Talor Gooch of LIV Golf gets to play in at least one major this year. He announced Monday on social media that he received an invitation to play in the PGA Championship next week.
The PGA of America is not expected to release the full field until Tuesday as it waits to hear back from all the players who were offered invitations for Valhalla.
Gooch’s invitation is significant because he rarely plays outside the LIV Golf schedule. His invitation was based purely on his performance in the Saudi-funded league. Gooch won three times on LIV last year and won its points list.
Kerry Haigh, the championship director at the PGA of America, has said the last two years that the committee would consider players from tours all over the world.
“We look at all lists,” Haigh said in March. “If players are deserving, hopefully we would invite them.”
The PGA of America last month said Joaquin Niemann had received an invitation. Niemann also received a special invitation to the Masters — Augusta National cited his victory in the Australian Open without mentioning his LIV victory in February.
