]]> Nothing in life is more certain death, taxes and Bryson DeChambeau going viral. Last week, we debated the somethingburger vs. nothingburger of an incident between DeChambeau and a spotter at Royal Portrush. Feelings were mixed, but in my response I wrote:

“On it’s own, this video is just another bullet, not the smoking gun, but this is hardly the first time he’s [DeChambeau] let the mask slip. Rightly or wrongly, repeat offenders are always judged on a different curve, and if DeChambeau keeps courting seemingly avoidable controversies like this, we’ll have to take him downtown and book him.”

Less than a week later, we already have another one.

On Monday, a video surfaced of DeChambeau telling an official at LIV Golf’s UK event that fans of the good-time golf league were perhaps having a bit too good of a time. Let’s go to the tape, shall we?

“I love the banter up there,” DeChambeau was overhead saying, “but they can’t be saying ‘miss it, miss it.’”

DeChambeau has faced “soft” allegations before—who could forget the Great Rope Incident of 2022?—but this time he isn’t objecting to criticism from the media or even a peer. He is objecting to sports fans doing, well, what sports fans do. Needless to say, online opinion-havers weren’t impressed with DeChambeau’s latest show of thin skin.

Should fans be shouting “Miss it! Miss it!” at pro golfers while they’re trying to do their jobs? Gallery etiquette tells us no. Can they shout it, legally and otherwise? They sure can, especially at an event that features a dedicated “party hole.” DeChambeau shouldn’t play so fast and loose with his modal verbs, because in this case, they make a big difference. To a certain extent, his linguistic choices could even be seen as damning. If DeChambeau says fans shouldn’t openly root against players, maybe he has a case. That’s a moral quandary—an issue of right and wrong. When he says they can’t, he’s using his status as a celebrity and pro and to dictate what other people are allowed to say. In other words, he’s being a narc.

That’s one take, at least. There is a cosmic rainbow of other viewpoints, and you need only brave the comment section of any DeChambeau clip to read them. If you’re looking for a guilty/not guilty verdict from us, however, you came to the wrong place. But we can say definitively, without hesitation or hedging, that DeChambeau will continue to court controversy, stir the pot and occasionally step in it no matter where he goes. That’s just who he is—neither superhero nor villain, but something complicated in between.
