Bryson DeChambeau publicly criticized the course conditions at LIV Golf's Mexico City event, calling the grass "destroyed" and the rough "definitely rough." His comments came as the league faces questions about its financial future, with CEO Scott O'Neil confirming Saudi Arabia's funding will end after this season.
DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open winner, struggled during the tournament, shooting even par in both his second and third rounds. His frustrations echoed previous complaints about the course's bunkers, which he previously called "the worst f---ing bunkers ever." The incident occurred amid speculation about LIV Golf's sustainability, with O'Neil acknowledging the need to secure new funding but expressing confidence in the league's business plan.
Fans and critics reacted to DeChambeau's remarks, with some praising his honesty and others accusing him of excessive complaining. The tournament proceeded despite initial uncertainty, with DeChambeau tied for 31st place after 27 holes. His performance follows a disappointing showing at The Masters, where he failed to make the cut despite being a top contender.
