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.

Gooch, a nine-time PGA Tour winner and former world No. 20, was granted the exemption because the PGA of America believes he deserves a place in the field based on merit. However, the PGA Tour has suspended LIV Golf members, making this invitation a subject of controversy.

The PGA of America maintains that its decision is not based on affiliation but solely on Gooch’s play. This move has caused a stir, with many questioning the fairness of allowing Gooch to participate in the PGA Championship while being suspended from the PGA Tour.
