BRYSON DeChambeau has given up on his Incredible Bulk diet after it turned out to be cutting the golfer’s life short.
The California native showed off his slimmed-down figure at LIV Golf Tulsa having shaved off some of the reported 40 pounds he put on during the Covid-19 pandemic.

DeChambeau, 29, bulked up to add extra power to his swing and prolong his time on Earth.
The golfer started his days with a 2,000-calorie breakfast while maintaining his goal was to “live to 130 or 140.”
Months later, he discovered his body was severely inflamed — and that his diet was actually hurting his hopes for a long and healthy life.
DeChambeau ate “anything and everything,” he told The Telegraph.
“And I just thought a lot of protein, a lot of carbs, you know. But there were a lot of refined sugars that was not good for the body.
“[The medics] did blood work, measured stuff in my gut biome and I was super inflamed.
“So they said, if you want to live a longer life, you definitely have to change your diet, because your gut’s not liking what’s going on.
“So I did.”
It took DeChambeau some time to find the right chef — one that would add more vegetables to his diet while respecting his distaste for greens.
Finally, the golf star teamed up with a culinarian who fed him dozens of vegetables even without him knowing.
“She was able to give me the vegetables and fruit that I need without making it taste bad,” he said.
“Because that was a part of — eating vegetables and not liking the taste.”
With just days before the start of the PGA Championship, the slimmer DeChambeau tied for fifth at 12 under in Tulsa alongside Brooks Koepka and Eugenio Chacarra.
And in one of the interviews at Cedar Ridge Country Club, he admitted to feeling like his quest to become a centenarian was back on.
“I feel a lot cleaner and healthier and feel like I can live to over 100 now finally,” he said.
“A year and a half ago I was like, oh, man, that thing that I talked about living to 120, I don’t know if I can get there now with the weight I put on.
“A little different now.”
