[Golf Topic] 'Hulk' DeChambeau "Charles Schwab Challenge Withdrawal"... 'Due to Wrist Injury'

[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ○…‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA, photo) is experiencing a prolonged absence due to injury.

Golfweek reported on the 25th (Korean time) that "DeChambeau will not participate in the PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge (total prize money $8.4 million), which opens on the 26th at Colonial Golf Club (par 70, 7,209 yards) near Fort Worth, Texas." DeChambeau underwent surgery last month to treat a microfracture in his left wrist bone. At that time, it was expected to take about two months to return to the field.

DeChambeau considered participating in the season's second major, the PGA Championship, and this tournament last week but withdrew before both events started. His most recent participation was before surgery, at the beginning of April, when he missed the cut at the Masters Tournament. DeChambeau told Golfweek, "My condition is improving, but I am not yet able to play for four consecutive days," adding, "I need more time until I am fully healed." Due to the lack of results, his world ranking has dropped to 25th place.
