Every LIV golfer who’ll be at the US PGA Championship

There will be a strong LIV Golf presence at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill next week.

A total of 18 LIV golfers will tee it up for the second major of the year in New York, the same number of players competing in the Saudi-backed league who took part in this year’s Masters Tournament.

Past champions Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Martin Kaymer will be among those in the 156-player field looking to become the first LIV player to seal major championship glory after joining the circuit.

• Gallacher reinstated to tour after rankings blunder

• Michelle Wie West not in favour of LIV for women

Chilean Mito Pereira is in the field after his capitulation on the final hole last year at Southern Hills when Justin Thomas took home the title, while Englishman Paul Casey also received an invite despite dropping outside the world’s top 100.

Here’s a look at all 18 LIV golfers pegging it up at Oak Hill, including their PGA Championship records and their current world ranking…
