Bryson DeChambeau's 91 Attempts to Hit a Hole-in-One Over His House Still Entrancing Golf Fans
Bryson DeChambeau has captivated social media with his ongoing attempt to hit a hole-in-one over his Dallas home. After 13 days and 91 attempts, he remains unsuccessful but has generated over 50 million views on Instagram alone.
The challenge involves hitting from a mat in his driveway, over his two-story house, to an artificial green with a hole roughly 100 yards away. Each day, he gets an additional attempt, starting with one shot on Day 1, two on Day 2, and so on.

Despite several near-misses, including a Day 13 attempt that hit the flagstick and bounced out, DeChambeau continues to draw massive audience engagement across social platforms. Golf statistician Lou Stagner estimates the odds of success at approximately 1 in 175 per attempt, with a 93% chance of success by Day 30.
This viral stunt further establishes DeChambeau's unique position bridging traditional professional golf and social media entertainment. Unlike previous ace challenges, DeChambeau's version stands out for its daily attempt limit and his consistent mechanics that make each shot a potential winner.
Bookmakers have set odds at -150 for DeChambeau to succeed before Thanksgiving, while giving 38.5% odds (+160) that he might break a window in the process. The challenge continues to draw celebrity attention, including comedian Bert Kreischer, who commented hoping the series wouldn't end too soon.
The stunt demonstrates DeChambeau's evolving presence in golf media, complementing his professional career with engaging social content that appeals to both traditional golf fans and a broader online audience.
