Seven LIV golfers invited to PGA Championship
Seven LIV golfers, including Talor Gooch and Hudson Swafford, have received special invites to the 2023 PGA Championship. The PGA of America extended the exemptions based on the players’ rankings and performance, despite their affiliation with the controversial LIV Golf series. The decision has sparked controversy, as the PGA Tour has suspended LIV members. However, the PGA of America maintains that its choice is based on merit rather than affiliation. The invited LIV golfers will avoid qualifying through the Open Championship for a spot in the U.S. Open.
