Each year, 156 players compete in the PGA Championship.
This is much more than the Masters, which has roughly 90 players each year.
What’s special about the PGA Championship is the top 20 finishers from the 2023 PGA Professional Championship qualify, so local pros from around the country and able to compete with the best the PGA Tour has to offer.
Below are all the ways to qualify for the 2023 PGA Championship:
1. All former winners of the PGA Championship
2. Winners of the last five Masters (2019-23)
3. Winners of the last five U.S. Opens (2018-22)
