Overview
- DeChambeau pulled out Sunday before the final round, citing wrist discomfort, and said he will get evaluated with hopes to play LIV Golf Virginia on May 7-10.
- He drew a rules official earlier in the event after his ball settled in patchy rough at Club de Golf Chapultepec, complained about the “destroyed” turf, and was told to play it as it lay in clips that spread online.
- The Crushers GC captain stood at two over after rounds of 71-71-73 and trailed 54-hole leader Jon Rahm by 16 shots when he withdrew.
- The tournament unfolded after reports of an executive meeting in New York and stories that funding could be at risk, as CEO Scott O’Neil emailed staff the season would continue “exactly as planned” and a TNT clip showed him saying the league is funded through the season.
- LIV said it will return to Chapultepec next year, even as attention shifts to its U.S. stop in Virginia and to whether questions over long-term financing ease in the weeks ahead.
