According to GolfChannel.com senior writer Ryan Lavner, Ryson DeChambeau will not be competing in this week’s Players Championship.
DeChambeau hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour since missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. Following the first round, he withdrew from the Saudi International, citing ailments to his left hand and hip.

He didn’t try to defend his title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, citing a fear of aggravating his hand ailment.
DeChambeau stated he was “nearly ready” and “getting ready for something major” in a text message to Golfweek on Sunday night.
“As long as the best players in the world are playing the PGA Tour, so will I,” DeChambeau, who has long been linked to the Saudi-backed super league, said during his recent break.
At TPC Sawgrass, Hayden Buckley will take DeChambeau’s place on the course.
