American golfer Bryson DeChambeau has withdrawn from the ongoing LIV Golf Mexico City tournament, citing a wrist injury. DeChambeau, who has secured two LIV Golf victories this season, was 16 strokes behind leader Jon Rahm at the time of his withdrawal. In a statement, DeChambeau expressed his disappointment and revealed that he will undergo evaluation to determine the extent of the injury. He hopes to recover in time for the LIV Golf Virginia event.
The withdrawal comes amidst uncertainty surrounding the future of the LIV Golf League, with reports suggesting that the Saudi Public Investment Fund may end its financial support. Despite this, LIV Golf chief executive Scott O'Neil has assured that the league is funded for the current season and will work to secure its future beyond that.
DeChambeau's withdrawal has led to Mexico's Luis Carrera taking his place in the Crushers GC lineup for the final round. The LIV Golf Mexico City tournament has been marked by intense competition, with Rahm leading the pack ahead of Tyrrell Hatton and Tom McKibbin.
