Bryson DeChambeau Withdraws From LIV Mexico With Wrist Injury

The exit spotlights fresh questions about LIV Golf’s standards, operations, and funding.

Overview

  • DeChambeau, who disclosed Sunday that his wrist hurt during Saturday’s round, withdrew before the final round to avoid aggravating the injury and said he will get evaluated to target LIV Golf Virginia on May 7–10.
  • Earlier in the tournament he was caught on camera criticizing patchy rough and bare turf at Club de Golf Chapultepec, called for a ruling, was told to play the ball as it lay, then chipped close and saved par.
  • The withdrawal capped a rough stretch after a missed cut at the Masters, and he left Mexico at two over through 71-71-73, 16 shots behind leader Jon Rahm heading into the final round.
  • LIV’s Mexico stop drew extra scrutiny with reports of hours-long broadcast outages, while CEO Scott O’Neil told staff the season would proceed and said in a since-deleted TV clip the league is funded through this season as it builds future plans.
  • The league said it will return to Chapultepec next year, and DeChambeau’s timeline now points to Virginia before the PGA Championship a week later, a schedule that hinges on how his wrist responds to testing.
