The U.S. Golf Association is allowing those who have committed to the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf Tour to play in next week's U.S. Open. 'The players who have earned the right to compete in this year’s championship ... will have the opportunity to do so'
It appears that the final decision for the governing body of golf in the United States, Canada and Mexico was a simple question.
“Should a player who had earned his way into the 2022 U.S. Open, via our published field criteria, be pulled out of the field as a result of his decision to play in another event? And we ultimately decided that they should not.” This clears the way for Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and other players who have a spot in the field at the U.S. Open and who are playing in this week’s LIV Golf event to compete. However, the USGA made clear that it is not endorsing the new tour.
“Our decision regarding our field for the 2022 U.S. Open should not be construed as the USGA supporting an alternative organizing entity, nor supportive of any individual player actions or comments. Rather, it is simply a response to whether or not the USGA views playing in an alternative event, without the consent of their home tour, an offense that should disqualify them for the U.S. Open.”
