LOUISVILLE, Ky. — LIV Golf’s usual suspects are in contention once again at a major championship.
Last year it was Brooks Koepka who claimed the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, and this year at Valhalla Golf Club the five-time major winner is back in the mix at 7 under, five shots off the lead, but his former rival and current colleague Bryson DeChambeau is a little higher up on the leaderboard at 9 under, just three shots behind Xander Schauffele.
Of the 16 LIV players to tee it up this week, 11 are inside the cut line. On the flip side, five players saw their weeks end early and have since slammed the trunk and made their way home. From the top of the leaderboard to the bottom, here’s how all 16 LIV players have fared thus far at the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla.
