Laurie Canter to Compete in Players Championship

Laurie Canter is set to make history as the first former LIV Golf member to qualify for the PGA Tour's prestigious Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. This opportunity arose after his runner-up finish at the DP World Tour's Investec South African Open, which propelled him into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Canter's last appearance in a LIV event was over a year ago, thus meeting the PGA Tour's eligibility criteria for non-members who have participated in LIV events. He has been competing successfully on the DP World Tour, with recent victories at the European Open and Bahrain Championship. Fans and commentators view his participation as a significant moment in golf, bridging the gap between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The Players Championship will take place from March 13-16, 2025.
