Who is in the U.S. Open field?

Here’s the updated list of players who will be in the field at the 117th U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills.

The U.S. Open Championship is inching closer and closer by the minute. First contested in 1895, America’s national championship has played host to some of the greatest moments in golf history and has provided some its greatest champions.

From the legends of yesteryear like Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson to the newer generation of champions such as Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods, the U.S. Open boasts arguably the richest history of any golf tournament the world has ever known.

First-time host Erin Hills, located approximately 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee, serves as the host for the for the 117th playing of the U.S. Open, becoming just the sixth public course to host the U.S. Open, joining Bethpage, Chambers Bay, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Torrey Pines in that elite category and should prove to be a true test to 156 of the best players in the world.

But exactly who will those 156 players be? Seeing as how the U.S. Open is a true “open” championship, approximately half the field is required to qualify but there is certain criteria that keeps the other half from having to do so. From being a former U.S. Open champ to being a former Masters champ to being in the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking at certain points and numerous others, some players simply don’t have to wonder whether or not they’ll be at Erin Hills come June 15.

Here’s who we know for sure will be playing the 117th U.S. Open and we’ll be updating the list constantly as qualifiers make their way into the field. Many players in the field qualify in multiple categories. If you don’t see a player’s name in a place where you think it should be, it’s because he’s already exempt from an earlier category.
