Lee Westwood is one of the most prominent and experienced golfers on the PGA Tour. Moreover, the 48-year-old recently posted a video and called out Bryson DeChambeau on Twitter. Meanwhile, Westwood hasn’t competed in any of the PGA Tour events in this season so far. Most probably, he had taken a break from the game after the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. 

Notably, it is still unclear when exactly Westwood will get back on Tour. However, it looks like he still keeps his game in check with regular practice sessions. Recently, he also posted a video on Twitter where he called out DeChambeau.

Meanwhile, we all know Bryson is currently the longest hitter on the Tour. But surprisingly, he did not hit the longest drive in the 2020-21 PGA Tour. Interestingly, it was Lee Westwood with a 425 yards bomb at AT&T Byron Nelson.

However, Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently on a vacation, has not responded to the tweet yet. Moreover, few fans have started to speculate whether Westwood is joining the Long Drivers Championship. But given his age, it’s pretty tough for the Englishman to compete in the Long Drivers event.
