When it comes to Bryson DeChambeau’s love life, things are about as clear as a foggy morning on the 18th at Augusta. First things first: no, he doesn’t have a wife. No wedding rings, no secret ceremonies, and certainly no Instagram posts hinting at vows exchanged under some palm tree or chapel ceiling. As of April 2025, the man who’s been charming golf fans on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf circuit remains officially unmarried and, by all appearances, flying solo.
Now, that doesn’t mean the rumor mill hasn’t been working overtime. Every time DeChambeau tees it up at a major, like the 2025 Masters, where he’s been vying for that elusive green jacket and sharing final pairings with none other than Rory McIlroy, the whispers about his relationship status get louder than the roars from Amen Corner. But scroll through his social media, and you’ll find nothing but golf swings, tournament highlights, and the occasional science-driven breakdown of his game. Not a single romantic hint. Not even a shadow of a significant other caught in the background of his meticulously curated posts.
Bryson DeChambeau Is Confirmed Not to Have a Wife, but Is He Dating His Rumored Girlfriend, Lilia Schneider?
The only names that keep circling around are Lilia Schneider and, before her, Hunter Nugent. Let’s rewind the tape. Back in 2022, DeChambeau had been publicly linked to Hunter Nugent, a University of Texas at San Antonio golfer. The two were definitely an item once upon a time, but that chapter officially closed in September of that year. Nugent herself confirmed it to OutKick, making it crystal clear: “Bryson and I aren’t dating anymore.” And if there was any lingering doubt, her Instagram slowly erased traces of their past, with solo posts and snapshots of family filling the grid instead.
It wasn’t long after the breakup that Lilia’s name started floating around. Schneider, another college golfer but this time out of Marian University in Indianapolis, caught fans’ attention not just for her golf swing but for her growing presence as a social media influencer.
She’s got the kind of dual profile modern athletes and influencers dream about: over 57,000 Instagram followers and more than 145,000 on TikTok. A self-proclaimed “All-American girl” from Belmont, Michigan, Lilia’s content swings comfortably between glam bikini shots and golf coaching clips, a combo that’s drawn plenty of comparisons to Paige Spiranac, the original Instagram golf queen.
Schneider and DeChambeau were first linked when they were spotted riding together in a golf cart at a LIV Golf event in Chicago in 2022. The photo that kicked off all the speculation was initially miscaptioned, claiming it was Nugent alongside him, but Hunter herself clarified to OutKick that it was Lilia at his side, not her. That cleared the confusion, but it didn’t confirm a relationship either. Neither Lilia nor Bryson made any public declarations. No hand-holding snapshots, no cozy captions, no red carpet appearances. Nothing. Just one sighting and a whole lot of fan theory.
Even as recently as the 2025 Masters, with Bryson DeChambeau locked in a tight leaderboard battle, the curiosity about his personal life stayed high. And with no partner waiting greenside after his U.S. Open triumph at Pinehurst in 2024—a major milestone most pros celebrate with their nearest and dearest—people noticed. The absence was as loud as a gallery roar.
Lilia herself has kept things vague. Her Instagram remains strictly business, unless you count business as golf swings, marketing collaborations, and the occasional poolside post. There’s not a trace of Bryson to be seen. If there ever was a romance, it seems to exist off the grid.
Interestingly, it’s not just DeChambeau’s game that’s been transformed in the past few years; his public image has too. Once the target of PGA Tour purists for his brashness (remember the whole “Augusta is a par 67 for me” comment back in 2020?), he’s undergone a total perception makeover. Jumping to LIV Golf, launching his YouTube channel, and even showing more of his analytical, nerdy side earned him a new fanbase. His second U.S. Open win in 2024 didn’t hurt either. But amid the professional glow-up, the dating speculation never died.
When he’s not busy reengineering his swing or breaking down aerodynamics on YouTube, Bryson DeChambeau seems content to leave his personal life under lock and key. And with the way fans and media latch onto even the faintest clue, who can blame him? Whether Lilia Schneider is, or was, the girlfriend is still anyone’s guess. As for a wife? Definitely not. And until he shows up to a tournament with someone wearing a “Mrs. DeChambeau” hat, that status doesn’t look set to change.
So if you’re hoping to spot a partner by his side the next time he sinks a winning putt, don’t hold your breath. Bryson might be an open book when it comes to golf, but when it comes to love, the pages stay blank.
