American professional golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, credits his father for introducing him to golf. If it wasn’t for him, the golf world wouldn’t have had a chance to watch ‘The Mad Scientist’ hit bombs. His father has been a great support system for the golfer throughout his career. However, he will no longer be there for his son to cheer him before an event.
Jon DeChambeau, the father of the 29-year-old golfer, passed away at the age of 63. The 10-time champion shared the saddening news with the public through his social media profiles. Even though he explained how his father suffered a lot of pain in this life, the LIV Golf rebel hasn’t revealed the reason for his death.
