Overview
- DeChambeau told The Katie Miller Podcast on Tuesday that he believes humans went to the moon but does not trust the famous moon‑landing footage and called the visuals “quite wild.”
- He said he relies on Elon Musk’s public statements to affirm that lunar landings occurred and also expressed belief in UAPs and 'interdimensional beings' during the same interview.
- The clip spread quickly across social platforms and news outlets, generating immediate backlash from fans and commentators and prompting widespread media coverage.
- Reporters noted the timing of the remarks during a poor competitive stretch for DeChambeau, who missed cuts at recent majors, and linked them to uncertainty about LIV Golf’s funding and his stated interest in shifting toward content creation.
- Coverage stressed that independent scientific evidence supports the Apollo landings — including lunar reconnaissance images, retroreflector laser ranging and analyzed lunar samples — and no correction or retraction from DeChambeau has been reported.
