Injuries are holding Bryson DeChambeau back
Bryson DeChambeau has been struggling with injury since the Farmers Insurance Open. He also hasn’t competed on the tour since January 2022. He had given his name in the field for the Players Championship, but just after the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the PGA Tour Communications announced his withdrawal from the event.
Players Championship is one of the most prominent events on the PGA Tour, and this year the tour has increased the purse of the event to $20 million. The highest purse for any event on the PGA Tour.
