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.
