Such was the strength in depth of the 2024 PGA Championship field at Valhalla, that golf fans were treated to a memorable second men’s Major Championship of the season.
It felt like it had been a very long time since the world’s best golfers, those from all Tours, including LIV Golf, teed it up in the same tournament – and we were served up a real feast.
Some LIV Golf players have been unable to compete in Major Championships because they have not been able to accumulate enough Official World Golf Ranking points.
However, a handful of players from the Saudi-backed circuit have competed in both the Masters and the PGA Championship.
One player, a certain Bryson DeChambeau, who represents Crushers GC on LIV, has shone at both of these, and narrowly missed out on a playoff at the PGA Championship.
Six LIV golf players have made the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship, and it’s DeChambeau, who finished in a tie for sixth at the Masters, who leads the way by a long margin on a combined -22.
DeChambeau, who admitted that his near-miss at Valhalla was “definitely disappointing”, could well be a three-time Major winner at this point.
Although Scheffler came through to dominate at Augusta, former US Open champion DeChambeau had led the way after a stunning seven-under in the opening round.
And at Valhalla he was only denied a playoff after Schauffele, under pressure to secure his first Major Championship title, holed a six-footer for birdie at the 18th.
Here, we take a look at the LIV Golf leaderboard through the two completed Major Championships at Augusta and Valhalla.
