Championship golfer Bryson DeChambeau recently joined Donald Trump on stage at Mar-a-Lago after his presidential election win, but didn’t appear to have brought his girlfriend Lilia Schneider along

Donald Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election, but his victory speech came long before his presidency was confirmed. While addressing fans at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida, the president-elect made a point of welcoming his long-time supporter, professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, onto the stage.
Wearing a black Make America Great Again hat, DeChambeau waved to the audience but appeared “shy”, according to Trump. The 78-year-old had previously joined the double US Open golfing champion on the green for the YouTube channel series Break 50, helping to raise US$250,000 for military veterans’ charity the Wounded Warrior Project.

While introducing DeChambeau, Trump joked that he “hits the ball a little longer than me” and congratulated him on his June title win. “He’s got a great career going, great US Open, Bryson, that’s a fantastic job,” said Trump.

But DeChambeau, 31, known as The Scientist for his analytical approach to the sport, was not joined at the event, it seemed, by his latest girlfriend, Lilia Schneider. The two have been romantically linked since 2022, when they were spotted together in Chicago at the LIV Golf Invitational Series. She was initially misidentified as DeChambeau’s ex-partner, golfer Hunter Nugent, who later confirmed to OutKick that it was in fact his new girlfriend, Schneider.

So, just who is Lilia Schneider?

She’s a golfer too

Lilia Schneider, thought to be 10 years younger than DeChambeau, is a college golfer. She played golf at Rockford High School, where, as captain, she led her team to the Michigan High School Athletic Association state championship. She now plays for Marian University in Indianapolis and was named an NAIA-Daktronics Scholar-Athlete last year. Schneider is also a marketing major.

She is being compared to Paige Spiranac

With 57,000 followers on Instagram she is a rising influencer, sharing fashion and golf content with her fans. The budding star has an even bigger following on TikTok: 148,000.
