The PGA of America released its preliminary field for the PGA Championship 2023 which will be held next week at Oak Hill Country Club.

And make no mistake, this is the best field of any tournament you will see anywhere in the world. It includes 99 of the top 100 players on the official World Ranking led by Masters champion Jon Rahm and defending PGA champion Justin Thomas. The only one missing is Will Zalatoris who has been sidelined by back surgery.

A couple notable absences are Tiger Woods who underwent ankle surgery following the Masters and may be out for the rest of the PGA Tour season. And Greece native Jeff Sluman, who could have played due to his lifetime exemption for having won the 1988 PGA, has opted not to play at the age of 66.

One name that is on the list, Jordan Spieth, may not be come next week. Spieth, who needs to win the PGA to become just the sixth player in history to complete a career grand slam, suffered a wrist injury and had to withdraw from the Byron Nelson tournament this weekend.

Justin Thomas tees off on the fifth hole during the first round of The Masters golf tournament in April.

“I’m focused on healing as quickly as possible and will have to evaluate my recovery week to week,” Spieth wrote on Twitter. “Sincere thanks to the medical professionals who have supported me over the weekend.”

Among the 155 players are 18 who have migrated to LIV Golf, a group led by Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson and Cameron Smith.

The field is not finalized as players could still drop out for various reasons and alternates would be added. As of Wednesday morning, these are the players that have officially committed to play:
