Going back in time, fitness in golf was a thing not known about by many. However, it was the rise of Tiger Woods that prompted the importance of fitness in the sport of golf. Walking on the same path as the 15-time major champion is Bryson DeChambeau. Recalling the debut years of DeChambeau was known as a lean player. However, developing himself over the years, he today stands as one of the most muscular pros in the sport.

His transformation journey kicked off in the off-season of 2019. As per reports, the former US Open gained a whopping 30 pounds of muscle during that phase. Something, that developed even further during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Two years into bulking on his body, it was in 2021 that he opened up about how fitness has affected his game.

During the conversation, DeChambeau opened up about how can a compromise in fitness affect his scientifically played golf. “One of the most interesting things to me is that I always break my golf swing down to a science, where every little motion is just as important as the next,” he said.

“If you aren’t taking care of the internal rotation of your forearm, then you could be deviating face angles quite a bit,” he added.

Bulking on his body, DeChambeau today enjoys the pleasure of being one of the longest drivers in the game. Hitting 402 yards, DeChambeau won the Longest Drive at a match in November last year i.e. 2021. An achievement, that rightly justifies the importance of fitness in golf.
