Bryson DeChambeau revealed how a Marvel actor motivated him

DeChambeau has worked very hard to reach the pedestal he is on today. The golf “hulk” has thousands of fans who even follow his workout routines and diet plans. However, the golfer also went through a time when he wanted to give up on his golfing career. “I just felt like, ‘I don’t need any of this. Why? Why put myself through all this torture?’” he said.

DeChambeau is not a conventional golfer who learns just from experience. The golf ace has built his playing style around science and attained the ability to hit the longest shots of all. But when he was going through a confusing time in his career, Guardians of the Galaxy star, Chris Pratt was the one who convinced him to stay strong.

“Chris Pratt told me, ‘Look, when I’m doing a movie and people are saying the movie’s terrible and I’m not a good actor, that doesn’t define me,’ ” said DeChambeau. Pratt continued to tell the golfer that people are going to relate him with the game, but it will not define the person he is. And that DeChambeau should play and use it as an opportunity to show his true personality to the world.

What was the reason for DeChambeau’s loss of motivation?

The initial factor that led DeChambeau down the lane was his feud with Brooks Koepka. The consistent trolling he received after his banter with the player got to his nerves. People even started calling him “Brooksie” while he played tournaments. Later, it was taken care of by Jay Monahan when he claimed that anyone who called him Brooksie would be removed from the field.

But that was not all for the golfer. DeChambeau tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw from participating in the Olympics. He also got criticized after he said negative things about his own sponsors and the equipment he was using. It was a lot to handle for the golfer, but the encouragement he received from Chris Pratt seemed to cheer him up.

He recently joined the LIV Golf tour and made it clear that he is okay with the criticism. DeChambeau is currently focused on making a lot of money and playing a new format of golf in Greg Norman’s league.
