A South Carolina native will play in this week’s PGA Championship after he reportedly received a special invitation. Dustin Johnson -- a Columbia native who attended Coastal Carolina University -- is in the 156-player field and will tee off with Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa at 1:14 p.

PGA Championship’s field has been announced with several notable omissions and a last-minute invitation for a former World No.1. Quail Hollow will host the second Major tournament of the year, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy yet again the hot favourites,

Also getting special invitations were Joaquin Niemann, a three-time winner on LIV this year, and Sergio Garcia.
