Registration for exempt players, and for non-exempt players with a handicap index
of
6.4 or lower as of the date of entry, will open on October 1 and will
remain
open until the field limit (120 players including spots reserved for exempt players)
is reached. When the field limit is reached, all additional registrants will be entered in
the
pre-qualifier at Presidio Golf Club on Friday, March 8, 2024.
Once entries close, if there are any unfilled spots in the Men's Championship (due to
fewer than 50 exempt players registering
or withdrawals), they will be filled by Pre-Qualifier registrants in the order in which
they registered.
Players entering pre-qualifying will pay an entry fee of $150 for the pre-qualifier, and
those
advancing from the pre-qualifier will pay the remainder of the entry fee (must be paid
prior to playing).
The 36-hole match play qualifier will be held March 9-10, 2024, with
18 holes played at TPC Harding Park and 18 holes at Presidio Golf
Course for a combined 36-hole qualifying score.
There will be 156 players in the qualifying round with
64 players advancing to match play. When all
qualifying has been completed, the Men’s
Championship Flight will consist of 64 contestants.
In the event of a playoff to qualify for match
play, a
player must be present in order to retain his
right
to participate in the playoff.
Match play will begin on March 16, 2024. All
match play for the Championship Flight will be held at
TPC Harding Park.
A schedule of all dates of
play can be found on the tournament website
