Bryson DeChambeau has shared more details about the wrist issue that forced him to pull out of the final round at LIV Golf Mexico City suggesting it may not be anything serious.
He had withdrawn before Sunday’s round as a precaution after experiencing discomfort in his wrist opting not to risk making it worse. He later said he would take a few days to get it checked.
Thanks for the submission!
Speaking to Flushing It DeChambeau explained that the issue didn’t come from any specific shot or moment during the week.
“I didn’t even hurt myself Saturday. I just felt it get sore on Sunday. I really have no idea. I didn’t do anything. It’s one of those things that, you know, it’s probably stress, but it’ll be fine. I’m getting treated on it.”
He also sounded confident about returning soon adding that he expects to be fit for LIV Golf Virginia.
Before stepping away DeChambeau had played three rounds at Chapultepec. He opened with even par scores in the first two rounds. In the third round he made an eagle and two birdies but also dropped shots with four bogeys and a double bogey to finish 2 over.
The withdrawal came after a mixed stretch. He had won back-to-back LIV events earlier in the season, but then missed the cut at the Masters before arriving in Mexico.
The next event is LIV Golf Virginia at Trump National Golf Club from May 7 to May 10 where he is expected to return if the injury settles.
Bryson DeChambeau hints at staying with LIV Golf despite contract uncertainty
As Bryson DeChambeau looks ahead to the next event, there is also quiet attention on what happens after this season. His current deal is nearing its end but from the way he’s spoken he doesn’t sound like someone planning a move. If anything he’s leaning the other way.
Bryson DeChambeau said he wants to help “make it work,” which gives a clearer idea of where he stands.
“We’re still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I’ve put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I’m going to do, we’re going to make this work, he said.”
That comes as LIV Golf continues to face questions about what lies ahead. There has already been some movement. Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed have both gone back to the PGA Tour, which has naturally put the spotlight on others in a similar position.
Bryson DeChambeau, though doesn’t seem to be heading in that direction. Based on what he’s said the focus is still on staying and helping things move forward.
