Therein lies the $$$ hypocrisy. You are out ---------- except.........
Apparently you're a PGA of America member?

I just remembered (& checked to make sure my memory wasn't failing).

Paul Casey (a LIV Tour member) was granted a Special Exemption into the PGA Championship.

Casey's career obviously doesn't compare with Koepka's, nor is he even American.

It seems the PGA of America has already made its decision regarding LIV players.

Now it's up to Zach Johnson.
