Canadian influencer Mikayla Demaiter has sparked dating rumors with golf star Bryson DeChambeau after posting photos online from inside his closet.
The 26-year-old former ice hockey player posted two photos online posing while seated in a light blue tank top and striped shorts. Behind her, eagle-eyed social media followers spotted a storage rack holding multiple pairs of shoes and numerous hats representing DeChambeau's various golf teams.
The pictures followed Demaiter's appearance earlier this month at LIV Golf New York, hosted at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The venue is a private 36-hole golf facility owned by the Trump Organization that regularly hosts LIV Golf League tournaments.
During the tournament, Demaiter shared photos showing her wearing a LIV VIP lanyard and was seen on site wearing a Crushers GC hat. Crushers GC is the LIV Golf franchise team captained by DeChambeau, which features four professional golfers competing in the league's team competition.
DeChambeau and his Crushers GC squad celebrated winning the team event in New Jersey despite a difficult individual performance from the captain. DeChambeau finished tied for 38th place at 7-over-par for the weekend.
On Sunday, Demaiter posted an additional photograph set at a seaside golf course, further fueling online speculation that she and DeChambeau are dating.
Athletic Careers and Social Media Success
Demaiter previously played as a goalie in Canada's Provincial Women's Hockey League Junior League, the top tier of junior female hockey in Ontario. The position requires specialized gear to defend the hockey net against incoming pucks. She retired from the sport at age 19 following an injury and transitioned into modeling and social media creation. Known to fans as the 'world's sexiest hockey player', she has built an Instagram audience exceeding three million followers.
DeChambeau, 32, is a two-time winner of the U.S. Open, one of the four major championships in men's professional golf, having captured titles in 2020 and 2024. In addition to his professional golf career on the LIV Golf circuit, DeChambeau maintains a prominent digital footprint. His popular YouTube channel commands 2.83 million subscribers, alongside 4.6 million followers on Instagram.
Past Relationships and Dating History
DeChambeau was previously in a relationship with former University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) golfer Hunter Nugent, an NCAA Division I athlete. News of their breakup was reported in September 2022. Following his split from Nugent, DeChambeau was briefly linked last year with golf influencer Lilia Schneider.
Addressing his relationship status during a podcast appearance last year, DeChambeau was asked directly if he was seeing anyone and confirmed he was single while hinting at an ongoing connection.
"Uh no. I'm keeping that open," DeChambeau said. "It's weird because I've started, I don't know how to say this, it's very dynamic, let's say that as of right now. And I'm just trying to keep it simple and this time goes on I eventually want to find the right person. I'm trying to find the right person right now, and I feel like there is somebody that I am talking to that's different and unique and you know, there's something there."
