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.

Trump signs executive order to reestablish Presidential Fitness Test
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order reestablishing the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition and the Presidential Fitness Test. Trump, surrounded by Vice President JD Vance, Heath and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Education Secretary Linda McMahon, LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor, LPGA Tour legend Annika Sorenstam and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque, emphasized the need to bring back a focus on physical fitness and nutrition in sports. With the signing of the executive order, Trump planned 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." The executive order will direct the council to create "school-based programs that reward excellence in physical education and develop criteria for a Presidential Fitness Award." "It's a wonderful tradition and we're bringing it back," Trump said. DeChambeau is the chair of the council. Trump mentioned San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will also be on the council "We have an opportunity at being the 70th anniversary of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, to literally change the fabric of kids' lives," DeChambeau said. "Our first initiative is to bring back and reignite the president's fitness test and also reestablish some key guidelines on building communities." President Dwight D. Eisenhower created the President's Council on Youth Fitness in 1956, and President Lyndon B. Johnson established the Presidential Physical Fitness Award in 1966. When the program was first created, children had to run and perform situps, pullups or pushups and a sit-and-reach test. President Barack Obama retired the Presidential Fitness Test, and the council under his presidency established the Presidential Youth Fitness Program. "We need to re-instill the spirit of competition and that spirit and that commitment to nutrition and physical fitness," Kennedy said. Trump has been a major figure in the sports world since his presidential campaign for his second term kicked off. He was seen at several college football and NFL games as well as UFC events. He's also recently put pressure on the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians to revert to their former team nicknames, the Redskins and Indians respectively.

Bryson DeChambeau unimpressed by fan's comment at LIV Golf UK – 'Can't be saying that'
Bryson DeChambeau was unhappy with a member of the crowd during the final round of LIV Golf UK, as he finished a modest tied-11th in Uttoxeter behind runaway individual leader Joaquin Niemann Bryson DeChambeau was overheard moaning about a heckling spectator whilst departing the ninth hole at LIV Golf UK. DeChambeau finished the week at JCB Golf and Country Club tied for 11th on Sunday, as Joaquin Niemann claimed a fifth triumph of the season to solidify his position atop the individual rankings. JCB delivered yet another boisterous atmosphere, particularly during the weekend rounds. Whilst the golfers seemed to largely relish the atmosphere, one spectator appeared to cross the line in the view of two-time US Open winner DeChambeau. Footage that surfaced online captured DeChambeau grumbling as he left the ninth green at JCB, upset with a fan who heckled him to miss his putt, reports the Mirror US. "I love the banter up there," he told an official, before making his feelings known about one comment in particular. "But they can't be saying miss it. They can't be saying miss it, miss it, miss it." The ex- PGA Tour star's interactions with spectators weren't entirely negative in Uttoxeter after he received a warm welcome when arriving at the 14th party hole. Whilst he struggled to make a significant impact on the leaderboard, it proved a consistent week for DeChambeau, who continues to be one of LIV's leading names. A three-under-par 68 was succeeded by consecutive rounds of 69 on the second and third days, as he concluded the tournament at seven-under, 10 strokes behind a commanding Niemann. The Chilean is in fine fettle this campaign, taking home five LIV Golf League titles, and fended off a spirited Bubba Watson by three strokes to win on Sunday while shooting a stellar final round 68. Despite his grievances, DeChambeau has previously embraced the LIV atmosphere. One of the most raucous atmospheres emerged in Adelaide earlier this year, and the Crushers skipper expressed his desire to witness similar backing at additional fixtures throughout the calendar. "Certainly, this is one of the best LIV events if not the best LIV event on our schedule," he said earlier this year. "It's a joy coming back here with the fans and the people and the atmosphere. "This is what LIV Golf is about," he continued. "This is what we all thought it was going to be every single week, and it's going to get there. "We're going to work to continue to make that happen. But this is what we want every single week. So it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun playing out here." The following pair of standard LIV tournaments will witness DeChambeau's homecoming to the United States, featuring visits to Chicago and Indianapolis. This campaign will subsequently conclude at the Team Championship, with DeChambeau and Crushers aiming to reclaim the crown they secured in 2023.

