LIV Golf Announces $22 Million Golfer Abruptly Withdraws at Virginia
LIV Golf Announces $22 Million Golfer Abruptly Withdraws at Virginia originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LIV Golf has shaken up the traditional golf scene by introducing a unique team-based format alongside its competition. Unlike the PGA Tour, where players compete solely for individual glory, LIV Golf crowns both an individual champion each week and a winning team. Each four-player squad works together to rack up points, with every stroke affecting the team leaderboard as much as the individual standings. Advertisement One of LIV Golf's youngest and most electrifying talents, Matthew Wolff, was set to tee off for Range Goats GC at LIV Golf Virginia, but his tournament ended abruptly on Wednesday. Shortly after his tee shot at the par-4 eighth, Wolff grimaced, pulled up, and withdrew with an apparent muscle strain. Miami, Florida, USA; Matthew Wolff of the RangeGoats thanks the crowd after a birdie putt on the seventh green during the final round of LIV Golf Miami golf tournament at Trump National Matay-Imagn Images His departure came as a shock, Wolff, a $22 million career earner already turning heads. Most of his earnings are from LIV Golf, yet PGA too has a contribution in it. "Matthew Wolff WD (injury) after his 8th Ollie Schniederjans joins field, will play remainder of Rd. 1 in place of Wolff," LIV Golf wrote on X. Advertisement Fellow Range Goats member Ollie Schniederjans—who had been on standby—stepped in to finish the round. While Ollie's score over the final ten holes counts toward the Range Goats' team total, it won't affect his individual ranking this week. Wolff's résumé is impressive: he drained the winning putt to capture the 2018 NCAA Division I Championship for Oklahoma State, aced a hole-in-one at LIV Golf Boston in 2022, and won the 3M Open in just his third PGA Tour start in 2019. He also notched two top-5 finishes in his first major appearances and led the U.S. Open after 54 holes in 2020—the youngest ever to do so. Although his individual campaign at LIV Golf Virginia was cut short, Wolff's presence still looms large. As his teammates rally to keep Range Goats in contention, fans everywhere will be watching to see when the young phenom bolts back into action—ideally pain-free and firing on all cylinders.

Bryson DeChambeau's Behavior in Latest Post Has Fans Talking
Bryson DeChambeau's Behavior in Latest Post Has Fans Talking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Thursday, the golf world is still abuzz after a press conference held by Bryson DeChambeau on Wednesday at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. Advertisement In June 2022, DeChambeau joined the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League on a record-breaking deal, ending his PGA Tour membership. In advance of the LIV Golf Virginia tournament, running Friday to Sunday, DeChambeau offered a detailed rundown of his recent "side quests," his influencer role and his approach to preparing for upcoming majors. He spoke about everything from flying helicopters and collecting salts at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats to hitting golf balls on the White House lawn. While those comments were covered extensively by the media, fans online were quick to react. "Man is insufferable," replied one fan. Advertisement "Circus clown with his head up his own [expletive]," another user said. "Loves the sound of his own voice 🤦♂️," one other commenter replied. "What a god damn nerd," another fan said. "Can't stand him holy hell," said another user. "This is why people can't stand golf media," one other post read. Bryson DeChambeau at the PGA Dedmon-Imagn Images After turning pro in 2016, DeChambeau quickly made his mark by tying for fourth at the RBC Heritage in his professional debut. He earned his first PGA Tour victory at the 2017 John Deere Classic, won the Memorial Tournament in 2018 and in 2020, won both the Rocket Mortgage Classic and, more importantly, his first major championship: the U.S. Open. Advertisement In doing so, he joined Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the third player to win the NCAA title, the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open. He won the U.S. Open title again in 2024, capturing his second major championship. DeChambeau is now set to defend that U.S. Open title at Oakmont Country Club next week.

Bryson DeChambeau preps for U.S. Open with LIV D.C. event, practice on White House lawn
GAINESVILLE, Va. — As much as Bryson DeChambeau loves to practice and compete, the U.S. Open champion also appreciates the limited LIV Golf schedule that gives him time to pursue other interests. DeChambeau arrived at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club for LIV Golf Virginia after a characteristically busy few days that included a round of golf with President Donald Trump and some short-game practice on the South Lawn of the White House. Advertisement Now the big-hitting YouTube star turns his attention to the 54-hole LIV event that starts Friday at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. He said the thick rough and fast greens at RTJ would help prepare him for Oakmont, where he will try next week to win his third U.S. Open after triumphs last year at Pinehurst No. 2 and in 2020 at Winged Foot. 'I think LIV afforded me the opportunity to spend more time thinking, strategizing, getting my body healthy, ready for majors in a pretty unique way,' DeChambeau said Wednesday. 'For me, it was a great thing. I thought there was an opportunity to do other things in life, and look, do I want to win every single tournament I show up to? 100%.' The RTJ event is the eighth of 14 tournaments this year for the globetrotting, Saudi-funded LIV Golf League. Although PGA Tour players have more freedom to set their own schedules, they typically play more often. For top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, the U.S. Open will be the fourth of five events in a seven-week stretch. DeChambeau hasn't competed since last month's PGA Championship, won by Scheffler . While DeChambeau was enjoying a friendly round with Trump and posting a YouTube short in which he hit golf balls from the top of a mountain and the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, Scheffler was finishing off his third win of the past month at the Memorial. Advertisement 'I've been doing some fun side quests, yes, there's no doubt,' DeChambeau said. When he does compete, nobody practices harder than DeChambeau. He hit 1,029 range balls — more than anyone else in the field — at the Masters, where he finished in a tie for fifth . The 31-year-old DeChambeau said he developed his practice habits as a teenager, when other junior golfers in California were beating him even though they didn't appear to try as hard. 'It stemmed from me not being as good as others and then realizing I can only be as good as how hard I work,' DeChambeau said. 'So I just became obsessed with hitting crazy amounts of golf balls.' Advertisement Known for trying to optimize his swing and his equipment to produce a consistent ball flight — a long, high draw — DeChambeau also spends time practicing the unusual shots he needs to finish off tournaments. 'As much as I am a robot, and try to swing it as straight as possible and just stable as possible, I still do have to hit cuts and draws and hit weird shots every once in a while,' he said. 'Giving myself those opportunities in the bunker, in the bush, whatever, has only aided in my golf career.'
