Which LIV Golf players are competing in the 2024 US Open?
There will be a total of 12 LIV Golf players competing in the third major of the season at the US Open at Pinehurst No.2 in North Carolina from 13-16 June.
The number of LIV Golf US Open entries falls one short of the 13 that participated in The Masters at famed Augusta National in April, and four short of the 16 at last month’s US PGA at Valhalla, a number that was inflated slightly due to some late PGA of America invites.
Only three LIV Golf players came through US Open qualifying: Eugenio Chacarra, Dean Burmester and David Puig.
They joined an already exempt nine LIV Golf players in the field:
- Jon Rahm
- Bryson DeChambeau
- Brooks Koepka
- Dustin Johnson
- Martin Kaymer
- Cameron Smith
- Phil Mickelson
- Tyrrell Hatton
- Adrian Meronk

It means no place in the field for a number of LIV Golf stars such as Joaquin Niemann, Talor Gooch, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia, albeit the latter could still sneak in as a result of being one of the first alternates following his near-miss in US Open qualifying last month.
DeChambeau has come the closest to notching a major win for LIV Golf in the first two majors of the season so far after finishing one shot behind PGA Tour star Xander Schauffele at the US PGA.
But according to the USGA’s chief championships officer John Bodenhamer, the number of LIV Golf participants in the US Open is more than likely going to increase heavily over the coming years as a result of a new pathway.
