Eight days ahead of the opening round of the 2023 PGA Championship, the PGA of America released a list of the full field set to compete at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.
Fifteen past champions are competing in the event, including Justin Thomas, winner a year ago at Southern Hills when he shot a closing 67 to overcame a seven-shot deficit in the final round before emerging as the winner in a three-hole aggregate playoff with Will Zalatoris.
Also notable are the 18 golfers who compete on the LIV Golf circuit: Abraham Ancer, Dean Burmester, Paul Casey, Bryson DeChambeau, Talor Gooch, Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Sihwan Kim, Brooks Koepka, Anirban Lahiri, Phil Mickelson, Joaquin Niemann, Mito Pereira, Thomas Pieters, Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith, Brendan Steele and Harold Varner III.
Ninty-nine of the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are listed in the field, with Will Zalatoris the only one missing as he is not competing due to recent back surgery.
Currently listed in the field is Jordan Spieth, although his status is uncertain after he went public on Monday with an announcement that he has a left wrist injury that he’s treating on a week to week basis. He pulled out of this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson event in hopes that rest will allow him to compete at Oak Hill and attempt to complete the career Grand Slam.
One spot is open for the winner of the AT&T Byron Nelson this week should that player not already have qualified.
