US Open field: Who is playing at Shinnecock in 2026?

Who has qualified to play at the next US Open? We have the full list of eligible players here…

BROOKLINE, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 17: A detail of the pin flag on the 15th green during the second round of the 122nd U.S. Open Championship at The Country Club on June 17, 2022 in Brookline, Massachusetts. (Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images)

The US Open is a unique major. The Masters has Augusta National, The Open has the links, and the US Open has the brutality.

Pinehurst No.2 hosted an almighty championship in 2024, culminating in Bryson DeChambeau beating Rory McIlroy in one of the greatest major events in recent history.

McIlroy agonisingly missed short putts on holes 16 and 18 to surrender the tournament to DeChambeau who roared in a par putt on the 72nd hole to win his second US Open title, after splashing a remarkable bunker shot from the greenside sand under immense pressure.

This was one of the most memorable US Opens for some time. J.J. Spaun then won his first major title at Oakmont in 2025, in what was a damp and wet tournament in Pittsburgh.

Shinnecock Hills is the host venue for the 2026 US Open.

Shinnecock has hosted the US Open five times. This will be the sixth time, and the most recent occasion was in 2018 when Brooks Koepka won the US Open in consecutive years.

Along with DeChambeau, past US Open champions on the LIV Golf roster such as Jon Rahm will be in the field with their 10-year exemptions.

Players at the top of the world amateur golf ranking and the Official World Golf Ranking will be eligible to play at Shinnecock, as well as previous winners of The Open Championship, the Masters and the PGA Championship.

About the author

Matt Chivers

Matt has been playing golf since the age of 13 and was largely inspired to take up the game by countless family members who played golf during his childhood.

Matt is a member at Royal Cinque Ports in Deal playing off a 5 handicap, just a pitching wedge away from his hometown of Dover where he went to school and grew up. He has previously been a member at Etchinghill and Walmer and Kingsdown in Kent.

Having studied history at the University of Liverpool, Matt went on to pass his NCTJ Exams in Manchester a year later to fulfil his lifelong ambition of becoming a journalist. He picked up work experience along the way at places such as the Racing Post, the Independent, Sportsbeat and the Lancashire Evening Post.

Matt joined NCG in February 2023 and is the website’s main source of tour news, features and opinion. He has reported live from events such as the Masters, The Open, the Ryder Cup and The Players Championship, having also interviewed and spoken to many of the biggest names in the sport.

Consuming tour golf on what is a 24/7 basis, you can come to Matt for informed views on the game and the latest updates on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LPGA Tour, Ladies European Tour and LIV Golf.
