The PGA Championship field next week at Valhalla includes everyone from the top 100 in the world
The PGA Championship officially has Tiger Woods in a field released Tuesday that includes invitations to seven players from Saudi-funded LIV Golf, giving the major the entire top 100 in the world ranking at Valhalla next week. The PGA of America strives to have the top 100 in the world to maintain its reputation for having the strongest field of the four majors, although it is not part of the criteria. Instead, the PGA uses a catch-all category of “special invitations.
The seventh invitation went to David Puig, the 22-year-old from Spain who is No. 106 in the world ranking. Puig has finished in the top 10 in six of his last seven tournaments on the Asian Tour, including two wins. LIV will be represented by 16 players, down from 18 a year ago. Among those left off the list was former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, who won twice late last year in South Africa in tournaments co-sanctioned by the European tour. He is No. 125 in the world.
