Golfer Bryson DeChambeau has cast doubt on NASA's moon landing footage while simultaneously expressing confidence in the existence of interdimensional beings, in an appearance this week on a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, wife of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.
The two-time major champion walked a careful line when asked whether he believed astronaut Alan Shepard played golf on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. DeChambeau said he doubts the authenticity of the footage itself, but credits NASA with actually reaching the lunar surface.
"I don't think the footage is real. But I think we did go to the moon," DeChambeau said on the podcast. He pointed to Elon Musk's assertions about lunar missions and NASA's recent Artemis program as evidence that the agency has the capability to reach the moon, but expressed skepticism about how those accomplishments were documented.
DeChambeau, who majored in physics in college, then pivoted to more speculative territory. He stated flatly that he believes interdimensional beings visit Earth and that unidentified anomalous phenomena represent something far more complex than simple extraterrestrial visitors.
"I do think that there are interdimensional beings out there, for sure," DeChambeau said. "I think they're more than just aliens from another world. Maybe aliens from another world. But I think there's a lot more to that story."
The golfer also discussed his relationship with Donald Trump during the interview, joking that the president frequently needles him about pickles. DeChambeau has been an outspoken Trump supporter and plays on the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, which faces an uncertain future after the Public Investment Fund announced plans to withdraw its funding.
That uncertainty has left DeChambeau weighing his options. He acknowledged on the podcast that he may shift focus to content creation if professional golf opportunities dry up, noting that he remains torn between the two pursuits at this moment.
The golfer has struggled on the major championship stage recently, missing the cut at both the Masters and the US PGA Championship.
Author James Rodriguez: "DeChambeau's selective skepticism is its own kind of logic, but landing a golf ball on the moon and landing credibility back on Earth are two very different shots."
