Bryson DeChambeau Grabs Attention With Five-Word Message to Justin Bieber

Bryson DeChambeau Grabs Attention With Five-Word Message to Justin Bieber

Yahoo08-05-2025
On May 4, Bryson DeChambeau clinched a dramatic win at LIV Golf Korea, finally converting a 36-hole lead into a much-anticipated victory. The 2024 U.S. Open champ shot a 6-under 66 to outlast his Crushers GC teammate Charles Howell III by two strokes. It marked his third individual LIV title and a triumphant response to several close calls earlier in the season.
Soon after, social media turned its eyes to another kind of golf buzz, one involving celebrities trading red carpets for green fairways. Justin Bieber, dressed in an all-white outfit (including a tank top), shared a flood of Instagram Reels over the weekend, showing off his swing. While his GHIN handicap remains a mystery, 'he isn't entering his scores,' as noted by golf sleuths, his passion for the game is clear.

That's when DeChambeau made a move—off the course and into Bieber's comments section, with five simple words:

'Let's film some golf content.'
It was enough to stir golf fans and pop culture junkies alike. The idea of a DeChambeau-Bieber collaboration suddenly didn't seem far-fetched. Imagine 'Breaking 50 with Justin Bieber' or a music video with the reigning U.S. Open winner walking beside the singer down the fairway.
With stars like Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda having attended the Met Gala in years past, golf's pop culture crossover seems overdue for another moment. DeChambeau's playful pitch to Bieber might just tee it up.
DeCha͏mbe͏a͏u will now arrive at the 2025 P͏GA Champion͏s͏hip͏ as a confiden͏t ͏threat to win the Wanamaker. For Bryson DeChambeau, ͏the͏ fourth ti͏me was a charm in 2025.

The new U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament begins with the defending champions showing how it's done

NEW YORK — The U.S. Open overhauled its mixed doubles tournament in hopes of drawing the top singles players. The defending champions don't intend to move out of the way so easily. Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori earned the first win in the tournament, beating the No. 2-seeded team of Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina 4-2, 4-2. Traditional doubles specialists like the Italian combo were among the biggest critics of the changes, with a format that feels more like an exhibition than one worthy of a Grand Slam trophy. The prize of $1 million to the winning team would be a huge boost to doubles players, but Errani and Vavassori are the only traditional doubles team in the event. 'We also are playing for all the doubles players who could not compete here, so we tried to do out best,' Vavassori said. Fritz, last year's U.S. Open runner-up in men's singles, and Rybakina, a past Wimbledon women's singles champion, are exactly the types of players the U.S. Tennis Association was seeking when it revamped the tournament. Now a 16-team event played over two days, the mixed doubles starts well before the singles tournaments begin, with organizers believing singles stars would be more interested in playing if it didn't interfere with their rest and recovery during that event. Errani and Vavassori didn't even know originally if they would get a chance to defend their title in the new format, which gives eight teams automatic spots based on the players' combined singles rankings. The other spots are wild cards awarded by the USTA. The Italians were given one of them and they showed off their skills in a victory that took just 42 minutes. The shortened format allows the matches to speed by, knowing winning teams would have to play twice on the first day to reach the semifinals and finals. The highlight match for the first-round schedule was to come in the afternoon, when Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu took on the top-seeded team of Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper.

Boxer Chavez Jr jailed in Mexico after US deportation

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has entered a prison in the northern Mexico state of Sonora after his arrest in the United States in July, Mexico's national arrest registry showed on Tuesday. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in her daily press conference said the 39-year-old been deported. She previously said there was a warrant for his arrest for charges of arms trafficking and organized crime, and that prosecutors were working on the case. The Mexican attorney general's office declined to comment. Chavez Jr, the son of a legendary former world champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez, was detained by U.S. immigration authorities shortly after losing in a sold-out match to American influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Mexican prosecutors allege he acted as a henchman for the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, which Washington designated a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. Chavez Jr's lawyer and family have rejected the accusations. Mexico's national arrest registry showed that the boxer was arrested at a checkpoint in the Mexican border city of Nogales at 11:53 a.m. local time, and transferred to a federal institution in Sonora's capital of Hermosillo. Chavez Jr was wearing a black hoodie and red sneakers, it said. Chavez Jr won the WBC middleweight championship in 2011, but lost the title the following year. His career has been overshadowed by controversies including a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance in 2009, and a fine and suspension after testing positive for marijuana in 2013.

India plans to ban online games played with money, citing addiction risks

By Aftab Ahmed and Aditya Kalra NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's government plans to ban online games played with money, a proposed bill showed on Tuesday, in what would be a heavy blow for an industry that has attracted billions of dollars of foreign investment. Citing psychological and financial harm it says can be caused by such games, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025 says that no person "shall offer, aid, abet, induce or otherwise indulge or engage in" the offering of online money games and such services. The 13-page bill, which has not yet been made public but has been reviewed by Reuters, describes an online money game as one played by a user by depositing money in expectation of winning monetary and other enrichment. The Indian market for such gaming is set to be worth $3.6 billion by 2029, venture capital firm Lumikai says. Endorsements by top Indian cricketers and other marketing efforts have boosted appeal and investor interest of real money gaming apps such as the popular fantasy cricket games operated by startups Dream11 and Mobile Premier League. Dream11 commands a valuation of $8 billion while Mobile Premier League is valued at $2.5 billion, PitchBook data shows. The Indian government has long been concerned about how such games are addictive. India's IT ministry, which has drafted the bill, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. MPL and Dream11 declined to comment. In fantasy cricket games on Dream11, users create their teams by paying as little as 8 rupees (10 U.S. cents), with a total prize pool of 1.2 million Indian rupees ($14,000). The apps become more popular during the Indian Premier League season, one of the world's most popular cricket tournaments. The bill states that anyone who offers such money games could face a jail term of up to three years and a fine. "Such games often use manipulative design features, addictive algorithms ... while promoting compulsive behaviour leading to financial ruin," the bill said.
