‘My Parents Hated It’: Multi-Sport Athlete Bryson DeChambeau Opens Up on His ‘Inquisitive’ Childhood

Bryson DeChambeau is one of the fittest players in the golf community. The ex-PGA Tour player recently shifted to the LIV Golf league and called it a business decision. However, despite his controversial decision, fans are always curious to find out more about the golfer. And he recently opened up about a phase from his childhood that most of his fans were unaware of.

Bryson DeChambeau explained how he got into golf

DeChambeau is one of the longest-hitters in professional golf today. Thanks to his decision to build muscle, his physique plays a very important role in his performance. Although he has now lost some weight and switched to a healthy diet, his passion for hitting long shots is still the same. Moreover, DeChambeau not only loves golf but also other sports that he played during his childhood.

The golf star was in conversation with Emma Carpenter in the ‘5 Clubs Conversation’ podcast. And during the conversation, DeChambeau opened up about how he was always a born athlete. “I was starting to play a few tournament tournaments in the game of golf, I love playing soccer, baseball, basketball, you name and I played every sport. And I was a bit of an athlete,” he said.

The golfer also added how he had a curious mindset and that he loved to question everything he found interesting. However, he also mentioned that this was one of his habits that his parents “hated” about him. “I was always inquisitive. I questioned everything. As you could imagine. My parents hated it. But it’s just who I was.” DeChambeau said. But in his defense, he explained that his curiosity came from being able to understand how everything around him worked.

Coming back to how he got into the sport, DeChambeau revealed that he managed to win the first two tournaments he played. And that’s when he told himself, “Okay, I’m pretty solid. I think I can play this sport.” However, the golfer also opened up about his struggles as a child when he was bullied by other kids around him, even during his tournaments. “It was super frustrating,” he said. DeChambeau also mentioned that he used to be extremely nervous because of these reasons.
