UPDATE: BRYSON DECHAMBEAU DENIES NO LAYING UP RUMOUR THAT HE'S NO LONGER GOING TO PLAY ANY MORE PGA TOUR EVENTS
DeChambeau had one word after reports emerged that he was offered $135million to be the poster boy for Greg Norman's concept: "Wrong".
The 28-year-old is currently taking some time off to get back to fitness after he injured his wrist and hip, forcing tournament withdrawals.
DeChambeau looked in visible agony at the Farmers. That was a week after he chose not to play the Sony Open.

He did attempt to play in Jeddah at the Saudi International, but withdrew after one round having shot 4-over par.

Whether or not that is true only DeChambeau knows. He's shied away from commenting publicly about any alleged offers from the Saudis.
Although he did "wholeheartedly agree" with Charley Hoffman who launched an incredible attack on the PGA Tour.
