[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA) has halted his ‘Saudi Arabia expedition’.

On the afternoon of the 4th (Korean time), before the 2nd round of the Asian Tour PIF Saudi International (total prize money $5 million) held at the King Abdullah Economic City Royal Greens Golf Club in Saudi Arabia (par 70, 7,048 yards), he withdrew due to injuries to his left hand and left hip. This came after he posted 3 over par on the first day, dropping to a tie for 85th place. His iron shots faltered, resulting in 3 birdies, 3 bogeys, and a critical triple bogey on the 7th hole (par 4).

DeChambeau attracted particular attention that day when the British Daily Mail reported that he had received an offer of a staggering $135 million (?162 billion) to join the 2023-launched Super Golf League (SGL), supported by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). Although he expressed via social media that "the report is incorrect," he did not clarify whether the information was false or if the amount was inaccurate.
