Bryson DeChambeau is one of the most talented golfers on the PGA Tour. However, he is also one of the most controversial players, and since the last few weeks, he has stopped talking and addressing the media due to stern reasons.
Meanwhile, Bryson changed the game when he won the U.S. Open last year. He overwhelmed the course with his power game and made a statement to the world that distance is an enormous advantage. And Rory McIlroy, who is probably the best driver of the golf ball, drew inspiration from Bryson’s success. And since then, Rory started to chase distance by increasing his clubhead speed.

“He was somebody I looked up to in college and the latter part of high school. He was a dude that really didn’t look that big, and he hit it forever, and I wanted to be like that. I was like, Woah if I can do that that that’d be amazing.” The thing which DeChambeau loves about Rory is that he can generate speed while staying injury-free.
Furthermore, Bryson opened up about the criticism and hate that he has been receiving. “I got made fun of all the time for being a little different, for caring about the game of golf, for trying to do something different. All the other high school coaches said this isn’t going to work your swing is not going to work,” DeChambeau said. “But you can do things differently if you really wanted to. That’s the beautiful part about the sport.”

Additionally, he said, all the trolling and hate that he gets on social media doesn’t affect him. He even said not everyone is going to like him, but he will try to be as nice as possible to everyone. Even to those who have been criticizing him, according to Bryson, they all deserve respect.
