The leading LIV Golf League player not already exempt for this year’s Open Championship will gain entry to the field for Royal Portrush.<\/b><\/p>\n

The highest-placed player in the top five of the circuit’s standings after its June event in Dallas who has not already qualified will be awarded the spot.<\/p>\n

The 153rd Open takes place on the Northern Irish club’s Dunluce course from 17 to 20 July.<\/p>\n

The USGA last week announced<\/a> that the US Open, which takes place from 12 to 15 June at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, is offering an exemption to one leading LIV player.<\/p>\n

“The Open is a global championship for the best men’s golfers and each year we review our exemptions to ensure we offer pathways into the championship based on results achieved on the leading professional tours,” said Mark Darbon, the chief executive of the R&A, which runs The Open. <\/p>\n

“We acknowledge that players competing in LIV Golf should also have the opportunity to secure places in The Open through its individual season standings as well as existing pathways.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to offer a wide range of opportunities to qualify globally and look forward to seeing which golfers will emerge to take their place at Royal Portrush in July.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
