The move comes after a challenging run for DeChambeau, who entered the week on the LIV circuit with recent wins but followed a Masters showing where he did not advance past the opening round. His Mexico City withdrawal adds to the ongoing questions about his endurance on tour this season.
In Mexico City, DeChambeau posted rounds of 71, 71 and 73, finishing two over par and 16 shots behind the leader, Jon Rahm, before pulling out ahead of the final round due to the wrist issue.
DeChambeau’s LIV contract remains substantial, a 4.5-year deal worth more than $125 million that expires later this year. He had indicated in early 2026 that he hoped to continue with LIV beyond the current term, though plans for 2027 remain unclear.
Reaction on social media reflected ongoing speculation about his future, with fans discussing whether he might return to the PGA Tour or continue with LIV.
LIV Golf Virginia is scheduled for May 7-10, and DeChambeau’s status will depend on the wrist evaluation and his recovery timeline ahead of the next event. Further updates are expected in the coming days.
