After an Instagram comment on Charley Hoffman’s scorched-earth post helped fan the rumor flames of the threat of the Saudi Arabia-backed Super Golf League to the PGA Tour, Bryson DeChambeau decided to shoot down some “false reports” about his health and future playing schedule.
The 28-year-old said on his Twitter account on Monday afternoon that he was “very disappointed” to miss this week’s Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, which also happens to be one of his “favorite golf courses on Tour.” DeChambeau is out of the field due to a hip and hand injury.
In a text message sent to Golfweek’s Steve DiMeglio Monday, DeChambeau answered “Yes” when asked if would defend his title next month at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando.
There are many false reports going around by the media that are completely inaccurate. Any news regarding my health or playing schedule will come directly from me and my team only. This is just another inaccurate report. I look forward to getting healthy and seeing everyone soon! pic.twitter.com/VCtMaMd0Of

The eight-time winner on Tour has recently denied being offered $135 million to join the Super Golf League and implored golf fans to “chill” about his recent WD from the Saudi International.
