‘Quite impressive’- Brooks Koepka comments on DeChambeau’s Long Drive debut

They asked Koepka about DeChambeau’s long distance philosophy and what impact it will have on the sport. He replied, “I think it will be a big impact. I think you kind of saw it maybe coming out of COVID. I think you saw even other guys trying to hit it further.”

“Swing a little harder, trying to maximize their distance. I think it’s going to change the game of golf forever, personally.”

Talking about the ability to implement a change in competition, he praises DeChambeau and says, “It’s impressive to be able to actually change a body, change the way you swing and but yet still compete out here… It’s one thing to do it and then just kind of mess around with it at home but not bring it to an actual tournament.”

He commends DeChambeau’s efforts at the PLDA Championship, where he reached the quarterfinals. He said, “I don’t think anybody really thought he was going to get that far, but the fact he did was quite impressive.”

Moreover, he said that the younger generation is already adapting to this new style of playing. Talking about the future trend, he admits, “You’re just going to continually see that type of distance come from the kids that are in college or high school now that will be out here in five, six years.”

Well, he’s definitely not wrong. Youngsters like Maverick McNealy, Cameron Champ and Matthew Wolff, have already adapted to this style of playing. We’ll just have to wait and see what’s in store for the future of golf.
