NEWTON, Kan. — It’s time for one of the best events of the year.
The 2024 U.S. Adaptive Open gets underway Monday at Sand Creek Station. It’s the third edition of the championship that puts the best disabled golfers in the world – 96 in total – in the spotlight. On Sunday, players got their last bit of preparation in before the opening round.
This is the first year the championship has hit the road, with the first two editions being contested at Pinehurst No. 6 in North Carolina. It’s also the first year players had to qualify to get into the event, with six qualifiers taking place across the country.
The field is spread across eight categories: Upper Limb Impairment, Intellectual Impairment, Lower Limb Impairment, Multiple Limb Amputee, Neurological Impairment, Seated Players, Short Stature and Vision Impairment.
