<p>Brooks Koepka <strong>was the big surprise of the 2023 PGA Championship</strong>, no one expected him to win the third round on Saturday May 20, but surprisingly he placed at T1 with -6th par. <strong>Also, he is a LIV Golfer which adds spice to his new title.</strong></p>



<p>Another big favorite during the tournament was <strong>Corey Conners who led the second round and was close to the first spot during the first second, but that wasn’t enough.</strong></p>



<p>Koekpa has three PGA Championship titles, the first was in<strong> 2018, then a back-to-back during the 2019 edition and finally the 2023 </strong>title where he was not a big favorite.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;<strong>2023 PGA Championship</strong>&nbsp;is underway at <strong>Oak Hill Country Club</strong>. The&nbsp;105th edition of the tournament has <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/justin-thomass-profile-age-height-wife-caddie-and-net-worth-20220918-0028.html">Justin Thomas</a></strong> as its defending champion and now, in the second major of the year, the big question is if&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/why-cameron-smith-cannot-play-in-the-2022-presidents-cup-20220918-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>LIV golfers</strong></a>&nbsp;are allowed to participate. </p>



<p>LIV&nbsp;is a professional golf tour which has divided the sport and the public opinion. This ‘new tour’ has taken away players from the&nbsp;<strong>PGA Tour&nbsp;</strong>by offering them incredible amounts of money. Because the&nbsp;<strong>LIV</strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;financed by the&nbsp;<em>Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia</em>, the PGA Tour simply cannot compete with the checks that have been offered to many golfers.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230518#BUS#1920"></div>


<p>So, considering all&nbsp;<strong>LIV players</strong>&nbsp;have been&nbsp;banned from the&nbsp;<strong>PGA Tour</strong>, thousands of fans wonder what will happen at the <strong>2023 PGA Championship</strong>. Read here to find&nbsp;out the answer.</p>



<h2>How many&nbsp;LIV golfers are playing in the 2023 PGA Championship?</h2>



<p>LIV golfers&nbsp;<strong>will be allowed to play in the 2023 PGA Championship</strong>. At the moment, despite the controversy, all those players have the chance to compete in the four majors. </p>







<p>These&nbsp;are the LIV players at Oak Hill: Phil Mickelson, <strong>Dustin Johnson</strong>, Cameron Smith, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/Brooks-Koepkas-profile-Age-wife-brother-caddie-and-net-worth-20230407-0014.html">Brooks Koepka</a></strong>, Abraham Ancer, Dean Burmester, <strong>Bryson DeChambeau</strong>, Talor Gooch, Sihwan Kim, Anirban Lahiri, <strong>Joaquin Niemann</strong>, Mito Pereira, Thomas Pieteres, Patrick Reed, Brendan Steele and Harold Varner III.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230518#BUS#1987"></div>


<p>The <strong>selection process</strong> was completed through different criteria. For example, Phil Mickelson and <strong>Brooks Koepka</strong> are former PGA Championship winners. Another way of entry is being a recent major champion: <strong>Cameron Smith</strong>, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed. The rest got in thanks to their ranking and last year’s results at the tournament in <strong>Southern Hills</strong>. </p>
