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

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. Related: $72 Million Major Winner Abruptly Withdraws From PGA Tour's Truist Championship

Jon Rahm out to break 2025 win drought ahead of PGA Championship
SEOUL: Former world No. 1 Jon Rahm said Wednesday he had not done himself 'any favors' in his winless start to the season ahead of LIV Golf's South Korea debut. The Spaniard has endured an indifferent 2025 by his own lofty standards, admitting 'small mistakes' had cost him. He failed to mount a serious challenge at last month's Masters and he vowed to clean up his game in South Korea with the second major of the year, the PGA Championship, only two weeks away. 'I'm just not doing everything I need to do right,' Rahm said ahead of LIV Golf Korea, which will also feature US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who played alongside eventual winner Rory McIlroy in the final group at Augusta. 'Sometimes you also need a little bit of luck in your favor, not that I haven't been lucky. 'I just haven't done myself any favors on the golf course, I would say it like that,' added Rahm. The two-time major winner will tee off in Friday's first round at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon alongside the in-form Joaquin Niemann of Chile, who won his third LIV tournament of the season in Mexico last weekend. The 2023 Augusta champion had a frustrating time at this year's Masters, starting poorly with a three-over 75 and leaving himself with too much to do heading into the weekend. He picked up his game but the damage had been done as he finished eight shots behind McIlroy for a share of 14th place. Rahm was second in the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit's season-opening event in Riyadh and has finished in the top 10 in all six tournaments, which have a field of 54 players. 'While I like having top 10s and I like being a good player week-in and week-out, winning obviously is what matters more,' he said. 'I would gladly give up some of those top 10s for more wins. 'I keep playing well, I keep putting myself close enough, just every once in a while there's been enough mistakes where I'm just not quite close enough going into the back nine on Sunday.' Niemann's victory in Mexico secured his berth at the US Open at Oakmont in June. The Chilean added to the titles he won in Singapore and Adelaide this season. 'It's been an exciting last six events here at LIV, the way I've been playing, the way I've been feeling on the course,' said the 26-year-old. 'I felt like there's been a lot of trust and a lot of faith in the work that I've been putting in.'
