‘Give the fans what they want!’ Bryson DeChambeau calls out Tiger Woods with surprise offer Last updated: 18 March 2026 Bryson DeChambeau has proposed a high-profile showdown between his LIV Golf Crushers GC team and Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links squad, suggesting the matchup could become a major spectacle for fans. The two-time US Open champion, who has built the Crushers into one of LIV Golf’s most commercially successful franchises through his large YouTube following, believes team formats in golf have untapped potential to captivate audiences. DeChambeau, speaking ahead of LIV Golf’s first tournament in South Africa, emphasized the need for more team-based events in the sport. “We do play team events,” he said, referencing the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. “There should be something else. Why not?” He floated the idea of a televised clash between his Crushers and Woods’ team in an 18-hole, 4-vs-4 format, potentially broadcast on platforms like Netflix. “Let’s go. Let’s do it,” he added, suggesting the matchup could highlight the best teams in the sport. The 32-year-old golfer argued that team rivalries could elevate the game’s appeal, drawing parallels to football’s global viewership. “Only about two million people play football, but there are over 50 million that watch every week,” he noted. “In golf, it’s almost the opposite. We’re getting 3-5 million people watching a week on various tours, and there are probably 50 to 60 million people playing the game.” He believes team events could bridge the gap between casual fans and the sport itself. DeChambeau acknowledged past attempts to commercialize rivalries, such as his 2021 match against Brooks Koepka in “The Match” and a 2024 showdown with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. However, he argued the sport is still underutilizing its competitive spirit.#bryson_dechambeau #liv_golf #tiger_woods #jupiter_links #presidents_cup
“Let’s do it”: Bryson DeChambeau Challenges Tiger Woods to LIV vs. TGL Match Bryson DeChambeau has proposed a high-profile showdown between his LIV Golf team and Tiger Woods’ TGL squad, suggesting a grudge match could elevate team golf’s profile. The idea comes as the sport continues to experiment with team formats, with LIV Golf and TGL emerging as major players in the shift from individual to team competition. DeChambeau, a vocal advocate for team golf, believes such rivalries could attract new fans and reshape the sport’s future. DeChambeau is currently in South Africa for LIV Golf’s first tournament in the country, where his Crushers GC team is set to compete. During a pre-tournament press conference, he reiterated his belief that team golf could become a central part of the sport’s identity. “I do think there’s an opportunity in the future for team golf to be next to the forefront of golf, with all the — even the majors and whatnot,” he said. While he acknowledged that team events like the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup remain the pinnacle, he argued that rivalries between teams could create new excitement. The proposed match between DeChambeau’s Crushers and Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links team would take the form of an 18-hole, 4-on-4 stroke-play showdown. DeChambeau envisioned the event as a high-profile spectacle, potentially broadcast on platforms like Netflix to draw in sports fans unfamiliar with golf. “Imagine a scenario where we’re going up against Jupiter Links on an 18-hole showcase,” he said. “It’d be fun. Show them who’s the best, who’s the best team in the world.” DeChambeau also drew a comparison between golf and football, highlighting the disparity in audience sizes.#bryson_dechambeau #liv_golf #crushers_gc #tiger_woods #jupiter_links
Scottie Scheffler Adheres to Unwritten Tradition at Masters Champions Dinner Scottie Scheffler has made it clear he will not sit near the seats occupied by golf legends Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods during the Masters Champions Dinner, a tradition that has persisted even as the event has evolved over the years. The 2022 Green Jacket winner, now ranked No. 1 in the world, has attended the exclusive gathering twice as a host and has always respected the unspoken protocol surrounding seating arrangements. While the exact details of the tradition remain informal, Scheffler described it as a subtle yet significant aspect of the event. Scheffler explained that the dinner’s seating is divided into informal sections, with players naturally gravitating toward areas that align with their status and history within the sport. However, he emphasized that he would never attempt to sit in the vicinity of Nicklaus and Woods, even as the evening progresses. “There’s kind of spots where you kind of feel you’ll naturally flow into,” he said, adding that the tradition reflects a deep respect for the game’s icons. The event, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club, has long been a highlight of the Masters week, offering a rare opportunity for past champions to reunite. Scheffler, who has already established himself as a future legend of the sport, admitted the experience was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. Hosting the dinner for the first time, he described the moment as a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. “I had no idea what it was going to be like,” he said, noting that the only certainty was where he would sit—next to the club’s chairman, Fred Ridley, and former president, Billy Crenshaw. To ease his nerves, Scheffler enlisted his wife, Meredith, to preview the setup before the event began.#scottie_scheffler #augusta_national_golf_club #tiger_woods #fred_ridley #jack_nicklaus
