Gooch part of 3-way tie atop LIV Greenbrier at 63

Talor Gooch, despite facing a PGA Tour suspension for his involvement with LIV Golf, is igniting a storm after receiving a special invite to compete in the 2023 PGA Championship. The PGA of America’s decision to grant Gooch an exemption, based solely on his performance, has drawn criticism.
