Dustin Johnson Among Big Names Confirmed For Open Final Qualifying
Open Final Qualifying draws are out for the four sites in England and Scotland next week - and the fields are stacked
A host of big names, Major winners and Tour stars will try and make their way into The 2026 Open on Tuesday when Final Qualifying takes place across four links venues in England and Scotland.
The four sites will each offer five spots for Royal Birkdale, with 36-hole qualifiers taking place at Burnham and Berrow, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire in England as well as Dundonald Links in Scotland.
The headline name in the draws is that of Dustin Johnson, the former World No.1 and two-time Major winner who has played in every single Major since the 2017 Masters - when he had to withdraw after injuring his back from falling down the stairs.
DJ, who has made the cut in his last four Majors, will attempt to make it through at Dundonald Links in Scotland.
Other notable names teeing it up across the UK include Sahith Theegala (Burnham and Berrow), Sergio Garcia (West Lancs) and Wesley and George Bryan (West Lancs).
A large number of other LIV Golfers are lined up including Branden Grace, Dean Burmester, David Puig, Josele Ballester, Anirban Lahiri, Thomas Detry, Caleb Surratt and Peter Uihlein.
