Keegan Bradley began his mission of losing some of the weight at the BMW Championship last year. He weighed 190 pounds when he turned pro in 2008. However, 14 years later, he surpassed the 200-pound mark as he weighed 220 pounds.

Aiming to bring a drastic change in his unhealthy lifestyle, Bradley decided to consult his neighbor in Florida, Joshua Levitt, who is a founder of the nutritional company, UpWellness. The 2011 PGA Championship winner decided to change his diet for his betterment.

He shared the details of his diet ahead of the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Bradley said, “So, I’d have eggs in the morning, maybe chicken or ground beef for lunch and then steak at night. All grass-fed meat is the key. No vegetables. And no condiments, no sides, no starches, not even ketchup. All I did was salt, pepper … and some hot sauce”.

The golfer also detailed to enhance his cardio while avoiding the consumption of sodas and even Gatorade. Keegan Bradley’s cardio consisted of a stationary bike, elliptical training, and only light weightlifting. The journey of weight loss was difficult for the golfer, but he overcame them.

Bradley also has close ties with six-time NBA Champion Michael Jordan, thanks to his deal with Nike. Though Jordan has publicly poked at the golfer several times in the past, he surely will be proud to hear the weight loss story of his good friend. After all, both have played golf together a few times.
