A former PGA Tour champion has publicly condemned a recently surfaced video featuring professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, labeling it “disgraceful” and calling it damaging to the sport’s image.
The controversial clip, which has quickly spread across social media, shows DeChambeau in a situation that some critics believe reflects poorly on golf’s professional standards. While the exact content of the video hasn’t been officially addressed by DeChambeau or his team, its tone and context have sparked significant backlash among fans and fellow professionals.
Reacting strongly to the footage, the former PGA Tour winner—whose name has not been disclosed in some reports—expressed disappointment in DeChambeau’s behavior. He emphasized that players at the highest level are role models and should uphold the values of sportsmanship, discipline, and respect for the game.
“This isn’t what the PGA Tour should stand for,” the former champion stated. “It’s embarrassing for the sport and for young fans watching.”
This criticism adds to a growing list of controversies involving DeChambeau, a polarizing figure known for his unconventional methods and outspoken nature. While some admire his innovation and power-driven approach to the game, others believe his attitude and antics often cross the line.
The PGA Tour has not yet issued an official comment on the video or the backlash. It remains to be seen whether disciplinary action will be considered, or if DeChambeau will respond to the criticism himself.
