The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced the eight qualifying sites for the 4th U.S. Adaptive Open Championship, which will be contested at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md., on July 7-9.


Conducted over 18 holes, qualifiers will be held at eight sites across the United States between Apr. 23 and May 28. They will be managed by Allied Golf Associations (AGAs). This year’s championship will be the second year to feature a qualifying method. In its first two years, the championship field was determined largely by Handicap Index®.

The championship is contested over 54 holes of stroke play. Multiple sets of tees are utilized.
