Final Qualifying for next month’s U.S. Open begins on Monday. Here is everything you need to know as players look to book their spots for the penultimate Major Championship of 2024.
Between April 22 to May 14, thousands of hopefuls competed in 109 local qualifiers, comprising an 18-hole round, across the United States and Canada in Local Qualifying.
Any professional golfer or amateur with a Handicap Index of 0.4 or better was eligible to enter.
Players who advance through local qualifying, and those who were exempt, head to one of 13 Final Qualifying sites.
Played over 36 holes in a single day, ten venues are in the U.S., one in England, one in Canada, and one in Japan.
Starting on Monday, May 20, U.S. Open Final Qualifying begins across three sites.
Often called “Golf’s Longest Day” – the last day of qualifying is June 3, when ten locations across the U.S. and Canada will hold 36-hole qualifying simultaneously.
