Bryson DeChambeau has surprisingly withdrawn from this week’s Sony Open. He had committed to the event just a few hours before the field closed on Friday. But suddenly, this morning, he decided to withdraw from this week’s PGA Tour event in Honolulu. Despite already being in Hawaii for the recent Sentry Tournament of Champions, he has pulled out from the Sony Open.
Apart from Bryson, Brice Garnett, Garrick Higgo, and Troy Merritt have also dropped out from the Sony Open. However, Bryson giving his name at the last moment and then withdrawing seems a little perplexing.

Bryson’s press conference to promote Saudi International that was scheduled for today has also been canceled. Meanwhile, DeChambeau recently competed at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and finished T25 out of 38 players. Even though the result wasn’t the best, this was his first official PGA Tour event since Tour Championship. Hence, there might have been some rust while playing competitive golf.
