Bryson DeChambeau Questions 1969 Moon Landing Footage, Citing Elon Musk While Saying Apollo Reached Moon
7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 21
Bryson DeChambeau said on "The Katie Miller Podcast" that he does not believe the 1969 moon-landing footage is real, even as he said humans did reach the moon.
Elon Musk was central to his reasoning: DeChambeau said he trusts Musk's view that Apollo definitely went, but called the televised images of Neil Armstrong and other astronauts on the lunar surface "quite wild."
The remarks came during a wide-ranging interview that also covered DeChambeau's Hall of Fame ambitions, dating, the mental side of golf and his experiences playing with President Donald Trump.
The comments stand out because DeChambeau has built a reputation in golf around data, science and technology, making his embrace of a moon-landing-footage conspiracy especially notable.
He trusts data to win at golf, so why does Bryson DeChambeau question the data behind the 1969 moon landing?
Is DeChambeau’s skepticism a genuine belief or a calculated play for his massive online audience?
With LIV Golf's future in doubt, is DeChambeau's next career drive on the fairway or for his YouTube channel?
