During the USGA’s very long annual press conference, executive director Mike Whan revealed two interesting items: a direct pathway for leading LIV golfers into future US Open fields and paying amateurs who make the cut are both on the consideration table.

Coming to terms with the reality that LIV Golf doesn’t seem to be going away in the near future, Whan said that the USGA will discuss the possibility of adding some kind of exemptions for leading LIV golfers into the 2025 U.S. Open.
