Chamblee on Koepka's diet: 'Most reckless self-sabotage I have ever seen'

AUGUSTA, Ga. Brooks Koepka revealed on Tuesday at Augusta National that he underwent tests following The Players Championship and that he hasnt been in the gym in three weeks following an intense workout schedule and diet that left his energy sapped.Koepka explained that his energy issues were the result of a diet that limited him to 1,800 calories a day, but he added that his health has improved in recent weeks and that he doesnt expect any lingering issues.There has been speculation that Koepkas diet was for ESPN's "Body Issue" but that has not been confirmed. During Tuesdays Live From The Masters on the Golf Channel, analyst Brandel Chamblee criticized Koepkas body transformation.

For him to change his body and his body chemistry for vanity reasons for a vanity shoot is the most reckless self-sabotage that I have ever seen of an athlete in his prime, Chamblee said. I get why they asked Gary Player to do that shoot, I get why they asked Greg Norman. I get why they do that. Those guys are incredibly fit guys and want to show the world theyre fit. But to do something that takes you out of your game, to change your game completely. To see someone whose body has changed drastically, its never worked out very well. Its led to deterioration.On Tuesday, Koepka said his plan was to lose some weight and that maybe went about it a little too aggressively. The world No. 4 has improved each year hes played the Masters, finishing tied for 11th in 2017 before missing last years tournament with an injury.Youre talking about a guy who would be on top of everyones list to win at Augusta National had he not done this, Chamblee said. He should be the favorite here.

Early rounds would have the drama of players jockeying for position within the top 32 as well as the potential for a thrilling playoff for the final spots in the match play field. No match or stroke would be meaningless, and if a player needed to withdraw early on, it wouldn't have a drastic effect on the early rounds.
