Bryson DeChambeau named chair of President's Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition
In addition to two-time U.S. Open winner, Bryson DeChambeau has a new title: chair of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition. DeChambeau was at the White House Wednesday, standing alongside WWE wrestler Triple H, NFL great Lawrence Taylor and other athletes to help relaunch the Presidential Fitness Test as President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. DeChambeau said he has a new mission beyond trying to break 50 on his YouTube channel. "We believe we can change the fabric of our communities and kids' livelihoods for the future generations that are to come,' DeChambeau said during the announcement. 'I can't thank you enough and looking forward to making massive changes in kids' lives and America's future." 🚨🏋🏻♂️🗣️ #NEW: Bryson DeChambeau has joined the Presidential Council on Sports, Physical Activity, and Nutrition. Speaking from The White House, DeChambeau says they have the opportunity to change kids lives. @BrysonLegion DeChambeau also did an interview on Fox News Channel's Special Report with Bret Baier. Asked why he was taking on this role, he said, 'Well, I think, look, I grew up in an era in my public education side of the coin where we had a fitness test. In reading up about it, since 1956, President Eisenhower established this and it has changed in form numerous times. And, you know, for me, all I want to do is inspire the next generation of young individuals that have passion around sport, health, nutrition, and fitness. And from my standpoint, re-establishing the President's Sports Council as well as the fitness test is a huge initiative for America and its health and fitness all across the board. 'So, we couldn't be more excited. I've got a great team behind me. We're establishing more council members as time is going on. And we're going to be excited to showcase what we have for the American public here soon.' DeChambeau famously re-made his body, consuming more than 6,000 calories per day and gaining around 40 pounds in an effort to chase speed and become the longest driver on the PGA Tour. He earned the nickname 'the Incredible Bulk.' He has since revealed that he regretted that decision due to some negative health impacts and has lost much of the weight. "I want to get kids excited about pushing themselves," DeChambeau said. The full interview with Bret Baier can be viewed here.

President Trump, flanked by sports stars, signs executive order to bring back Presidential Fitness Test
Flanked by LIV Golfer Bryson DeChambeau, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, controversial New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor and WWE executive Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday establishing the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test. Advertisement The fitness test was originally established in the 1960s but ended during the administration of President Barack Obama. According to the White House, the goal of this order is to address 'the widespread epidemic of declining health and physical fitness with a time-tested approach celebrating the exceptionalism of America's sports and fitness traditions.' Thursday's executive order was the latest example of Trump's focus on sports during his second term. Earlier this month, he signed an executive order intended to bring order and stability to college sports. He also called for the NFL's Washington Commanders and MLB's Cleveland Guardians to revert to their previous team nicknames, even threatening Washington's stadium deal if the Commanders did not comply. He also made an appearance at the Club World Cup and earlier this year signed an executive order establishing a White House task force for the 2026 World Cup. He plans to chair the task force himself. Furthermore, Trump announced plans to hold a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House during the United States' 250th birthday celebration in 2026.

Donald Trump awkwardly butchers Tua Tagovailoa's name in excruciating White House gaffe
Donald Trump found himself tongue-tied as he attempted to pronounce Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa 's last name. The president, 79, hosted multiple professional athletes, including two-time major winning golfer Bryson DeChambeau, at the White House Thursday for an executive order signing that will reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test. While Trump has had no issue mastering the golfer's name while enthusing over his game in the past, he hit a stumbling block while trying to offer the same praise to Tagovailoa. The Commander-in-Chief sounded out the last name of the signal caller, who is of Samoan descent, before butchering the pronunciation anyway. More to follow.
