Bubba Watson shed between and 15 and 20 pounds (he's now just over 170 pounds) over the course of the offseason by overhauling his diet,..
"Every once in a while when you get older, when you have a birthday, you kind of think, I'm a lot older than I used to be, so I need to get in shape," Bubba's said.
Bubba Watson's Diet - Once a dedicated fan of fast food, now Bubba Watson "eats clean, according to his trainer, Andrew Fisher. Bubba follows a strictly low-glycemic diet designed to help him control his blood sugar levels.
"Actually, I'm eating small meals more times," Watson said to Golfweek at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. "I threw in fish for the first time, a lot of chicken. Normally I don't like eating on the golf course, but we made these little protein balls. No chips. I haven't had a chip probably in three or four months. So it's just things like that. The stuff everybody loves? I just cut it out. So I'm basically just bitter at the world."
The weight loss may have had some effect on his game. Watson, who turns 39 in November, is averaging 4 yards fewer off the tee so far in 2016-17 compared to 2015-16 on the PGA Tour.
Bubba also revealed his super-secret diet that helped him to his second green jacket last year.
"Past year, 2014, my wife was there this time. I was like 'I'm going back to the burritos.' So I had burritos for another 10 days straight, one or two a day. I won again so I think we're going to do that again."
According to ESPN's telecast of the Masters on Thursday, Watson has lost about 15-20 pounds after cleaning up his diet. He recently spoke about how he lost so much weight.
