First major for Gooch this year

After not receiving an invitation for Talor Gooch for the US Masters 2024 in April, the PGA Championship 2024 marks the first major of the year for the 32-year-old. Leading up to the Masters, Gooch made headlines by criticizing the PGA for the absence of invitations for some LIV players, questioning the level of the tournament.

Talor Gooch has already participated in the past four PGA Championships. His best finish came in 2022 with a tied 20th place. Last year, he missed the cut.
