A 415-yard drive? 500 protein shakes? Bryson DeChambeau shares his 2021 over/unders

Bryson DeChambeau is a man of numbers. Many of them. Ballspeed, swing speed, driving distance, strokes gained, shaft length, degrees of loft. He hasn’t just been bestowed with the title of “Mad Scientist,” he’s earned it.

But now it’s time to put that ability to a different kind of test. A test fit for the modern athlete, in a modern sports world. A test of his capacities not only as a superstar golfer and major champion, but of his capacities as — you guessed it — a sports gambler.

At a recent cover shoot for GOLF Magazine, Bryson broke down his list of personal over/unders for the 2021 season, and the answers might surprise you.

Bryson DeChambeau 2021 Over/Unders

Pounds gained this year: 8.5

“Gained this year? That’s actually a good number you set it at. I’ve already lost weight, so it might be tough to get more. I’m going to take the under on that.”

Protein shakes consumed: 500

“Oh man, it’ll be over that, for sure. It’ll be over that. It’ll be probably about three a day.”

Average ballspeed this year: 190 mph

“Over.”

Twitch streams: 7.5

“Over.”

Drivers broken in competition: .5

“I hope over.”

Non-tournament 18-hole rounds played: 3.5

“Ha, under. For sure, under on that.”
