LIV golfer lands special PGA Championship invite as Tiger Woods is officially out

PGA Tour of America finally released the list of golfers playing at the PGA Championship slated to take place next week. Tiger Woods will miss the event as he is on rest after undergoing ankle surgery last month.

The list includes 155 names with the last spot to be filled by the winner of the AT&T Bryson Nelson Championship, scheduled for this week.

Interestingly, Paul Casey also earned an invitation to compete in the tournament. Although he did not qualify for the tournament, the PGA Championship officials sent him a special invitation as they have "the right to invite additional players not included in the categories."

Seeemingly, Casey missed the PGA Championship last year due to an injury before joining LIV Golf and thus was invited this year. He finished fourth in the tournament in 2021.

18 LIV golfers are invited to the major championship, including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Patrick Reed.

Tiger Woods competed at the PGA Championship in 2022 but withdrew from the tournament following the third round of 79
