Bryson DeChambeau’s oversized coat at The Showdown makes him look like a sideline NFL QB

In between shots at The Showdown, Bryson DeChambeau keeps putting on an oversized coat to keep himself warm. The visual is hilarious.

Is Bryson DeChambeau playing at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas? Or is he keeping warm in January on the sidelines in Orchard Park, New York?

His oversized trench coat makes it hard to decipher.

DeChambeau, the reigning U.S. Open champion, is playing alongside Brooks Koepka in the Crypto.com Showdown, a made-for-TV event that pits these two LIV Golf stars against Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, two of the best on the PGA Tour. This match received plenty of hype and fanfare, especially since PGA Tour and LIV golfers do not often play together outside the four majors.

Yet, the competition itself has taken a back seat to DeChambeau’s coat.

See for yourself:

Keep in mind that the temperature in Las Vegas has remained in the mid-60s on Tuesday evening—not warm per se, but not overly chilly either. Either way, it’s not necessarily cold enough to don a jacket you would wear skiing.

Nevertheless, DeChambeau kept putting on his new Reebok jacket after every shot, attempting to stay warm and loose. But through four holes, it has not paid off. Scheffler and McIlroy won three of the first four holes to win the first portion of the competition. DeChambeau even missed a three-footer for eagle, which reminded everyone of what happened to McIlroy down the stretch at Pinehurst No. 2.

Even then, DeChambeau’s coat is the talk of social media, as fans and media alike have made Seinfield references or have posted pictures of NFL quarterbacks bundled up.

Here are some of the best reactions:
