On Wednesday, actor and comedian Kevin Hart picked up the golf bags and became the caddie for 2-time major champion Bryson DeChambeau. The Hollywood star was seen wearing a white jumper and carrying the golfer’s bag during the Par 3 Contest at Augusta National before the Masters Tournament.
The Par 3 Contest is a single round on a nine-hole, par-27 course in the northeast corner of the club’s grounds, which is held on Wednesday, a day before the Masters Tournament kicks off.
In this event, golfers usually have their families and close ones as their caddies. Sometimes, the family members play shots on their behalf in this lighthearted affair.
DeChambeau, who is highly active on social media and continues to create content for his YouTube channel, would bring in Hart as his caddie. The $400 million net worth star would keep his day job aside and pick up the clubs of a golfer and work as a caddie on Wednesday.
It’s an amazing experience and I’m really thankful to be a part of it.

Hart, however, was not the only celebrity acting as a caddie. Ex-NFL star Jason Kelce was also seen acting as a looper. He would carry the bag of 3-time PGA Tour winner Akshay Bhatia. The 2018 Super Bowl champion is set to be part of ESPN’s Masters coverage this week.

Kevin Hart as Bryson’s caddie is the exact celebrity sideshow ESPN keeps shoving down golf’s throat to chase casual viewers who couldn’t tell a wedge from a putter.

The Masters isn’t a comedy roast, it’s the one week the sport still pretends to have class, and turning it into…
Everything is a gimmick these days in sports😔

I'm so sick of Kevin Hart
— Lieutenant Dam (@Lieutenant_Dam) April 8, 2026
Can we not? Do this sideshow garbage with Hart and Kelce at the Waste Management and leave us to enjoy The Masters without any court jesters trying desperately to steal the spotlight.

Nobody needed this, or wanted this. This is almost as bad as Jason Kelce.

Have some shame.

Bryson DeChambeau trolls Kevin Hart after actor’s shot finds the water
Kevin Hart stole the spotlight on Wednesday as he acted as the caddie for Bryson DeChambeau. This did not mean he was safe from the trolls of DeChambeau. After his tee shot found the water, the golfer trolled him on X.

As the actor lined up for his tee shot, DeChambeau reminded him that he only gets one shot at it. He would boldly reply that he does not need more than one shot and that he was “built” for this.
Unfortunately for Hart, his shot ended up in the pond. The Jumanji actor launched his shot directly in the water after all the trash-talking. In the end, the two of them would have a funny embrace as DeChambeau lifted him off the ground.
On X, the golfer would share the video of the incident and make fun of his caddie for the day.
Kevin had one shot and fumbled

This will be DeChambeau’s 10th start at the Masters. Last year, the LIV Golf star slipped up a bit in the final round and had to settle for a T5 finish. He comes into the tournament this year on the back of successive wins in Singapore and South Africa and being ranked 2nd in the LIV Golf standings.
