However, his left hand which he aggravated while playing table tennis at the Saudi International, was so severe that he required surgery.
He’s expected to be out for two months, which means he won’t be able to compete in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills near Tulsa, Oklahoma, next month.

In February, DeChambeau was injured while playing ping-pong at the Saudi International. He withdrew from that event after the first round and did not compete again until the WGC-Dell Match Play in late March.
Bryson didn’t make it out of pool play in Austin, and he fought his way through the Masters, where he missed the cut before deciding to have surgery.

He attempted to play through his injury at three events, including the Masters, against medical advice. However, his was an injury that required surgical treatment.
According to the American professional golfer, persistent pain from the fracture caused him to change his grip and swing, resulting in his inability to compete at the highest level of golf. This was challenging to him both physically and mentally.
