Last week Talor Gooch said he would not attempt to qualify for either the U.S. Open or British Open. But Monday Gooch learned he'll play at least one major this year: the PGA Championship, thanks to a special exemption.
The PGA had yet to confirm the news to SI but Gooch shared it via his social media account.
Looking forward to Valhalla next week!
Thank you for the invitation @PGA ud83dude4fud83cudffc See y'all there. pic.twitter.com/0Rcm652KMPThe year’s second major championship typically has numerous exemptions to give and often fills out its field by inviting those who are among the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking and not otherwise exempt.
