Bryson DeChambeau has officially withdrawn from the LIV Golf Mexico City event, citing discomfort in his wrist as the primary reason. The two-time U.S. Open champion was set to embark on the final round but decided to step back to prevent aggravating his 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," DeChambeau stated through a social media statement. He expressed disappointment regarding his early exit, wishing his team, the Crushers, a strong finish in his absence. DeChambeau plans to take a few days off to evaluate his wrist and hopes to be ready for the upcoming LIV Golf event in Virginia.
Through three rounds at Club de Golf Chapultepec, DeChambeau was positioned at 2 over par, significantly trailing the leader, Jon Rahm, by 16 strokes. Rahm ended the tournament with an impressive score of 21 under par, securing his second win of the season, while DeChambeau's performance fell flat, especially following an outburst regarding the condition of the course earlier in the week.
His remarks about the rough surfaces went viral during the first round, capturing attention across social media platforms. DeChambeau expressed his frustrations, stating, "You got destroyed grass… oh, this is rough. Guys, this is what we’re playing on apparently!"
The next LIV Golf event is slated for May 7-10 at Trump National DC in Sterling, Virginia. This tournament marks the league's inaugural event in the United States for 2026 and will significantly contribute to players' preparations for the PGA Championship, scheduled for the following week.
Despite a successful run with two consecutive wins on LIV Golf, DeChambeau faced disappointment at the Masters, missing the cut after struggling with bunker play that resulted in two triple bogeys. As he focuses on recovering from his wrist injury, DeChambeau has a solid track record to lean on, with multiple top-five finishes in the PGA Championship, including two runner-up placements in recent years.
With the year moving forward, DeChambeau’s performance will be closely watched as he aims to regain his competitive edge. The golf community is eager to see how he will recover and perform in Virginia, particularly given his recent criticisms and the expectations that come with his previous successes.
