**PGA Championship Extends Special Invite to Talor Gooch**
Despite his affiliation with LIV Golf, Talor Gooch has received a special exemption to compete in the 2023 PGA Championship. The decision was made by the PGA of America, which believes Gooch deserves a place in the field based on his play.
Gooch, a nine-time PGA Tour winner, ranked 20th in the world prior to his move to LIV. The PGA of America’s exemption means he will avoid the need to qualify through the Open Championship for a spot in the U.S. Open.
The inclusion of Gooch is a controversial one, as the PGA Tour has suspended LIV Golf members. However, the PGA of America maintains that its decision is based on merit, not affiliation.
