YouTube golf sensation Rick Shiels has suggested a video idea which could eclipse Bryson DeChambeau’s record-breaking collaboration with Donald Trump.

The LIV Golf star broke the internet after teaming up with Trump for a ‘Break 50’ challenge at the 78-year-old’s Bedminster resort.

DeChambeau did have to clarify the reasoning behind the collaboration beforehand, with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Shiels, however, believes he can now go one better.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Rick Shiels Golf Show, the YouTube star made a jovial suggestion which involved playing a match against Tiger Woods at Augusta National.

“The challenge is what actually beats that video,” he explained.

“Tiger, this is the chance. Come on. You like being number one. Let’s do a 10-shot challenge, me and you, at Augusta National. Call me!”

Shiels has previously played 18 holes at Augusta but was prevented from filming his round.

Bryson DeChambeau continues to move the YouTube golf needle

DeChambeau’s work in the world of YouTube continues to do wonders for the game as a whole.

In the 24 hours after his video with Trump was released, the big-hitting American increased his subscriber count by over 30%, smashed the one million subscriber threshold and raised over $250,000 for charity.

The LIV star has realised the untapped audience and is clearly taking advantage of it.

In a golfing world that has recently seen a vast divide emerge, DeChambeau’s online influence can only be viewed as a massive positive.
