The LIV Golfer used his team Crushers GC’s Instagram page to share a post with a slide reading, "Breaking News," and a video of the two playing, captioned:

“Bryson DeChambeau will not be playing at the 2025 Masters due to a ‘chest injury’ that occured while playing pickup football with Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford.”

DeChambeau failed to catch a strong throw by Stafford in the clip, getting hit in the chest by the football. However, he clicked a selfie for the third slide and revealed:
