The 18 LIV Golf players in the field for the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon

A total of 18 LIV Golf players have qualified for the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon, surpassing the 16 entries at the US PGA in May, six more than at the US Open in June, and five more than at The Masters in April. This marks a significant presence of LIV Golf players in the final major of the year.

Among the LIV Golf players set to compete are prominent names such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Cameron Smith, the champion of the 150th Open. Notably, eight of these 18 players are major champions.

DeChambeau stands out as the LIV Golf player in the best form, recently winning the US Open for the second time, capitalizing on a late collapse by Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst No.2. He is one of only two players, alongside PGA Tour star Xander Schauffele, to have achieved top-10 finishes in all three majors this year.

Included in the list of 18 are two reserve players from LIV Golf, John Catlin and Laurie Canter, who qualified for The Open through strong performances on the Asian Tour and DP World Tour.

Here’s the list of LIV Golf players participating in the 2024 Open Championship, along with their odds of winning the Claret Jug:

**Notable LIV Golf Players Missing from The Open**

Despite the strong showing, some high-profile LIV Golf players will not be participating in the 2024 Open Championship. Among those who failed to qualify are Sergio Garcia, Talor Gooch, Patrick Reed, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood.

Garcia, a former Masters champion, narrowly missed out on qualification for the second consecutive year in the Final Qualifying. He expressed frustration with R&A officials during his first round and later attributed his failure to qualify to their actions.
