Can LIV Golf players compete in majors?
Yes.
LIV golfers can still compete in golf's four majors — the Masters, the British Open, the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship — because the organizing bodies that stage them set their own entry rules separately from the PGA, which banned LIV golfers from their tournaments.
Seventeen LIV Golf members will play in the PGA Championship: Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Paul Casey, Talor Gooch, Abraham Ancer, Dean Burmester, Sihwan Kim, Anirban Lahiri, Joaquin Niemann, Mito Pereira, Thomas Pieters, Brendan Steele and Harold Varner III.
