Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major champion known for his scientific approach to golf, has stirred controversy by questioning the authenticity of moon landing footage while simultaneously expressing firm belief in interdimensional beings. Speaking on a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, wife of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, DeChambeau delved into conspiracy theories, his friendship with Donald Trump, and the uncertain future of his golf career.
Moon Landing Doubts
When asked whether astronaut Alan Shepard actually played golf on the moon during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission, DeChambeau expressed skepticism. “Oh, I don’t, here we, conspiracy theory, I don’t know,” he 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’s comments suggest that while he believes humans reached the lunar surface, the visual evidence may have been fabricated. This implies that thousands of people involved in NASA’s Apollo program, including astronauts Shepard, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin, may not have been entirely truthful.
Belief in Interdimensional Beings
Despite his background as a physics major, DeChambeau expressed strong conviction in the existence of interdimensional beings. “I do think that there are interdimensional beings out there, for sure,” he stated. “I do believe in UAPs [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena]. 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.”
Relationship with Donald Trump
DeChambeau also discussed his friendship with former President Donald Trump, revealing a lighthearted dynamic. “He gives me a lot of crap about pickles, actually,” DeChambeau said, noting that they share jokes about pickles.
Uncertain Future in Golf
DeChambeau is one of the most prominent players on LIV Golf, a circuit facing an uncertain future after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced plans to withdraw funding. The American golfer has indicated he may shift focus to his YouTube career if LIV collapses. “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.”
DeChambeau has missed the cut at the last two majors he entered: the Masters and the US PGA Championship, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his professional trajectory.
