Rumors have been swirling around a potential romance between Mikayla Demaiter and professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, after the two were spotted together at several high‑profile golf tournaments.
From Hockey Glory to Social Media Stardom
Demaiter once guarded the net for the Bluewater Hawks in Canada’s Provincial Women’s Hockey League Junior League, but a teenage injury forced her to hang up her pads at 19. She pivoted to the digital arena, where her hockey‑centric posts and charismatic presence have attracted more than three million followers on Instagram and nearly three million on TikTok, earning her the moniker “the world’s sexiest hockey player.”
In a May Instagram story she wrote that her favorite part of hockey is being “number one,” a sentiment she paired with a supportive message for Canada’s women’s team after their February loss to the United States in the Milan Olympics gold‑medal match.
A Cross‑Sport Connection
Fans first linked Demaiter to DeChambeau when she appeared at LIV Golf New York wearing a Crushers GC cap, the team the American champion captains. A subsequent selfie featuring golf accessories and a snapshot of a fairway sparked further speculation that she was visiting DeChambeau’s residence.
According to insiders cited by Us Weekly, the influencer intends to attend upcoming LIV Golf events, including the Indianapolis tournament, as a show of support for the golfer whose 2025 season has been marred by missed cuts at the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open.
Challenges on the Fairway
DeChambeau’s campaign has not been without setbacks. A two‑shot penalty at The Open for “inadvertently improving the area of his intended swing” added to a string of disappointing performances, prompting analysts to question his form despite his earlier U.S. Open victories.
While the golfer’s professional trajectory faces turbulence, those close to the pair suggest the relationship, if confirmed, could provide a stabilizing influence as both navigate transitions in their respective sports.
