Bryson DeChambeau is a sellout, which makes his latest PR push awfully rich.
By Sally Jenkins, The Washington PostBryson DeChambeau holds the trophy after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament Sunday, June 16, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C. . It happens sometimes. The better golfer from tee to green, and the stronger man of character, was not Bryson DeChambeau.
The cringiest moment of DeChambeau’s post-victory ingratiating was when he disgracefully invoked the late Payne Stewart, the vividly clad icon. After DeChambeau made that save from the bunker, he bellowed, “That’s Payne right there, baby!” as he walked off the 18th green. As if Stewart had somehow intervened from heaven - or would have ever given him a benediction.
Meanwhile, here was DeChambeau’s noble stand on the Saudis, after agreeing to take their money: “Nobody is perfect.”Stewart declared in his prime, “I’m not going to follow that money train,” and he stuck to it, declining some large exhibition fees to stay true to his loyalties. McIlroy is the real heir in that respect to Stewart, not DeChambeau, to whom Stewart would most likely have delivered a heated lecture. As early as 2019, McIlroy declined appearance fees from the Saudis.
