Bryson DeChambeau, the two-time U.S. Open champion, might have found a new partner off the golf course. Reports are circulating that the LIV Golf star is romantically linked to Mikayla Demaiter, a former hockey goalie turned Instagram sensation.
DeChambeau's 2026 season on the course hasn't been stellar. He missed the cut at the Masters, PGA Championship, and U.S. Open, but managed a tie for 14th at the Open Championship. His chances at Royal Portrush were hampered by a two-shot penalty for inadvertently improving his swing area, a call he believes cost him a real shot at the Claret Jug.
“I wish I’d have given it more on Saturday and Sunday; it felt like I could have,” DeChambeau said. “Besides the fifth, being three over on it, and the 11th, that’s six shots. That’s tied for the lead right there. Two holes and I’m right there for the Claret Jug.”
Now, the buzz is about his personal life. The U.S. Sun reports that Demaiter was spotted wearing a LIV Golf guest pass and was later seen with a Crushers GC cap in her hotel room. She also posted a selfie in front of a closet filled with hats and sneakers, which fans speculated was at DeChambeau's home, adding fuel to the dating rumors.
So, who is Mikayla Demaiter? Before her rise as a social media influencer, she played goalie for the Bluewater Hawks in Canada’s Provincial Women’s Hockey League Junior League. She's since pivoted to modeling and content creation, amassing over three million Instagram followers and collaborating with numerous brands.
Neither DeChambeau nor Demaiter has publicly commented on the rumors. If true, it would be a notable addition to the world of celebrity athlete romances.
While DeChambeau's focus remains on improving his game, his off-course life is generating its own headlines. Fans are eager to see if the pair will confirm their relationship or if this is just another social media speculation.
For now, the golf world watches both his swing and his love life with interest. The golf community has seen its share of surprises, and this potential pairing is certainly one of them.
