There will soon be another way to qualify for the U.S. Open.
The USGA announced Monday that beginning with its 2023 national championship at Los Angeles Country Club, the player who finishes with the most combined Korn Ferry Tour points between the developmental tour’s regular season and three-event finals each year will be exempt into the following year’s U.S. Open.
“The USGA is pleased to offer an exemption to a tour that has been well-represented in the U.S. Open and has developed an accomplished group of professionals for more than three decades,” said John Bodenhamer, chief championships officer for the USGA.
