On Sunday afternoon Bryson DeChambeau announced his withdrawal from the LIV Golf Mexico City event after suffering an injury.
“I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday’s round and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury,” he said. “Not how I wanted this week to go, but wishing the Crushers a strong finish. I’m going to take a few days to get evaluated and hope to be ready for LIV Golf Virginia.”
Despite his injury, DeChambeau still found a way to dominate the headlines when a report regarding his future with the LIV Golf tour emerged on Monday morning.
The Athletic reported DeChambeau and his team spent part of Masters week (where he missed the cut after a triple bogey on No. 18) meeting with organizations to discuss options if he opted to leave LIV Golf.
“Speculation persists that, in the wake of others leaving LIV for the PGA Tour earlier this year, his ask to resign is up to $500 million,” Brody Miller of The Athletic reported. “DeChambeau has even used his YouTube success as a leverage play with all potential suitors, indicating he’s open to only filming content and playing the four major championships.”
DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are the biggest names in LIV Golf and have won the past four LIV Golf events between the two of them.
Miller suggested there is optimism from those within LIV Golf that DeChambeau will re-sign, but they might not be able to afford the two-time major champion.
