Tiger Woods was criticized for transforming his body midway through his career and bulking up significantly, but Bryson DeChambeau believes that following the same path with not only help his game, but also prevent injuries.

DeChambeau revealed in early October that he planned to look “like a different person” in time for the 2019-2020 PGA Tour season. A few weeks later, DeChambeau – who stands 6-foot-1 – had already bulked up from 195 pounds to 220, and hoped to reach a target weight of 230.

According to Golf Digest, DeChambeau is up to 225 for this week’s Hero World Challenge, and while he hasn’t played particularly well, with a score of 3-over par over his first two rounds, he’s been blasting the ball down the fairways.

DeChambeau told Golf.com that he was dealing with significant back issues last season and even considered getting surgery, until he connected with a doctor who advised him to focus on making himself stronger.
