The 2022 United States Open Championship is the 122nd U.S. Open, the national open golf championship of the United States. It is a 72-hole stroke play tournament scheduled for June 16–19 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb west of Boston. It will be the club's fourth U.S. Open.
The field for the U.S. Open is made up of players who gain entry through qualifying events and those who are exempt from qualifying. The exemption criteria include provision for recent major champions, winners of major amateur events, and leading players in the world rankings. Qualifying is in two stages, local and final, with some players being exempted though to final qualifying.[2]
As with all editions of the U.S. Open, eligibility to play is under the sole jursdiction of the United States Golf Association to the exclusion of the PGA Tour, Professional Golfers' Association of America or any other organization. In early June 2022, several exempt players resigned or were suspended from the PGA Tour in order to compete in the LIV Golf Invitational Series, which held its inaugural event in England one week prior to the U.S. Open. The USGA subsequently confirmed that those players would remain eligible to play in the U.S. Open
