The countdown is on to the third men’s major of 2024, the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
The field will consist of 156 golfers when action gets underway on Thursday and with six days to go, there are currently 150 golfers in the field.
The list is made up of 82 exempt players and 68 qualifiers along with 15 amateurs. One of the exempt players is Tiger Woods, who received a special exemption. The full field will be announced Monday.
The final pathways to Pinehurst involve exemption categories 12 and 22.
From the USGA website, those categories are described as:
- 12. Multiple winners of PGA Tour events that award full-point allocation for the FedEx Cup, from the conclusion of the 2023 U.S. Open to the initiation of the 2024 U.S. Open.
- 22. From the current Official World Golf Ranking, the top 60 points leaders and ties as of June 10, 2024, iuf not previously exempt.
Robert MacIntyre, winner of last week’s RBC Canadian Open and currently ranked No. 39 in the OWGR, will most assuredly get one of the six spots.
If he is the only one who nabs a spot, then the last five spots will be filled via final qualifying alternates.
