US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has released a new YouTube video featuring Donald Trump after playing a round of golf with the former president.
DeChambeau, who won the US Open for the second time last month, shared a clip on Instagram of him and Trump posing on the golf course with their arms crossed.
“Time for @realdonaldtrump to show YouTube what he’s got,” the caption read.
Trump will appear on DeChambeau’s popular YouTube series “Break 50,” in which the golf star attempts to play nine holes in under 50 strokes from the red tees (the forward tees on each hole) alongside a high-profile guest.
And his latest partner could hardly be higher profile, as Trump is currently in pole position to be re-elected as president later this year.

However, DeChambeau was quick to stress on social media that his relationship with the 78-year-old golfer was in no way a political statement. Instead, for every shot they hit below par, both he and Trump agreed to donate $10,000 to a charity that supports U.S. veterans and active-duty military service members.
“To be clear, this is about golf and giving back to our nation’s veterans, not politics,” DeChambeau wrote in X.
‘A few weeks ago I reached out to the presidential campaigns of both parties and @realDonaldTrump accepted the challenge.
‘It’s an incredible honor to be able to enjoy a round of golf with any sitting or former president, and everyone has an open invitation to join me for a round of Break 50 anytime.’
After beating Rory McIlroy on a dramatic final day at the US Open, DeChambeau was seen celebrating his second major triumph with the Trump family at their Westchester National Golf Club.
Although he was not present, Trump also sent a congratulatory video message to the newly crowned champion, which was played on a television at the party.
Trump and DeChambeau had previously met at a LIV Golf Pro Am tournament.
DeChambeau also celebrated his US Open victory with Trump’s son Eric (left) last month.
“You have everything, you have the long ball and everything else,” the former president said in a short video shared on Instagram by his lawyer, Alina Habba.
DeChambeau was greeted by Trump’s son, Eric, at the club, and the celebrations soon appeared to take a more alcoholic turn.
At one point, Eric held the US Open trophy while Bryson poured red wine on him. As the crowd looked on, he shouted: “That’s a complete trophy, ladies and gentlemen.”
Trump received a major boost in his bid to be nominated for president for a second term after his direct rival Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was dropping out of the race.
Before the 81-year-old made that decision, DeChambeau recently offered to help take Biden’s presidential battle with Trump from the podium to the tee box after they veered into trash talk about golf handicaps in last month’s live televised debate.
Trump considers himself a skilled golfer and has often been seen enjoying a round.
His debate with President Joe Biden last month spiraled out of control as the two aging candidates traded barbs over each other’s golf games.

The debate spiraled out of control when the two older candidates exchanged barbs about their respective golf games after answering questions from CNN moderator Dana Bash about concerns expressed by voters about their ages.
Their disputes culminated in a confrontation between Trump and Biden over their disabilities.
After the awkward exchange of barbs, DeChambeau offered a solution to settle the debate (golf, not the presidency) once and for all.
“Let’s settle this whole handicap debate, I’ll be hosting the golf game on my YouTube @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden,” the LIV golfer posted on X.
