Bryson DeChambeau underwent surgery last month to alleviate an issue that has caused vertigo over the past few years.

DeChambeau, making his first start of the year at the Asian Tour's Saudi International, said in a story on LIV Golf’s website that he had surgery Dec. 15 to remove a retention cyst in one of his maxillary sinuses. That cyst had restricted one of his nasal passages, leading to dizzy spells and bouts of vertigo that have plagued him since the 2020 Masters.

“To get that fixed, it’s been the greatest decision of my life,” DeChambeau told the website.
