PGA Tour Tweaks Boundary at Players Championship After DeChambeau Comments

Bryson DeChambeau will apparently not be blasting his way over any more water at this week's Players Championship.

The PGA announced Tuesday that the ninth fairway would be out of play on hole No. 18 after DeChambeau speculated about potentially trying to take the water out of play.

"In the interest of safety for spectators, volunteers and other personnel, the Players Championship Rules Committee has installed an internal out of bounds left of the lake for play of hole 18," the PGA Tour said in a statement. "Similar instance of internal out of bounds for safety purposes have occurred at The Open Championship [hole 9] in 2017, the 2021 Sony Open in Hawaii [hole 13 and 18], and, most recently, the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.
