Thirty-three more players qualify for U.S. Open; Tiger Woods officially out

The USGA announced on Monday that 33 players qualified for the U.S. Open, based on the Official World Golf Ranking and various points lists.

The top 60 in the OWGR after the PGA Championship earned exemptions into the season's third major at Los Angeles Country Club, June 15-18. That included 25 players who were not otherwise exempt; among them, world No. 18 Tyrrell Hatton and major winners Jason Day and Patrick Reed.

A quintet of others made it into the field by being the top five players on this season's FedExCup points list, who were not otherwise eligible. The top two players from the 2022 DP World Tour Finals Points List, who weren't already in the field, were invited, as was the highest ranked player, not otherwise exempt, in the current Race to Dubai rankings.

The USGA also announced that three-time U.S. Open winner Tiger Woods had withdrawn from the championship as he recovers from a recent surgery. This was the final year of Woods' U.S. Open exemption from winning the 2019 Masters.

There are still more opportunities for players to gain entry into the U.S. Open, including final qualifying, being inside the OWGR top 60 by June 12 and winning the NCAA DI men's national championship.

Here's a look at the current field and how they qualified (bold – U.S. Open champion; a – amateur):
