Bryson DeChambeau’s golfing methods might seem like they are from another planet at times but he doesn’t believe that the footage of the 1971 Moon Landing is real.
Speaking on the Katie Miller Podcast which has links to the Trump administration, DeChambeau was asked whether he believed astronaut Alan Shepard had teed it up on the Moon during the famous Apollo 14 mission.
“Oh, I don’t, here we, conspiracy theory, I don’t know,” DeChambeau said. “Look, Elon [Musk] says we’ve definitely gone there. So I tend to go that route, because he’s the man that knows quite a bit about all that.
“Artemis just went around the Moon. So I do believe if we spent a lot of our resources like they say we did, I think we did. I don’t think the footage is real. But I think we did go to the Moon. I don’t know about the footage. It’s quite, it’s quite wild.”
DeChambeau was then asked for his take on alien life and UFOs and stated that he does believe in interdimensional beings.
“I do think that there are interdimensional beings out there, for sure,” he said. “I do believe in UAPs [unidentified anomalous phenomena, the government-standard term for what were previously known as UFOs]. UAPs, UFOs, I think they’re more than just aliens from another world. Maybe aliens from another world. But I think there’s more. There’s a lot more to that story.”
Eventually the podcast moved on to more pressing matters surrounding the landscape of men’s professional golf. The two-time US Open champion has become the face of LIV Golf which is in danger of collapsing with the PIF set to pull funding at the end of the season.
DeChambeau’s contract with the Saudi backed breakaway tour expires at the end of the season, as does Jon Rahm’s. He was haggling for a $500m deal and while that now seems impossible, LIV CEO Scott O’Neil is still planning a future with the American firmly on board.
So that leaves his playing future very much up in the air. Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed have already been offered pathways back to the PGA Tour, but DeChambeau, who has nearly three million YouTube subscribers might go down the content creation route rather than the pro scene.
I’m in that weird space right now, I don’t know what to do: either content creation or professional golf,” he told Miller. “I don’t know what to do right now.”
