The 28-year-old said: “I have a lot of work to do to get everything back into order for this week and I just feel like it’s too shorter time for me to get back to 100 per cent and playing at 100 per cent capacity”

Bryson DeChambeau said it was a hard decision to make but he is not 100 per cent ready to play
Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
DeChambeau has not played since withdrawing from the Saudi International in early February due to hand and hip injuries.
He has also been battling a wrist problem for months and after initially saying he would be in action at Bay Hill, announced he would be withdrawing on Monday.
“Man, it’s a tough decision right now,” the 28-year-old said, in a video on his Twitter channel.
“I have a lot of work to do to get everything back into order for this week and I just feel like it’s too shorter time for me to get back to 100 per cent and playing at 100 per cent capacity.
“Right now, I’m like 90 per cent. I don’t want to go out there and hurt myself even more, and not be 100 per cent ready for the rest of the season. I don’t want to come back early and then have to take more time off.
“It’s a hard decision I have to make right now, but I’m going to have to unfortunately not play this week.”
