Bryson DeChambeau missed out on an opportunity to compete for a gold medal and represent his country at the 2020 Tokyo Games because he tested positive for COVID-19.
Even with that context, the American said he didn't regret his decision to remain unvaccinated.
"The vaccine doesn't necessarily prevent it from happening," DeChambeau told reporters Wednesday. "I'm young enough, I'd rather give it [the vaccine] to people who need it. I don't need it. I'm a healthy, young individual that will continue to work on my health."
DeChambeau continued, saying, "I don't think taking the vaccine away from someone who needs it is a good thing.
