We’re days from the start of the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., and the full field for the second men’s major of the year is finally complete.
Sixteen past champions are listed among the field to compete. Among them is Brooks Koepka, winner a year ago at Oak Hill when he shot a closing 67 to outpace Viktor Hovland and win the Wanamaker Trophy for the third time in his career. Koepka is also coming with momentum after winning his fourth career LIV event last week in Singapore.
Also in the field is Tiger Woods. A four-time PGA winner, including memorably in a playoff over Bob May at Valhalla in 2000, Woods has not officially announced if he will be playing or not, but the PGA Championship's social media handle showed video of him practicing this week at Valhalla.
Woods did not compete at last year’s PGA after undergoing fusion surgery on his right ankle a month earlier. He has made only two starts in PGA Tour events since the surgery: the Genesis Invitational in February, where he withdrew because of the flu during the second round, and the Masters last month, where he made his record-breaking 24th straight cut at Augusta while finishing 60th. His most recent PGA Championship start was 2022, where he made the cut at Southern Hills but withdrew after the third round.
Much of the qualifying criteria closed last Monday, and the PGA of America released the full field for the 105th championship on Tuesday. Koepka was among nine LIV golfers who were already exempt or announced as in the field, along with past PGA champions Phil Mickelson and Martin Kaymer. Seven other LIV golfers also qualified, either thanks to the position on the PGA Championship points list or via special invitation.
Chris Gotterup, winner of the Myrtle Beach Classic on Sunday, and S.H. Kim claimed the final two spots in the field; Kim earned his spot when Rory McIlroy, who already had qualified for the championship, claimed victory at the Wells Fargo. On Monday, Taylor Montgomery withdrew, with C.T. Pan replacing him in the field.
