Time to put on your tinfoil hats again, everyone! It’s conspiracy theory time!
On the latest episode of the Katie Miller Podcast, two-time major champion Bryson DeChambeau said he doesn’t believe the original moon landing footage is real.
“Artemis just went around the moon, so I believe that if they spent as many resources as they say, they went (to the moon),” DeChambeau said. “I don’t think the footage is real. But I think we went to the moon. I don’t know about the footage.”
DeChambeau was initially asked whether he believed astronaut Alan Shepard really played golf on the moon. DeChambeau then began to question the authenticity of the Apollo 11 moon landing footage.
What footage of the moon landing is Bryson DeChambeau talking about?
DeChambeau was (seemingly) referring to the Apollo 11 spaceflight, the American mission that saw humans walk on the moon for the first time.
Conspiracy theorists have long argued that the footage doesn’t add up, often citing the absence of stars in the background, shadows and inconsistencies in the terrain as reasons to doubt the footage’s authenticity.
Bryson DeChambeau History and Controversy
DeChambeau is no stranger to controversy. The podcast, in which he questioned the moon landing, also asked about divisive topics such as the role of men and women and his relationship with President Donald Trump. He answered those questions without hesitation.
From calling Augusta National a “par 67,” to feuding with future LIV teammate Brooks Koepka to seeking forgiveness for his involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia when he moved to LIV Golf, DeChambeau has been on the receiving end of plenty. This is almost certainly not the last time.
What else did Bryson DeChambeau say on the podcast?
While some of the topics on the podcast were controversial, DeChambeau was also asked about his future in golf and whether he will focus more on golf and content creation going forward.
DeChambeau, whose YouTube channel has about 3 million subscribers, admitted that he currently makes about the same amount of money from both golf and YouTube.
“When you get to that level and create content, they’re very similar,” he said.
He also admitted that he believed LIV golf may be coming to an end, and questioned his own future in the sport as uncertainty loomed over whether he would return to the PGA Tour.
