Report: Major-winning LIV pro declined invite to 2024 PGA Championship

After the controversial invitation extended to LIV golfer Talor Gooch for the 2023 PGA Championship, reports have emerged claiming a major-winning LIV pro has declined an invite to the 2024 edition of the event.

The decline marks a significant development in the ongoing rift between the traditional golf establishment and the upstart LIV Golf league. It remains to be seen how the PGA of America will respond to this latest challenge to its authority.
