The PGA Tour of America announced the PGA Championship field on Wednesday, May 10. The list comprises 99 of the top 100 golfers in OWGR, prior winners of the tournament, Masters winners, and additional golfers who qualified after winning a PGA event.
Interestingly, the officials have also invited several additional players who did not meet the qualification criteria in order to fill the remaining spots.
Joel Dahmen, an American golfer, has also received an invitation to the 2023 PGA Championship and is delighted to compete. Dan Rapaport, the golf guy on the Fore Play podcast, recently tweeted that he spoke with Dahmen about the offer.
"Some guys not thrilled with the PGA Championship field list. This, from one tour player. I asked Joel Dahmen how he got in and he said : “Great question…I was very surprised.”
Trending
However, fans found the field uninteresting as Tiger Woods was ruled out of the competition. They jumped into the comments section of the post and wrote:
"This is by far the least interesting Major of all time and won’t even watch. No Tiger, field is a joke and golf just doesn’t nothing but complain anymore. Done. It’s so boring now."
While some were happy with the field.
"That makes little sense! Why would a pro comment about being unhappy with field? If it’s as bad as you all say that would make it easier ! There’s room on the list for invitees-it’s always been that way."
