Top 5 best-performing LIV Golfers at the 2024 PGA Championship
1) Bryson DeChambeau (2nd)
After finishing at the T6 position at the last Majors, Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau headed to Kentucky for the second Major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship.
After four rounds, DeChambeau scored 20 under 264 just a stroke behind Xander Scahuffele. In the four rounds, he carded 68, 65, 67 and 64. His best performance came in the final round where he scored a bogey-free 64 with seven birdies and finished solo second in the competition.
In the post-tournament press conference, DeChambeau said (via PGA Championship):
"On my side of the coin, disappointing, but whatever. I played well. I didn't strike it my best all week, felt like I had my B game. Pretty much my putting was A+, my wedging was A+, short game was A+, driving was like B. Shot T in par in a major championship."
DeChambeau won a Major four years ago at the 2020 US Open.
2) Dean Burmester (T12)
The Stinger GC member Dean Burmester is the second-best performing LIV Golfer at the 2024 PGA Championship.
Burmester scored 12 under 272 to finish T12 in the tournament. He scored 69, 65, 68, and 70 in the four rounds at Valhalla Golf Club. This was his best performance in the four starts at the Championship.
He said (via LIV Golf):
"I did not have my C game today. It was not a good day. It was not pretty at all. Certainly, early on anyway. And then it got better on the back nine and then I had my chances that I missed. So, it is what it is. Good week. A lot of learning and we'll take it into Houston."
The South African earned an invite for the 2025 PGA Championship with his performance. He has not won a Major Championship so far in his career.
3) Brooks Koepka (T26)
Smash GC Captain Brooks Koepka won the last PGA Championship but failed to repeat his performance this year. He scored 9-under 275 with rounds of 67, 68, 74, and 66 in the competition. He finished tied at the 26th position with the likes of Mark Hubbard and Tom Kim.
4) Joaquin Niemann (T39)
Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann appeared in his seventh PGA Championship this year. He scored 7-under 278 with rounds of 73, 68, 69, and 67 and finished tied at 39th position.
