Decorated stars make up field
The field was also announced, with a spot reserved for those in the Top 60 worldwide rankings who were not otherwise exempt. Adam Scott, who will play in his 92nd consecutive major (a record), is one of the people who qualified in this manner.
The field will be led by the top-ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, who is also the favorite to win the title. Scheffler comes into the event on a good note, having recently won the Memorial Tournament, his fifth victory of the season.
Xander Schauffele, who is ranked second in the world, Rory McIlroy, who is ranked third, and Wyndham Clark, the defending champion, are among the other players that stand out in the field. LIV Golf stars Bryson DeChambeau and Joaquin Niemann will also arrive with immense confidence, having secured excellent results during the course of the season.
