2025 PGA Championship Field Includes 16 LIV Golf Players

The official field for the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow has been announced, featuring a mix of top-ranked players and notable inclusions from both the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf League. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, defending champion Xander Schauffele, and Masters champion Rory McIlroy headline the 156-player field. Sixteen LIV golfers, including Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson, are set to compete, matching last year's record for LIV participants at a major. The field also includes past PGA champions, several players who received special exemptions, and rising young talents. Special invitations allowed some players outside the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking, such as Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, David Puig, Tom McKibbin, and Rickie Fowler, to participate. The tournament will take place May 15-18, with two spots still open for winners of this week's PGA Tour events if not already qualified.
