Mikayla Demaiter, a Canadian influencer known as the 'world's sexiest hockey player,' has ignited dating rumors with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau. Speculation intensified after Demaiter posted images on social media that appeared to be taken inside DeChambeau's closet.
Demaiter was recently seen attending the LIV Golf New York event at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, where she was photographed wearing a LIV lanyard and a hat associated with DeChambeau's team, Crushers GC. The Crushers team went on to win the event, although DeChambeau finished tied for 38th individually.
The most significant fuel for the rumors came from two photos Demaiter shared, showing her posing in a closet filled with numerous hats from DeChambeau's various teams and multiple pairs of shoes. Eagle-eyed fans quickly identified the setting as potentially belonging to DeChambeau.
Further fueling speculation, Demaiter later posted a photo from a seaside golf course. Demaiter, who retired from playing goalie in Canada's Provincial Women's Hockey League Junior League at age 19 due to injury, has since built a significant social media presence with over three million Instagram followers.
DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, also maintains a large following across social media platforms, including 2.83 million YouTube subscribers and 4.6 million Instagram followers. He previously dated golfer Hunter Nugent, with their split reported in September 2022. Last year, he was briefly linked to golf influencer Lilia Schneider. In a podcast interview last year, DeChambeau stated he was not in a relationship but was 'talking to' someone he described as 'different and unique.'
