Want to play in the 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club? Here are all the USGA qualifying sites for 2023

Feeling lucky? Here’s your shot at the U.S. Open.

On Monday, the United States Golf Association announced the local and final qualifying sites for the 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, June 15-18, 2023.

Online player registration begins on Wednesday, Feb. 22, at champs.usga.org and will be open through Wednesday, April 12.

Players must have a Handicap Index not exceeding 1.4, or be a professional.

There are 14 local qualifying sites in California, the most of any state. Florida will host 13 local qualifiers.

There will be 109 local qualifying sites across not only the United States but also Canada from April 17 to May 22. For the 44th consecutive year Illini Country Club, in Springfield, Illinois, will host a U.S. Open qualifier, while Riverton Country Club in Riverton, Wyoming, and Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert, California, will host local qualifying for the 25th and 22nd years, respectively.

Players who advance from the 18-hole qualifier join a group of locally exempt players for the 36-hole final qualifying in England (May 16), Japan (May 22) and Canada (June 5). The United States will host 10 final qualifiers, one on May 22 and nine on June 5.

The USGA accepted 9,265 entries for last year’s championship at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The record of 10,127 entries was set ahead of the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

“The U.S. Open provides thousands of professional and amateur golfers with diverse backgrounds from around the world the opportunity to earn a place in the championship through local and final qualifying,” said USGA Chief Championships Officer John Bodenhamer via a release. “Allied Golf Associations in the United States, as well as groups in Europe, Canada and Japan, work together to provide an avenue to The Los Angeles Country Club, where the world’s greatest players will compete for our national championship.”

Here’s the full list of sites, except for one Florida host that is still to be determined.

USGA announces applications are open for Pathways Internship at 123rd U.S. Open

The program introduces individuals from underrepresented communities to careers in golf.

The United States Golf Association has opened applications for its Pathways Internship program at the 123rd U.S. Open at The Los Angeles Country Club.

The program is part of the USGA’s ongoing effort to introduce individuals from underrepresented communities to careers in golf.

The 10-day program is scheduled for June 10-19, 2023, and will provide 20 college and graduate students with exposure to multiple facets of the golf industry while being able to see the operations of a major championship first hand. Those interested can apply here through Feb. 10, 2023.

Launched as the Lee Elder Internship by The Country Club at the 2022 U.S. Open in Brookline, Massachusetts, the internship will be held annually throughout the week of the U.S. Open as part of the USGA’s long-term commitment to creating more accessible pathways for all who are interested in pursuing careers in golf.

The Pathways program’s curriculum include a series of classroom-style instructional sessions paired with job shadowing and on-site training that covers all aspects of the championship, as well as networking opportunities with local and national leaders from the golf industry and beyond. The USGA will cover the program’s costs, including travel expenses and accommodations for all interns.

The 2022 inaugural class of the program included an international cohort of students from 22 institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other accredited universities across the United States with many having little to no experience with the game. Leveraging connections and leadership skills developed through the program, alumni have advanced to full-time internships at sports organizations, including the USGA, and serve as leaders within their universities.
