22-year-old Kazuma Kobori will be making his Major debut at the 2024 PGA Championship in his first season as a pro. Kobori's win record when he first made his debut on the PGA Tour of Australasia matches Tiger Woods' streak of three wins from his first 10 starts on the Tour. Now, Kobori will be teeing it up alongside Tiger Woods and other big names at the 2024 PGA Championship.

The New Zealander has earned himself a spot on the field with a special invite to the 2024 PGA Championship. In 2023, before Kobori turned pro, he won the Order of Merit on the PGA Tour of Australasia. Apart from an invite to the second Major of the year, Kobori also got a membership to the DP World Tour for the 2025 season.

In two months, Kazuma Kobori managed to win the Webex Players Series Murray River, the Webex Players Series Victoria, and the Webex Players Series Sydney on the Australasia Tour. The PGA Championship will be his Major debut.

Alongside Kobori, the likes of Adrian Meronk, Joaquin Niemann, and David Puig have also received special invites to the 2024 PGA Championship. A total of six special invites have been given out to LIV Golf players this year.
