The 2026 U.S. Open field will have 156 players. So far, 107 golfers have qualified. The other 49 will be decided over the next couple weeks, with the bulk of them earning spots Monday, June 8, on Golf's Longest Day.
There are nine golf courses around the U.S. and one in Canada that will serve as final qualifying sites. Each site will have 36 holes of high drama and only a select few will advance (the number advancing varies by site).
U.S. Open 2026 field so far at Shinnecock Hills
Brooks Koepka of the United States putts on the 18th green as a crowd looks on during the final round of the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on June 17, 2018 in Southampton, New York.
Preston Stout and J.T. Poston are the latest additions to the list. Stout got in by virtue of his individual title at the NCAAs. He, like six others on this list, needs to remain an amateur in order to play in the 2026 U.S. Open. Poston, meanwhile, is now in the field after winning the Memorial, which will push him inside the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking, which updates weekly. As of June 7, 2026, the U.S. Open qualifiers are:

How can players still qualify for the U.S. Open?
Other than navigating final qualifying, a player can get to Shinnecock by "winning multiple PGA Tour events that award full FedEx Cup points allocation since the last U.S. Open," according to the USGA. That could come into play at the RBC Canadian Open, the final PGA Tour stop before the USO. A win at the RBC may not be needed, though, as golfers who climb into the top 60 of Official World Golf Ranking by the June 15 update, if not already qualified, will be in the Open. Finally, the USGA always reserves the right to offer special exemptions.
Are Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson playing the U.S. Open?
Woods, a three-time winner of the U.S. Open, was not eligible. Past U.S. Open champs are exempt for the next 10 years, while winners of the other majors are exempt for five. Tiger's last major was the 2019 Masters. Mickelson, like Tiger, will miss a third straight major in 2026. Mickelson has been out of action due to an undisclosed family matter. Lefty's last major was the 2021 PGA Championship.
