeChambeau at the Trump National Golf Club following his victory in the U.S. Open. DeChambeau and Trump have played rounds together at Trump-owned courses and their relationship became especially visible in 2024, when they filmed themselves for the viral “Break 50” YouTube golf challenge at Trump National in Bedminster. The video<\/u> has 17 million views. DeChambeau has described Trump as a friend and the president has repeatedly complimented the golfer\u2019s talent and personality. DeChambeau endorsed Trump during the 2024 presidential election cycle and now serves on the President\u2019s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.<\/p>\n

FORBES VALUATION<\/h2>\n

DeChambeau, 32, is ranked by Forbes as the fourth highest-paid golfer in the world with an estimated $52 million earned last year. He’s playing for and captaining a team in the floundering<\/u> LIV Golf league, but his contract is nearing expiration and he’s suggested<\/u> he’ll transition to being a full-time content creator if an agreement cannot be reached. His YouTube channel<\/u> boasts 2.7 million subscribers and his videos golfing with Adam Sandler and Stephen Curry have gone viral. <\/p>\n
