Bryson DeChambeau publicly expressed doubts about the authenticity of the Apollo moon landing footage but affirmed that humans did land on the moon. He made these remarks during an appearance on the Katie Miller podcast recorded and released between May 18 and 19, 2026 [1, 2].

DeChambeau stated, "Oh, I don’t, here we, conspiracy theory, I don’t know. Look, Elon says we’ve definitely gone there. So I tend to go that route, because he’s the man that knows quite a bit about all that. Artemis just went around the moon. So I do believe if we spent a lot of our resources like they say we did, I think we did. I don’t think the footage is real. But I think we did go to the moon. I don’t know about the footage. It’s quite, it’s quite wild" [1].

He emphasized his trust in Elon Musk's assertion that humans have already reached the moon. "Look, Elon says we’ve definitely gone [to the moon]. So I tend to go that route, because he’s the man that knows quite a bit about all that," DeChambeau added [2].

In addition to his views on the moon landings, DeChambeau also stated his belief in interdimensional beings and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). "I do think that there are interdimensional beings out there, for sure. I do believe in UAPs [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena]. UAPs, UFOs, I think they’re more than just aliens from another world. Maybe aliens from another world. But I think there’s more. There’s a lot more to that story," he said [1].

DeChambeau, a leading player in the LIV Golf series, has faced recent struggles on the course, missing the cut at the Masters and the US PGA Championship [1]. With the future funding of LIV Golf uncertain, he is considering focusing more on creating content through his YouTube channel [1].

He also discussed other topics including conspiracy theories and his friendship with former President Donald Trump during his podcast appearance [1, 2].

The Apollo missions, including the original 1969 moon landing and Alan Shepard's 1971 golf shot on the moon during Apollo 14, remain widely accepted historic milestones, though DeChambeau maintains skepticism about the original footage [1, 2].

DeChambeau’s remarks mark a rare public questioning of the Apollo footage from a prominent athlete. The next major golf events he might compete in remain to be seen amid LIV Golf's financial uncertainties.
