The U.S. Open will become the first major championship to offer direct a direct exemption to the LIV Golf League, announcing Wednesday that one player in the top of three of its points standings this spring will earn a spot in the championship at Oakmont in June.
The United States Golf Association released its 24 exemption categories for the championship that will also see the top 10 LIV Golf League players in April exempt from local qualifying and earning a direct spot into final 36-hole qualifying.
