Sauce Gardner Is All-In On Golf, Bryson DeChambeau Offers Lesson

Published|Updated

Is America about to get the greatest collaboration in history?! New York Jets star Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner is suddenly a golf junkie and U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau offered to give him a lesson.

YES, PLEASE! DeChambeau's YouTube channel is one of the best things going in golf as he continues his transformation from golf villain into one of the most likable players in the sport. 

Gardner is one of the NFL's premiere cornerbacks, an incredible athlete, and has a ton of personality. The combination might be too much to handle.

But let's start with Gardner, who has flooded his social media accounts this month with golf content, as he apparently just discovered the game and an apparent love that was always bubbling below the surface. 

As with any new golfer, Gardner is going through ups-and-downs. He started with a wicked slice off-the-tee, but took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask for help. 

As Gardner quickly learned, "Golf Twitter" is among the best places on the Internet. Well, that might be too strong. But it's not nearly as vitriolic as many other corners of social media. Instead of people just roasting Gardner for his poor technique, most are trying to help him improve. 

The PGA of America even chimed in with a short lesson from one of their coaches. 

But none of that compared to the moment that "Bryson DeChambeau entered the chat." DeChambeau offered to give Gardner a lesson and put it on his YouTube channel. 

"I think this is what the world wants," Gardner wrote. 

Well, I can only speak for myself but … hell yes, this is what I want! 

See, the thing with golf is that a lot of people have always seen the sport as not being "cool." Tiger Woods helped change that for millions of people. 

Having more guys like Sauce Gardner get into the game is exactly what the sport can use. DeChambeau is doing his part in making it more accessible to younger audiences by taking advantage of YouTube. 

Adding those two together just makes too much sense.
