PGA Championship 2024 field: Who’s competing at Valhalla Golf Club
The field for next week’s PGA Championship at Valhalla is nearly set.
Each of the top 103 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will tee it up beginning next Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky, including No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Chan Kim (104), S.H. Kim (107) and Matt Kuchar (109) are the only players in the top 111 that weren’t invited to compete.
The final two spots in the 156-player field are being reserved for winners of this week’s PGA Tour events, the Wells Fargo Championship and Myrtle Beach Classic. If a player who is already exempt wins, the PGA of America will go to the alternate list.
LIV Golf has 16 players in the field. Joining defending champion Brooks Koepka (37) are Jon Rahm (5), Tyrrell Hatton (17), Cam Smith (56), Adrian Meronk (63), Lucas Herbert (89), Joaquin Niemann (91), Patrick Reed (92), David Puig (106), Bryson DeChambeau (117), Dean Burmester (130), Phil Mickelson (158), Andy Ogletree (214), Dustin Johnson (379), Martin Kaymer (4,317) and Talor Gooch (644).
Gooch, who has been outspoken about major eligibility criteria, received an invitation into his fifth straight PGA; he has made two of four previous cuts in the championship with a best finish of T-20 two years ago. The 2021 RSM Classic champion, Gooch has won three times on LIV, though not since last July.
