Twenty LIV Golf players are set for us open golf final qualifying across three venues over two weeks, with the first tests coming Monday at Dallas Athletic Club and Walton Heath Golf Club. The qualifiers will decide a share of the remaining places in the 156-player field for the 126th U.S. Open.
Dallas Athletic Club Crowds 14 LIV Players
Dallas Athletic Club has the largest LIV Golf contingent in the final qualifying pool, with 14 players entered for a 36-hole sprint. Abraham Ancer, Josele Ballester, Branden Grace, Brendan Steele, Byeong Hun An, Caleb Surratt, Cameron Tringale, David Puig, Graeme McDowell, Harold Varner III, Michael La Sasso, Peter Uihlein, Scott Vincent, Sergio Garcia and Tom McKibbin are in that field.
That list gives Dallas the deepest concentration of LIV names in the three-site setup. The venue in Texas is one of the two Monday qualifiers, while Hino Golf Club in Japan is scheduled for next Monday, May 25.
Sergio Garcia Leads the Dallas Group
Garcia arrives after his best finish of the 2026 season, a solo second-place result at Maaden LIV Golf Virginia. He is the Fireballs GC captain and one of the most recognizable names in the Dallas field.
Puig has already put the target in plain terms. Earlier this month, he said, “A lot. I think about it all the time. Playing majors is just amazing.” McDowell is also among the Dallas entrants, bringing the weight of a 2010 U.S. Open title into a qualifying round where nothing from past summers carries over.
Walton Heath and Hino Next
Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, joins Dallas on Monday, and Hino Golf Club follows on May 25 in Japan. Those sites round out the final qualifying stretch for players chasing entry into the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, from June 18-21.
The setup leaves the LIV group with one clear assignment: turn one 36-hole day, then another, into a place in golf’s biggest summer field. For the 20 players entered, the route is narrow, the field is stacked, and Dallas begins it first.
