Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend U.S. Open title as golf's YouTube king
Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend U.S. Open title as golf's YouTube king OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau returns to the 2025 U.S. Open as the defending champion and golf's YouTube king, at least among the pro ranks. From his 2 million YouTube fans watching him try to "Break 50" with the likes of Donald Trump, various influencers and athletes to joining Johnson Wagner as he tried to reproduce his remarkable bunker shot at 18 at Pinehurst No. 2 during Golf Channel's "Live From," people love DeChambeau's content creation. The latest example was on display at Oakmont, site of this week's 125th U.S. Open, when DeChambeau showed up for a practice round on May 31 and filmed every shot. It was riveting stuff that no other player had done before. 'He's done a heck of a job using social media channels to connect with viewers, connect with golfers, and show his true personality because I think he probably didn't do a great job of that early on in his career,' NBC's Kevin Kisner said. ESPN's Scott Van Pelt took his analysis of DeChambeau's reboot as a YouTube star – he's got nearly 3 million Instagram followers and another 2 million on TikTok, too – one step further. 'I think he's now kind of figured out where he wants to be. He's almost reinvented himself in some ways,' he said. 'He's grown as a human, it seems to me. Last year he came and sat down in the Butler Cabin with me on Thursday and Friday, and he's been sort of this — he's played very different characters in a movie. It's almost like he's been many different versions of himself. 'And when he sat and visited with me last year, I just remarked to a number of people, he just seems like a different guy. He seems more at ease with himself. I don't know if it's the tour he plays, I don't know if it's just part of growing up, which is part of all of our lives, but he seemed comfortable, entirely comfortable with himself.' DeChambeau, 31, finally is becoming comfortable in his own skin, and YouTube has helped him let his guard down, he said, 'showing the fans a side of me that was locked up for so long.' 'What's funny is as much as my guard has been let down, I feel like I'm more strategic in how I deliver things and how I give perspective on things. Before, I was pretty up front and would just say things the way I wanted to whenever I wanted to,' he explained. 'Now it's more strategic in the way I do it and deliver it because I think there's a lot of good that can come from that.' DeChambeau has said he's taken a page out of the playbook of MrBeast, whose viral content are the most-watched videos on YouTube. Asked whether any of his peers have turned to him for advice on how to launch a YouTube channel, DeChambeau highlighted Phil Mickelson. Lefty said he'd always seen what he called the playful, fun, intelligent and interesting side of DeChambeau. 'He's able to showcase that and not have who he is be filtered by a middle person,' Mickelson said. 'He controls what content he puts out there and what he wants to shoot and so forth. So his personality comes out. It's been remarkable to see the evolution of it and the way the public has responded to him because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to be noticed, I guess, properly.' In discussing the tips he has passed along to Mickelson, DeChambeau said he reads the comments section and tries to give the people what they want. 'We've grown our channel to over 2 million followers now and couldn't be more thankful, and it's literally by listening to the comments section, by looking at the comments and seeing what they want,' he said. Major champion. Long driver. YouTube star. A case could be made that the latter has become what drives DeChambeau. 'It's a new space. I'm learning how to become a little bit more entertaining,' he said. 'It's not just golf, golf, golf, trying to win every really what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of passion for this game."

Jesus Pinedo vows to 'beat up' Gabriel Braga in 2025 PFL World Tournament 5 trilogy bout
Jesus Pinedo vows to 'beat up' Gabriel Braga in 2025 PFL World Tournament 5 trilogy bout Jesus Pinedo plans to leave no doubt who is the better man in his series with Gabriel Braga when they meet for a third and potentially final time Thursday at 2025 PFL World Tournament 5. When the pair first met in April 2023, it was Braga (16-2) who left with a debatable split decision win. They rematched a few months later in November 2023, with Pinedo (24-6-1) scoring a decisive third-round TKO finish. Now the rubber match is here, and it serves as a featherweight tournament semifinal at Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. (ESPN, ESPN+). Pinedo said he knows Braga has evolved since their previous encounter more than 18 months ago. He has too, though, and when he already thinks he should be up 2-0 in head-to-head matchups, that's a good feeling. "Of course I've improved, but I also realize that Gabriel has improved," Pinedo told MMA Junkie. "But it doesn't matter. I have a family to look after, my career to look after and it's not going to make a difference. I'm going to beat him up in the third fight. "I'm not all about sending messages, I'm just about getting the job done on June 12. That's kind of my style." Pinedo, 28, opened his 2025 tournament run in April with a first-round TKO of Adam Borics. On the same card, Braga, 27, finished Frederik Dupras with a first-round submission to advance in his quarterfinal. The pair concluded the event with an in-cage faceoff to promote the trilogy, and it was there that Pinedo realized his opponent needs to try to use mind games, while he's perfectly comfortable. "He was just saying the same things over and over (in the faceoff) and not really getting to anything," Pinedo said. "Either way, I respect him. I could make out kind of what he was saying, but it wasn't anything that was too vicious."

ESPN's 'College GameDay' Makes Exciting Lee Corso Announcement on Tuesday
ESPN's 'College GameDay' Makes Exciting Lee Corso Announcement on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After what was his 38th season as a part of ESPN's iconic "College GameDay" show, it was announced in April that Lee Corso would be retiring. Advertisement The 89-year-old former head coach best known for his unfiltered takes, willingness to always have fun and iconic headgear picks will join the show one final time in 2025. While it had yet to be confirmed, many fans speculated that Corso's final show would take place in Columbus, Ohio ahead of the Texas-Ohio State matchup. Aside from this being a rematch of a College Football Playoff Semifinal from last season and a likely meeting between two top five teams, it is also where his journey began with the show. On Tuesday, the show confirmed that would indeed be the case. "We're kicking off College GameDay with a trip to Texas-Ohio State, as we celebrate Lee Corso's final show back where he first made headgear history! 🤩," read the post. While Corso's "College GameDay" debut came in 1987, Corso made his first headgear selection prior to a game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Penn State Nittany Lions in Oct. 1996. Advertisement He predicted that the Buckeyes would win (they did), and also sparked one of the best traditions in sports television.

In a statement in April, Corso revealed how blessed he was to have been a part of such a special show. 'My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and 'College GameDay' for nearly 40 years,' said Corso. 'I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement.'
