Over years, a few players have come to be known as icons and legends who have changed the game. Generations follow them, hoping to understand how they continue to perform at such a high level. Ever since he has started his career, Tiger Woods has been a living legend on the course, shaping up an entire generation worth of golfers. Now, in a recent interview, Kevin Kisner spoke about Bryson DeChambeau, who he believes could be to his generation what Woods was to his; an inspiration.

Since his debut, DeChambeau has wowed fans and experts with his game. The 28-year-old’s last PGA Tour win was the Arnold Palmer Invitational this March. Moreover, he also participated in the World Long Drive Championship. A highlight has been his physical transformation over the past few months, which also won him the US Open (2020).

As per Kisner, there is no doubt that DeChambeau is a revolutionary individual. He mentions how Woods has people smoking and eating cheeseburgers while on Tour.

Kisner even revealed what he thinks is the greatest thing DeChambeau is doing. “He’s hitting shots that are not fit for the golf course and finding his fall on the fairway. I think it’s amazing how straight he’s hitting the golf ball and fitting it to areas that are not designed to be played from,” said Kevin.
