Which LIV golfers have qualified for the PGA Championship 2025? Full list explored

Just like others, several LIV Golf stars are also set to compete at the PGA Championship 2025. This time, 16 players from the Saudi-backed circuit are in action at the second major of the season.

The PGA Championship 2025 will take place from Thursday, May 15 to Sunday, May 18 at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event will feature the superstars of golf from all over the world.

On Tuesday, May 6, Dustin Johnson, Tom McKibbin, and David Puig became the latest LIV Golf pros to earn the PGA Championship exemptions. Johnson has been in every major championship since 2009 and has won two of them. 22-year-old McKibbin is the youngest LIV star to compete in the second major of the season, while Puig will be making his second start here.

Speaking of the past PGA champions, three-time champion Brooks Koepka, two-time winner Phil Mickelson, and 2010 winner Martin Kaymer will be representing LIV Golf. Koepka was also the first LIV-signed golfer to win a major championship. For the uninitiated, Mickelson also holds the record as the oldest major champion, which he achieved in 2021 at the same event.

Among the other notables, Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm, and Bryson DeChambeau will look to claim their first-ever PGA Championship win. DeChambeau will compete at his first event since winning LIV Golf Korea. He has been in tremendous form recently, including a T5 finish at the Masters Tournament last month. Besides, he also won the US Open last year and had a memorable major season.
