The final positions for this year’s US Open at Pinehurst No.2 are currently available, and the struggle to secure them will occur across ten North American venues on Monday. With professionals and amateurs alike vying to qualify for the third men’s Major of the year, the pressure is on for those who have not yet guaranteed their place.
Eager to participate in the US Open, several LIV players from the Saudi-backed circuit will be exerting their best efforts at the Final Qualifying event. While some have already secured their positions in the tournament, others will need to deliver their top performances on the ‘longest day in golf’ in order to earn their place in the prestigious event at Pinehurst No.2.
Players such as Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Martin Kaymer have automatic exemptions to play, while other LIV players such as Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, Tyrrell Hatton, and Adrian Meronk have already qualified through other means. The pressure is on for the remaining LIV golfers to give their all at the final qualifiers and secure their place in the US Open.
In addition to the 18 LIV players who will be competing for their place at the US Open, some notable names will not be attempting final qualifying. Despite their absence, other LIV players such as Joaquin Niemann and Dean Burmester will be aiming to make an impact and secure their entry to the tournament.
The designated venues for the US Open final qualifying are situated across Florida, Maryland, California, Georgia, and North Carolina. It is set to be an intense and exhilarating day of competition as the golfers participate in the 36-hole events at their respective venues, striving to earn their spot in the highly anticipated US Open.
The stakes are high, and the competition will be intense as these talented players battle it out for the opportunity to compete at Pinehurst No.2. As the golf world eagerly awaits the results, all eyes will be on the LIV golfers vying for their place in this year’s US Open.
