The 152nd Open Championship is almost here
As of Sunday, July 14, the field is at 158 players who will tee it up at Royal Troon.
Three spots were available for those not already qualified at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open, the final event in the Open Qualifying Series. Those went to Aaron Rai, Alex Noren, and Richard Mansell. There could also be withdrawals ahead of the event, like David Duval.
The Open begins Thursday in Scotland, but the tournament will play with as many as 158 if no one else withdraws. There will not be alternates entered into the field except to keep the total number of players at 156.
Only twice in the last 20 years – 2012 and 1995 – has the Open been played with more than 156 golfers.
