The PGA of America on Tuesday revealed the
names of 154 of the 156 golfers who will compete at Valhalla
Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. The tournament begins on May 16.
The remaining two spots will go to the winners of the Wells
Fargo Championship and Myrtle Beach Classic. Should a golfer who
is already exempt emerge victorious, the PGA of America will go
to the alternate list.
Koepka, ranked 37th in the world, recorded his fifth career
major last year by winning the PGA Championship at Oak Hill
Country Club. He also won the tournament in 2018 and 2019.
Woods, a 15-time major champion, won the PGA Championship in
1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007, while world No. 2 McIlroy emerged
victorious in 2012 and 2014.
Scheffler, a runner-up last year at this tournament, and the top
103 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will test their
mettle at Valhalla.
In addition to Koepka, LIV Golf features 15 other players in the
field -- notably World No. 5 Jon Rahm of Spain, No. 17 Tyrrell
Hatton of England and No. 56 Cameron Smith of Australia.
