Koepka is a three-time champion and qualifies as a past winner while Jon Rahm is a two-time major champion, which means he will be there.
DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Martin Kaymer and Cameron Smith are also qualified to compete in the tournament.

Smith is a former Open champion and finished in the top 10 at Oak Hill last year.
Tyrell Hatton will also be there since he is in the top 100 of the official world golf rankings.
Joaquin Niemann and Talor Gooch received special invitations and David Puig will make his first participation in the event.
Group LIV will be led by Koepka who is aiming to win back-to-back PGA Championships after winning in 2023.
He overcame pressure from Viktor Hovland and world number 1 Scottie Scheffler who finished T2 and two shots behind the winner.
DeChambeau came in T4 last year and is hoping to achieve a similar level of performance this time around.
