DeChambeau announced the news on Sunday with a post on his social media channels. He listed a wrist issue as the reason for his withdrawal. Luis Carrera replaced him for the team competition on Sunday.
"I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday's round and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury," DeChambeau said.
"Not how I wanted this week to go, but wishing the Crushers a strong finish. I'm going to take a few days to get evaluated and hope to be ready for LIV Golf Virginia."
DeChambeau entered the weekend looking to make history. If he won at Chapultepec Golf Club, he would become the first player to win three consecutive LIV Golf events.
The trip south did not start well for DeChambeau, who was tied for 41st place at the time of his withdrawal. He was set to begin the final round 16 shots behind Jon Rahm, who continued to lead on Sunday afternoon. This was the result of issues with the playing surface, as well as some struggles on the green.
One surprising moment, in particular, saw DeChambeau hit a putt from mere feet away. The ball went to the left of the hole without touching it, which caused the golfer to look off into the distance with a stunned expression on his face.

DeChambeau, who failed to make the final cut at the Masters, will now try to get back to full health before LIV Golf Virginia on May 7-10.
This event takes place the week before the PGA Championship, which returns to Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania for the first time since 1962.
