Spanish LIV golf star David Puig is all set to grace the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club after receiving an invite, taking to Instagram to share his excitement for the major.

Last week, Puig tied for 20th place at LIV Korea in Incheon and landed £159k for his efforts, while seeing Bryson DeChambeau clinch his first victory of 2025 along with a hefty £3.5million prize pot. Despite the Spaniard being hailed as potentially “more talented” than compatriot Jon Rahm by some on the PGA Tour, a breakthrough on the major stage has eluded him.

But after missing out on last month’s Masters, the 23-year-old is now readying himself for his fifth major appearance after getting an invite to compete at the PGA Championship.

In an Instagram post extending his thanks to Korea following the LIV event, he then wrote” “Next up @pgachampionship! ! Let’s go!!!”

It has been reported by Mirror US Sport that the PGA will announce their last raft of special invites on Tuesday.

Whilst not run by the PGA Tour, but rather operated by the PGA of America, the championship has extended invites to players who’ve joined the Saudi-funded LIV Golf, like Puig who received an invitation to the 2024 event at Valhalla in Kentucky, alongside Joaquin Niemann, Sergio Garcia, and Talor Gooch.

Puig did not survive the cut at Valhalla, carding rounds of 72 and 73 for a total of three over par, missing the weekend by four strokes.

Puig has only made the cut in two of the four major events he’s competed in, also missing the weekend at the 2024 Open Championship. He placed T39 at the 2023 US Open and 55th a year later.

However, Puig’s future appears brighter. Despite not having a win on the LIV Golf circuit yet, he is currently sitting in seventh place in the individual standings, ahead of Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and others.

So far in 2025, Puig has managed to finish in the top 10 in three out of seven LIV events, including two fourth-place finishes in Adelaide and Singapore.

Back in March, he said: “The start of the year was pretty successful so far. I played more consistent than last year. I’m glad that all the work back home in the offseason paid off. That’s pretty much the plan throughout this year, just try to be more consistent in every part of the game.”

Before joining LIV in 2022, Puig was one of the most promising prospects in college golf. He was a standout player at Arizona State, which has produced the likes of Rahm, Mickelson and Pat Perez.
