Bryson DeChambeau gives Phil Mickelson a surprising YouTube advice

Bryson DeChambeau has put a lot of work into competitive golf courses and competitive golf courses, and his popular YouTube channel plays a big role in expanding his fan base.

DeChambeau loves to discuss his YouTube channel, his thinking process, and his strong belief in its long-term position in the golf ecosystem. With DeChambeau’s YouTube Trail, several other professional golfers have started their own channels, including Tommy Fleetwood and Phil Mickelson.

On Tuesday, at his 2025 U.S. Open Preliminary press conference, DeChambeau was asked if any players asked him to provide advice on starting and developing YouTube channels. He said there were only a few, Mickelson was the one with the most weeds.

“Phil Mickelson is one of the only people who do this,” Dechambeau said. “Jon Rahm and I have a little talk to me. He is busy with family and I totally respect that and admire it. Phil is very interested. He also thinks it is a viable option for commercialization, future, inspiration, education, entertainment. He does a short game series. He does a short game, what he means to the teaching of the public, so he has a small interest in him. Grant Horvat, it’s great to help him a little.”

DeChambeau and Mickelson have already learned about their areas of expertise, Mickelson has given DeChambeau a brief pointer, while two U.S. Open champions have involved how to develop YouTube channels.

“It’s fun because he taught me a bunch of them in the short game, so we exchanged ideas in this character,” DeChambeau said. “He taught me a few things from the bunker and the wedge, and I’m like, OK, this is what we do for the channel, and it makes it even more fun. Something that’s kind of fun. It’s fun.”

So, what advice does DeChambeau make to 54-year-old Mickelson?

DeChambeau gave his LIV golf queue three pillars, including a man who is not usually doing creative work on the internet.

“Okay, first of all, I said, you can be yourself,” Deschamps said. “You have creative control to be yourself and I think that’s so beautiful. You hired the right team to know you, and that allows you to be yourself, one person. I said, two, you can do what you want to do. Anything you want to do.

Then unexpectedly.

“Three, listen to people in the comments section,” DeChambeau said. “Read it carefully, read everything and see what they want. These are the things we see the most. That’s why we’ve grown the channel and I said ‘Our team. It’s a team. I have a team behind me. We’ve now turned the channel into 2 million more than 2 million followers and can be more grateful, and by looking at the comments and looking at their comments, it’s literally what it thinks about them.”

Bryson reads the review. Who would have thought?

As for what other professionals think about YouTube golf, Rory McIlroy said at the Players Championship that it wasn’t for him. Xander Schauffele quickly refuted the idea of ​​starting his channel on Monday.

However, both Schauffele and Collin Morikawa challenged Oakmont using YouTube, which used DeChambeau’s latest video (2.8 million views as of this writing) to see what he was walking.

“I really watched some Bryson videos,” Morikava said. “I want to say there was another video on Twitter that had like a flyover that I watched. But it’s so hard — like I watch it and then I try and almost forget about it because it’s nice to have a good sense of what it’s like, but then when you actually step foot on 1 or you step foot on 17 and 18, your head and how I process a golf course completely changes because Maybe it looked like this on a TV, but then you step there and you’re like, oh, it’s how I would shape this hole, how I would shape this hole, how ”

There is no message about Morikawa leaving some instructions for DeChambeau in the comments section.
