World’s sexiest hockey player sparks dating rumors with golf star Bryson DeChambeau as fans spot key detail in social media post
Mikayla Demaiter has sparked dating rumors with Bryson DeChambeau after posting pictures of herself posing inside his closet.
The Canadian influencer, who has been called the ‘world’s sexiest hockey player’, was spotted at the recent LIV Golf New York at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
She shared pictures on social media at the event in a LIV lanyard, while at one stage she was seen wearing a Crushers GC hat, DeChambeau’s team.
DeChambeau and his Crushers team celebrated winning the event, despite him having a tough individual weekend, finishing tied for 38th at 7-over-par.
While Demaiter’s appearance at the LIV Golf event seemed innocuous, she sent the rumor mill into overdrive after posting two pictures online in a closet that eagle-eyed fans identified as appearing to be DeChambeau’s.
She posed sitting down while wearing a light blue tank top and a pair of striped shorts, with a rack filled with hats from DeChambeau’s various teams and numerous pairs of shoes.

On Sunday, the 26-year-old then shared a photo at a seaside golf course, further fueling speculation the pair might be dating.
Demaiter played as a goalie in Canada’s Provincial Women’s Hockey League Junior League but then retired at 19 due to injury before pursuing a career in social media and modeling. She has since amassed an Instagram following of more than three million.
DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, has also carved out a massive social media presence, including his huge YouTube channel with 2.83 million subscribers and an Instagram following of 4.6 million.
The 32-year-old golfer previously dated former University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) golfer Hunter Nugent, with their split reported in September 2022.
After his last confirmed relationship with Nugent ended, he was briefly linked with golf influencer Lilia Schneider last year.
DeChambeau was asked directly if he had a girlfriend on a podcast last year and replied: ‘Uh no. I’m keeping that open.
‘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.’
