Dustin Johnson will be at the Quail Hollow Club next week after all.
The double winner of the major championship and member of the Liv golf has obtained a special exemption from the PGA of America to participate in the PGA championship next week in North Carolina. Johnson's previous exemption in the second major championship of the year – a five -year pass for his victory at the Masters in 2020 – ended last year.

Johnson will be one of the 16 members of the Liv golf on the field at the PGA championship next week, which is the same number as last year. The circuit supported by Saudi Arabia does not receive official golf ranking points in the world of its events, which has made it increasingly difficult for its members to continue to qualify for the main championships.
The PGA of America automatically understands the 70 best golfers in PGA championship points After the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in their field. The organization then generally adds all the golfers to the Top 100 of the OWGR who have not yet been qualified, all the previous winners of the PGA championship, the winners of the last five major championships, the last three winners of the players' championship and the 15 best finish and the links of the PGA championship field last year, among other criteria, to fulfill the 156-man-man field last year.
Johnson, who climbed once as high as n ° 1 in the world, is now at n ° 751. He won 24 times on the PGA Tour before leaving for Liv Golf, although he missed the Cup in four of his last nine major departures – including last month in Augusta National. He never won the PGA championship, although he finished second in consecutive years in 2019 and 2020.
Johnson will be joined on the ground by golfe colleagues from Liv Bryson Dechambeau, Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Patrick Reed, Cam Smith, Joaquín Niemann, Phil Mickelson, Tom McKibbin, Richard Bland, Dean Burmest, Brooks Koepka, David Puig, Jon Rahm, Martin Kaym, John Caitlin. Garcia, McKibbin, Niemann and Puig also received a special invitation from the PGA of America.

Rickie Fowler also received an invitation to participate. Fowler's first victory in PGA Tour career arrived at Quail Hollow in 2012, although the fans' favorite has only won once in the past six years. The PGA of America allows all members of the two Ryder Cup teams from 2023 to the event as long as they are classified in the Top 100. Fowler is currently classified n ° 125.
Tiger Woods is not on the field next week, because he is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He should miss the rest of the season. John Daly, who won his second Wanamaker trophy in 1991, is not on the ground either.
There are two still open spots, reserved for the winner of the Truist Championship and Myrtle Beach Classic this week on the PGA Tour.
The PGA championship is expected to start on May 15. Xander Schauffele preceded Dechambeau to win a victory in a blow last year in what was his first victory in the major career.