Bryson DeChambeau tells all about powerful note USA Ryder Cup captain put in his locker at The Open
Bullish Bryson DeChambeau fired a blistering Ryder Cup warning as he revealed personal notes of inspiration left by skipper Keegan Bradley inside lockers at The Open. The American ace finally cracked some of The Championship code with a superb closing 64 to race into a Top 10 finish. DeChambeau was superb over the final three days as he banished the misery of an opening 78 to charge through the pack and prove he can do on the links. READ MORE: LIV Golf superstar comes out swinging over Shane Lowry storm and claims players are stuck in no win situations READ MORE: Inside the mind of Scottie Scheffler as superstars pal reveals s**t talks of Open champion in waiting The LIV star has not been able to add to his two majors this year, but the Bethpage battle against Europe offers the chance of a magical ending. DeChambeau's Portrush performance has fully punched his ticket into the home side for New York and he has warned Luke Donald's team to fear the worst. Captain Bradley has been pumping up his troops and was at it again in Northern Ireland as he team star revealed: 'I talked with him briefly and then he put something in our lockers that was pretty inspirational. 'It's a personal message. In essence, yes. For sure. It meant a lot. This year's no joke. We're tired of it. We're tired of losing. 'I hope I can bring a lot of energy and a tsunami of a crowd that's going to be rooting for Team USA.' DeChambeau was asked about the rumour President Donald Trump, a mate of his, would be at Bethpage to cheer him along, but he smiled: 'I don't know. I think he's got bigger problems on his hands right now!' DeChambeau's LIV experiences will aid as he continued: 'We have the most wins on tour right now as the Crushers. The way I've personally led my team is I've let them be their individual self, their best individual self to add to the team. That's it. Don't try to put someone in a bubble and say you need to do this, you need to do that. 'What I learned best from my college coach, Josh Gregory, was just that, let me be me, which was amazing. I've let them be them. That's the way I'll move forward in team competition.' DeChambeau's final 54 holes at Portrush were sensational, which brought a few fan jibes about a LIV event. His punch of the air as he completed the last three days in 16-under par said much about conquering the Open challenge. DeChambeau turned his week around superbly after a harrowing day one and said: 'Normally I'd be super pissed and frustrated, which I was rightfully so, because I thought I played pretty well and shot seven-over. I said to myself: I'm going to do something different this time. 'I've been working on myself and how I am and how I act and whatnot. I'm going to transition my brain to say: I'm going to give it everything I have no matter what happens. I'm going to go full force, attack . 'That's what I did for the past three days, I said, every time is go time, like you've got to come back from five, six back. That's the mentality I had. 'I said I'm going to give myself a chance. I'm not going to pout. I'm going to be free. I always told you guys I like it when it's fair conditions. I can play well. I still have to crack the code when it's raining and windy. But I feel like we're getting close to some opportunities and solutions for that. 'I was really proud of the way I turned it around and gave myself actually some hope on the third round.' DeChambeau received a rapturous reception down the 72nd hole and he beamed: 'I think I look at the game a little bit different than others. I want to win. I think we all know that. But there's more than winning. 'There's how you influence a younger population, how you showcase yourself and what you do for others, what value do you give them. The only reason we're getting paid the numbers we're getting paid is because of those individuals out there in the stands. 'Once I started realising that, I started changing my mindset so they see me more in the light that I'm trying to showcase this great game. 'I hope that I can add to the game of golf from outside. YouTube, content, entertainment. It's going to be a cool give-back sort of thing. 'That's the stuff that excites me now. Not more than tournament golf, but almost as much. I think having another identity with that saying: Hey, look, I'm not just a professional, but I'm an entertainer as well has shown people the true side of myself. 'It's a great Open venue. I think it was a solid setup. It would be a lot of fun to come back. It's a great town.' DeChambeau's persona is very different to Scheffler and he said: 'Scottie's in a league of his own right now. I played with him a lot in college and he was not that good, so he's figured out a lot of stuff since then. It's really impressive to see and something we can all learn from for sure. 'I think he's a family man. He really respects his family and he wants that to be the most important thing for him. I have full respect for that. At some point I will have a family. 'For him, I think it's more important to take care of his family, which he's done a great job and tremendous job of balancing the two, being the best golfer in the world and being a family man.'
