About the tournament

The U.S. Open is the biggest of the 15 national championships conducted by the USGA. Open to amateurs and professionals. Amateurs gain entry via USGA win or runner-up finishes while having the opportunity to qualify alongside non-exempt professionals in an 18-hole "Local' qualifying followed by 36-hole "Final" qualifying which is affectionately known as golf's longest day. Highly-ranked amateurs will be exempted past the 18-hole Local Qualifying. See the USGA website for details. And if you are exempt on any level be sure to apply by the deadline anyway.

The USGA intends to make the U.S. Open the most rigorous, yet fair, examination of golf skills, testing all forms of shot-making. The USGA prepares the course after careful consideration of 14 different factors.
