Bryson DeChambeau’s latest social media stunt attracted the attention of millions of people worldwide.

The LIV Golf star spent 16 days trying to make a hole-in-one over his house and eventually accomplished the feat on his 134th attempt.

DeChambeau’s ace actually defied the odds. The numbers suggest the American should have spent over 40 days at the challenge before finally holing out.

Another noteworthy aspect is the social media attention DeChambeau received during the 16-day event.

DeChambeau broadcasted the challenge on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Here are the viewing figures.

On TikTok, 82.3m of the challenge overall and 81.5m tuned in on Instagram.

YouTube saw 7.98m people engaged, so in total, 171m people caught a glimpse of DeChambeau attempting to make a hole-in-one over his house.

Interestingly, DeChambeau abandoned posting on Facebook after two days after getting less than 80,000 hits per video.

Unsurprisingly, the American’s subscriber count has boomed. DeChambeau’s YouTube following increased after his US Open win, but the latest growth has also occurred on Instagram and TikTok.

During the 16-day challenge, DeChambeau gained 341,000 Instagram followers, 400,000 TikTok followers and 30,000 YouTube subscribers.

DeChambeau is undoubtedly the king of golf YouTube content and is pushing the limits of what is possible on social media.

The American is taking golf into the mainstream and added attention would massively benefit the sport moving forward. At a time when PGA Tour viewing figures are down, attracting a new audience is a must, and it feels like DeChambeau is the man who will be responsible if there’s a sudden boom in the near future.
