WHO CAN PLAY IN THE US OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT

The US Open Golf tournament is open to both professionals and amateurs; however, amateurs must not have a handicap over 1.4 to even have a chance at the US Open Golf Leaderboard. Players either have to earn their spot by qualifying or meet one of fourteen conditions to automatically be entered.

For example, the winner of the Mark H. McCormack Medal, who is considered the number one amateur in the world, automatically qualifies for the US Open. With the largest payout field of any of the four majors, the $12.5 million dollar payout distributed among the winners makes the US Open Golf tournament a coveted payday for professionals and amateurs alike.
