Sixteen LIV Golfers Invited to 2025 PGA Championship

The 2025 PGA Championship, set for May 15-18 at Quail Hollow, has announced a field featuring 16 players from the LIV Golf League, matching last year's number. Notable LIV invitees include Dustin Johnson, who received a special exemption after his Masters exemption expired, and young talents Tom McKibbin and David Puig, both granted last-minute special invitations. Other high-profile LIV participants such as Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia will also compete, while Patrick Reed secured his spot with his recent Masters performance. The PGA Championship does not have a dedicated LIV category, instead continuing its practice of awarding special invitations for the third consecutive year. The decision to include LIV golfers, who do not earn world ranking points in their league, remains divisive among fans and highlights ongoing professional golf tensions. Tiger Woods will miss the event due to injury.
