Bryson DeChambeau and Donald Trump tee off to support Wounded Warriors

In a week shadowed by a recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, a new video featuring U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau and Trump playing a round of golf has provided a lighter moment for many. The video, part of DeChambeau's popular "Break 50" series, has taken the internet by storm, garnering over 1 million views within the first six hours of posting, making it an instant viral sensation.

In the video, DeChambeau and Trump team up at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, playing a two-person scramble from the red tees. The goal of the challenge was to shoot lower than 50, a feat DeChambeau has attempted with various guests, including notable golf influencer Paige Spirinac. Despite their best efforts, the duo only managed to match DeChambeau's previous best, finishing with a score of 50.

The round was not just for fun; it was also for a great cause. DeChambeau and Trump pledged to donate $10,000 per birdie and $20,000 per eagle to Wounded Warriors, a non-profit organization that supports U.S. military veterans. Trump's impressive performance included two solo birdies and an exciting eagle, contributing major bonuses to the video’s charitable efforts.

Viewers were treated to some entertaining banter between DeChambeau and Trump, including a playful jab at current President Joe Biden. After Trump hit a remarkable tee shot on a par three, landing just 15 feet from the hole, he quipped, "You think Biden could do that? We had an argument about golf, can you believe it?"

Throughout the video, Trump expressed genuine curiosity and praise for DeChambeau's techniques and strategies, asking numerous questions about his game throughout the round. His reactions to DeChambeau's powerful shots, including a 300-yard drive uphill with a three-wood, added constant comedic highlights to the video.

The chemistry between DeChambeau and Trump was palpable, with both expressing a desire to team up again in the future. "We'll do it again," Trump said at the end of the video, to which DeChambeau responded, "We'll have to do it again."

The video's rapid surge in viewership is a testament to the unique combination of DeChambeau's golf prowess and Trump's high-profile, powerful presence. Fans of both personalities have flocked to YouTube to watch their entertaining round, making it one of DeChambeau's most successful videos to date. 

This collaboration between DeChambeau and Trump not only provided a memorable experience for us all to enjoy, while also raising substantial funds for a worthy cause. As fans eagerly await the next installment, it's clear that this dynamic duo has struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
