Two-time major champ Bryson DeChambeau leans hard on science. Or he does. That is the brand anyway. The engineering guy with the single-driver swing doesn’t exactly chase rabbit holes for fun. Not usually. But listen. He thinks the moon landing footage might be fake. While believing in interdimensional visitors. For sure.
It all came out on a podcast. Katie Miller hosting. Wife of Stephen Miller. The setup feels odd, I know, but here we are.
She asked about Alan Shepard playing golf on the moon. 1971 Apollo 14. The big hit. The six iron and the wooden club. Did it happen?
DeChambeau hesitates. You can hear the gears grinding. He cites Elon Musk. Says Elon knows the hardware, the space side, so Bryson trusts him. Says we definitely went there. Artemis just orbited. The resources were spent. So we must have made the trip.
But the tape? The pictures?
I don’t think the footage is real.
There it is. The contradiction sits right there in the room. We went, he says. But what you watched was wild. Maybe staged. Maybe not all truth. Thousands of astronauts lying. Shepard. Armstrong. Aldrin. All of them, maybe playing along with a set. It’s a weird take for a physics guy, but it’s his.
I do think that there are interdimensionals out there, for sure.
He goes further though. UAPs. UFOs. Not just guys in ships from Proxima Centauri. Something else. Interdimensional. The story is deeper than just alien visitation. There’s a lot more to the story, he insists.
The pivot happens fast. No segue. Just a hard cut to Donald Trump. Most powerful man on earth? DeChambeau knows him. The dynamic is bizarre.
Trump gives him crap. Specifically about pickles.
It’s trivial. It’s also human. Or weird.
Meanwhile the business side crumbles. LIV Golf faces a funding cliff. The Saudi public money might dry up. DeChambeau sees it coming. He’s not blind to the ledger.
So what now? He’s stuck in that strange gap between athlete and influencer.
Content creation or pro golf?
He doesn’t know. Honestly, neither do I. He’s been missing cuts recently. Masters. PGA Championship. Two misses. The form isn’t there right now. Maybe YouTube makes sense. Maybe golf stays the job.
He sits in the unknown. Asking big questions about reality while wondering what to post next.
Which is arguably the most honest state in sports today.
