DeChambeau and Demaiter, 26, were spotted exiting Marine One at the Ellipse near the White House on 20/9 evening. Another photograph showed DeChambeau seated beside golf legend Gary Player, 90, on the helicopter as it landed near the White House.
President Trump also departed Marine One, but alone, before quickly entering a waiting vehicle.
The group returned to the White House from Camp David, the US leader's retreat located in Catoctin Mountain Park, Maryland, approximately 110 km from Washington D.C.

The relationship between Trump, Gary Player, and DeChambeau is not new. The former US President has hosted both golfers at his clubs worldwide on many occasions.
This marks the first public appearance of DeChambeau and Mikayla hand-in-hand. Rumors about their relationship began in August when Mikayla was seen at Donald Trump's golf club with a LIV guest pass and a hat from the American golfer's team.
DeChambeau, 33, a PGA Tour player, has won two major championships: the US Open in 2020 and 2024. As an amateur, DeChambeau was the fifth person in history to win both the NCAA Division I Championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same year. With his US Open victory, he became the third golfer to complete this trio of titles, following Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Known as "The Scientist" for his analytical approach to golf, DeChambeau uses custom-designed clubs and was identified as the longest driver on the PGA Tour in 2020.
DeChambeau's future at LIV Golf is attracting attention as the Saudi-backed league faces instability after losing its funding source. Despite being expected to remain with the new LIV Golf, DeChambeau raised questions among fans when he posted a series of photos of his wins over the past four years with the caption, "It's been a memorable journey."

LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey on 8/9, following an announcement in April by its Saudi sponsors to withdraw funds. Bankruptcy filings reveal that golfers are still awaiting over 40 million USD in unpaid funds. Jon Rahm tops the list with 7.5 million USD, followed by DeChambeau with 5.8 million USD, with significant debts also owed to Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Adrian Meronk, and Tyrrell Hatton.
Despite the instability, DeChambeau remains a prominent figure in LIV Golf, with two US Open victories and a large social media following. His YouTube channel has approximately 2.83 million subscribers, while his Instagram boasts about 4.6 million followers. The prospect of golfers being granted equity ownership in the new organization was once hoped to usher in a new phase for LIV Golf.
Meanwhile, Mikayla was a goalie for the Bluewater Hawks club in the Ontario Women’s Hockey League system. She was highly regarded for her quick reflexes and assertive playing style. However, at just 19 years old, Mikayla sustained a severe knee injury, forcing her to retire from the ice.

After retiring, Mikayla transitioned to freelance modeling and built her image through social media. She currently has over 3 million Instagram followers, a rare number among hockey athletes. From a promising young Canadian goalie, she has become an internationally sought-after media personality, known by the familiar nickname "The World's Sexiest Hockey Star."
