It is placed two weeks prior to the Ryder Cup. DeChambeau would need a sponsor\u2019s invite\u2014which he\u2019d easily get\u2014but more importantly, permission from the PGA Tour, which would seem unlikely. A PGA Tour spokesman said that DeChambeau \u201cis not eligible for PGA Tour competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lakbp2p25\">DeChambeau could conceivably play in Europe a week prior at the DP World Tour\u2019s Irish Open, where he would need an invite.

It&#8217;s one of those deals, it&#8217;s tough. When you get to the end of the PGA Tour season, I think you&#8217;re a little bit tired. You look at a year like last year I had, when it came to the end of the season, I was pretty worn out. It took a lot out of me. It was important for me to get rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_46i0u2rcs\">\u201cI think now with the way the schedule is, I think there&#8217;s like four weeks after the Tour Championship before the Ryder Cup, and that&#8217;s plenty of time to get rest while still staying competitive.
