American golfer Bryson DeChambeau has returned from the Covid-19 lockdown period almost unrecognisable, having put on a whopping 9kg of muscle in the last few months.
The man once known as the 'Mad Scientist' – who was a physics major before he became a professional golfer – has been rechristened by some fans as 'The Incredible Bulk' thanks to his stunning body transformation into a 110kg powerhouse, making him one of the biggest drivers (and talking points) of last week's return of the PGA Tour at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas.
Over the last year, DeChambeau has worked on adding more muscle and has put on a staggering 20kgs, which has had a big impact on his game.
The world no 13 averaged 345 yards off the tee in round one at the Colonial Country Club – the 2019 PGA Tour average was 294 yards – with his longest drive topping 367 yards.
