LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau gets appointed Chairman of the Presidential Council on Sports, Physical Activity, and Nutrition

Bryson DeChambeau has been appointed Chairman of the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition by President Donald Trump. The announcement was made during an official event at the White House on Thursday, where Trump signed an executive order to expand the council’s role, including bringing back the once-famous Presidential Fitness Test in schools.

Speaking from the White House, DeChambeau expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and laid out the Council’s first major initiative.

"We have an opportunity at being the 70th anniversary of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition to literally change the fabric of kids lives and our first initiative is to bring back and reignite the President's fitness test," said DeChambeau.

He also pointed out plans to support community health programs and college-level sports initiatives in alignment with the administration’s broader goals.

Bryson DeChambeau was joined by several prominent figures at the event, including Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, former NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor, WWE legend Triple H, and golf great Annika Sorenstam. The renewed focus on sports and health comes as the U.S. gears up to host a series of global sporting events, including the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup (co-hosted by Canada, the USA, and Mexico), and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
