The US Open Championship is one of the golf’s most prestigious tournaments. It is open for participation to any professional or amateur with a handicap index of 0.4 or lower. The 125th US Open at Oakmont Country Club is scheduled from June 12 to June 15. It offers a platform for players to earn their spot through a two-stage qualifying process.
The US Open qualification process is tests skill and endurance. It begins with Local Qualifying, an 18-hole competition held across 110 sites in late April and early May. Players who advance from these events move on to Final Qualifying, a 36-hole, single-day marathon held at 13 sites in late May and early June. Some players, based on exemption categories, bypass Local Qualifying and enter directly into Final Qualifying. The USGA received a record 10,202 entries in the year 2025, highlighting the championship’s open and competitive nature.
Notably, the number of qualifying spots varies depending on each site, with top performers advancing either directly or through playoffs for the final positions.
