84 golfers will attempt to earn one of eight spots available for U.S. Amateur Final Qualifying, July 1, at Beatrice Country Club. The USGA went to the two-stage qualifying process in 2024 where most entrants must advance through an 18-hole Local Qualifier before competing for a spot in the U.S. Amateur at Final Qualifying, which takes place at 19 locations. This year's U.S. Amateur Championship will be conducted at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. For details link to the appropriate tab above.
Entries are open to amateur golfers with an up-to-date Handicap Index® based on ratings for men not exceeding 0.4 under the Rules of Handicapping. A current Handicap ID number (GHIN) issued through an authorized golf club is required and must be submitted on the entry form.
Amateur Status: All amateur players must conform to the Rules of Amateur Status as approved by the United States Golf Association and The R&A.
Performance in Local Qualifying: If a player fails to return a score within 12 strokes of the Course Rating, future entries for certain USGA Championships may be declined. Players who are placed on Performance Violation 1 or 2 will be notified via email and provided a link to submit recent tournament scores that illustrate their ability to compete at the national championship level. Players who shoot 15 or more strokes above the course rating for 9-holes may be withdrawn from the qualifier and placed in Performance Violation 1. The entire Performance Policy for USGA Qualifying, including instructions for clearing a violation, can be found at the following link:
