DeChambeau also said that he’s been dealing with this issue for close to a year. He’s only played three events since Jan. 10 and has missed the cut each time.
“Through continued discomfort from the fracture, it has caused me to alter my grip and swing, resulting in my inability to compete at golf’s highest level,” DeChambeau said. “This has not been easy physically and mentally for me. For now, I will be taking the appropriate time needed to rest and recover from this procedure and look forward to competing at the highest level within the next two months.”
