3 Years After Getting Mocked by Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau Lowers His Expectations and Backtracks on His Bold Statement

Bryson DeChambeau has been on a roller coaster of a physical journey. There was a phase in his life when he gained a lot of weight in order to become the fastest hitter. But, recently, he shook the golf world with yet another transformation, having shed quite a few pounds and looking leaner than ever!

A few years ago, he was a lot bulkier and was looking quite far into the future. But now, with his magnificent body transformation, his thoughts have also transformed, causing him to rethink one of his viral statements from three years ago!

Bryson DeChambeau shares an update about his 3-year-old statement 

When physically transformed images of the 2020 US Open winner surfaced on the internet, it shocked golf fans. The golfer had lost a lot of weight, which he had gained in the hope of becoming the fastest hitter on the Tour back then. His whole-30 diet that and regular, intense exercise had helped him shed around 20 pounds in a month.

With those drastic physical changes, the golf pro also knows that his game will see some changes. After the day ended in Tulsa, the golfer was questioned about his learning curve and how his swing has changed with his transformation. He replied, “I would say that my body definitely has changed, and my swing is probably going to change, as well. That’s part of the process I’m trying to figure out.”

Clarifying his weight loss reason, the LIV golfers claimed that he was just trying to reduce the inflammation in his body, and his transformation has really helped him with it. 

Reiterating his 3-year-old statement about wanting to live till 130 or 140, DeChambeau said, “But I feel a lot cleaner and healthier and feel like I can live to over 100 now finally. A year and a half ago I was like, oh, man, that thing that I talked about living to 120, I don’t know if I can get there now with the weight I put on. A little different now.”

Do you remember the golfer’s thoughts about living for so long? And how did his fellow golfer, Justin Thomas pull his leg for it? 

Justin Thomas makes fun of DeChambeau for his statement

In 2020, when DeChambeau spoke about living till 130 or 140, his fellow golfer, Justin Thomas, made fun of him. Expressing his interest in life and other things in general, the now-LIV golfer made some bold statements. He claimed that he was certain that in the upcoming 3 or 4 decades, somebody will make technology that will allow humans to be better and live until almost 130 or 140. And he was looking forward to that!

Following DeChambeau’s futuristic thoughts, JT took to Twitter and, tagging him hilariously, wrote, “What in the hell are you even talking about dude @b_dechambeau .” It was definitely funny to see Thomas take a fun jibe at the scientist and literally ask him about what exactly was going on in his head.
