“Are his initials TW?”, “Legendary” – Fans react to Bryson DeChambeau being swarmed by fans at Oakmont

Golf enthusiasts reacted on social media after Bryson DeChambeau was swamped by fans for autographs as the defending champion arrived at the 2025 US Open. This week's Major is scheduled to start with its opening round on Thursday, June 12, and the players have started reaching the venue to begin their practice session.

On Monday, golf analyst Claire Rogers shared a picture of Bryson DeChambeau at the Oakmont Country Club. The American was surrounded by fans for his autographs. Sharing the post, Rogers wrote:

"I have only seen one other player in golf requiring this level of security"

Fans in the comment section talked about the popularity of the two-time Major winner. Some even called him "legendary."

"Are his initials TW?" a fan asked.

"Legendary" another fan said.

Meanwhile, a fan hilariously said that the security by his side was to make sure he stayed on the LIV Golf.

"That's just LIV security keeping him from running back to the PGA full time.." a fan added.

Some fans credited his active presence on social media for his popularity.

"@brysondech and all he does, especially on YouTube, is the absolute best thing golf has going for it right now. Scottie is a close second. But what Bryson does for the game is insane good," one more fan added.

"Social media's darling!" one more fan said.

‘Man of the people’ requires 5 security guards?" another fan said.

Bryson DeChambeau has become pretty active on social media in the last few years, and his YouTube channel has become popular among golf fans. He boasts over 2 million subscribers on the platform.
