Additional Information
The exemption cutoff date for all USGA Championships will be eight (8) days prior to the first day of the Championship proper. Eight days is the Sunday before advance week for these four Championships, which all start on a Monday.
- Ex) The 2026 U.S. Amateur Championship will begin on August 10. The cutoff date for state amateur exemptions to be claimed in 2026 will be August 2. All state amateurs where the intended conclusion is on August 2nd or earlier will receive an exemption to the 2026 Championship. All state amateurs with an intended finish of August 3rd or later will have their champions receive their exemption into the 2027 Championship.
Clarification on how WAGR ranking thresholds were determined
In order to determine the WAGR event Power thresholds for each championship, a considerable amount of research was conducted to assess the correlation between State/AGA amateur championships and qualifying. Ultimately, the quality and strength of players receiving an exemption through the new qualifying model needed to reflect the quality and strength of players that previously earned a spot through qualifying. In looking at the historical event Power data across all events and the quality of champions produced at these events, a corresponding event Power threshold was determined that will provide a large number of State/AGA championships with an exemption while also ensuring that each respective USGA championship has the strongest field possible within their respective demographic.
