The 2023 PGA Championship is this week, with a full list of some huge names — including defending champion Justin Thomas — teeing it up at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York.
But there’s a growing list of notable names who won’t be there, and it includes a bunch of former champions who have pulled out of the event that tees up on Thursday.
So let’s take a look at who won’t be there, even though the list of who WILL be there is absolutely a who’s who of the game right now (and yes, it includes some LIV Golf members in the mix).
1
Tiger Woods
He underwent ankle surgery last month.
2
Jason Dufner
He won in 2013, and now he’s out.
3
Martin Kaymer
He’s been in the last three LIV Golf events, which is strange.
4
John Daly
Remember, he won in 1991.
5
Davis Love III
He won back in 1997.
6
Vijay Singh
He won in 1998.
