Who Is Mikayla Demaiter? Meet Bryson DeChambeau’s New Girlfriend As Duo Spotted Together at LIV Golf Finale After Dating Rumors

Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter gave fans the first clear public glimpse of their new relationship at the LIV Golf Indianapolis finale, weeks after speculation surrounding the two began circulating.

The two were seen together after the final round at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana, on Sunday, Aug. 23, with Demaiter holding DeChambeau’s arm as they walked off the course.

DeChambeau also stopped to sign autographs before the pair left the course together.

Their appearance came after Us Weekly had already confirmed on August 19 that the golfer and Canadian model were dating.

The Indianapolis appearance was not the first confirmation of their romance, but it was their most visible public appearance together so far.

Who is Mikayla Demaiter?

Demaiter, 26, is a Canadian model, social-media personality and former ice hockey goaltender.

She played for the Bluewater Hawks in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League before a knee injury forced her to retire from hockey at 19.

She subsequently built a large online following through modeling, lifestyle content and posts that continue to reference her hockey background.

She has become particularly well known on social media, where her audience numbers in the millions.

Her profile has also earned her the widely circulated nickname “the world’s sexiest hockey player,” although that label is a media-driven description rather than an official hockey title.

Demaiter has continued to show an affinity for the sport even after her playing career ended.

In a May Instagram post, she wrote, “Everyone asks me why i chose to be a goalie, and the answer is simple- there’s nothing i love more than being number one.”

How did the dating rumors start?

The relationship speculation intensified earlier in August when Demaiter was spotted at LIV Golf New York wearing a LIV guest pass, while a Crushers GC hat- the team captained by DeChambeau was also visible.

Those clues preceded Us Weekly’s August 19 report confirming the relationship.

An insider told the publication the couple was “pretty private” about relationships but said their romance was relatively new and that they were “very happy” together.

Neither DeChambeau nor Demaiter has publicly given a detailed account of how their relationship began.

Their LIV Golf Appearance

LIV Golf Indianapolis, held Aug. 20-23, was the league’s final event of the 2026 season after the previously scheduled Michigan team championship was canceled.

DeChambeau finished tied for third at 16-under par, two shots behind winner Michael La Sasso.

Jon Rahm finished second and secured his third consecutive LIV Golf individual season title.

The timing also puts the couple’s public appearance against a backdrop of uncertainty around LIV Golf’s future.

DeChambeau has been linked to speculation about the league’s next phase, although that issue is separate from his relationship with Demaiter.
