Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter romance officially confirmed after LIV Golf appearance

Bryson DeChambeau is officially dating Canadian model and social media personality Mikayla Demaiter, bringing an end to several weeks of speculation surrounding the LIV Golf star's love life.

The relationship was confirmed by Us Weekly last week, with a source telling the publication that DeChambeau and Demaiter are both “pretty private” about their relationships but are “very happy” together.

The news came after eagle-eyed fans had spent weeks putting together a series of clues linking the pair.

Now, their relationship has become even harder to keep under wraps after Demaiter was seen supporting DeChambeau at LIV Golf Indianapolis, where the couple were spotted together during the season-ending event.

Reports from the tournament also described a more intimate moment between the pair, with The Athletic reporting that DeChambeau kissed his girlfriend before leaving following Sunday's action.

That public appearance represents quite a change from the weeks of speculation that preceded it.

The first major clues emerged at LIV Golf New York, where Demaiter was spotted wearing a LIV Golf guest pass and a Crushers GC hat. DeChambeau is captain of the Crushers, immediately prompting fans to question whether there was more to their connection.

Things became even more interesting when Demaiter subsequently shared photographs from what appeared to be DeChambeau's home gym.

In one series of images, Demaiter posed beside gym equipment carrying DeChambeau's former logo, while the Canadian's social-media posts continued to attract attention from fans trying to establish whether the pair were romantically involved.

At the time, however, neither had publicly confirmed anything.

That has now changed, at least through the reporting of multiple outlets.

Who is Bryson DeChambeau's girlfriend Mikayla Demaiter?

Demaiter, 26, is a Canadian model, influencer and former ice hockey goaltender who has built a huge following online.

She previously played for the Bluewater Hawks in Canada's Provincial Women's Hockey League before retiring from hockey at the age of 19 following an injury.

Demaiter subsequently moved into modelling and social media, where she has amassed more than three million Instagram followers.

DeChambeau, meanwhile, remains one of the biggest names in professional golf.

The two-time U.S. Open champion has become one of LIV Golf's most recognisable players since joining the league and captains Crushers GC.

His relationship with Demaiter has therefore attracted considerable attention from both golf and social-media audiences.

Interestingly, the timing comes during a mixed season for DeChambeau.

He won LIV Golf events in Singapore and South Africa earlier in the campaign, but his major championship season proved considerably more difficult, with missed cuts at The Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open before he finished tied for 14th at The Open Championship.

DeChambeau was also handed a two-shot penalty at Royal Birkdale after officials ruled that he had improved his stance in a bunker during the second round.

Away from tournament golf, DeChambeau remains one of the sport's biggest digital personalities, with his YouTube content attracting a substantial audience.

His personal life has now become another major source of interest.

Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter are officially dating

After weeks of social-media clues, LIV Golf appearances and plenty of online detective work, there is no longer any need to describe Demaiter as DeChambeau's “apparent” girlfriend.

Multiple reports have confirmed that the pair are dating, while their appearance together at LIV Golf Indianapolis provided another very public indication of their relationship.

DeChambeau and Demaiter are said to prefer keeping their personal lives private.

The question is no longer whether Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter are dating.

They are.
