2021 USGA Qualifiers
Player Account Creation
Each player must now create a single user account prior to applying to any championship application. Parents/guardians or agents can now manage accounts on behalf of a minor or players that they manage. The instructions on how to create an account are located here, and players may also visit the USGA Apply to Play FAQ section. All championship entry forms and Apply to Play links will be posted to https://champ-admin.usga.org/
Waiting List Information
New for 2021, when a Qualifying location has met capacity, players may sign up on a waitlist and also select up to three Alternate Qualifying Sites. If the original waitlist site becomes available prior to the close of entries, the player will be assigned to that site and charged the entry fee. If the original waitlist site is full at the close of entries, the player will be assigned to their 1st Alternate Qualifying Site dependent on availability. If the 1st Alternate Qualifying Site is full at the close of entries, the player will be assigned to their 2nd Alternate Qualifying Site dependent on availability and so on. If all Alternate Qualifying Sites are full at the close of entries, the application will be withdrawn. Priority of each list will be based on the date of receipt of entry application. The fee to join a waitlist for a qualifying location is $10 and is non-refundable.
Players can transfer their Waitlist, Alternate Qualifying Sites or transfer into a site with availability prior to the close of entries by accessing the championship specific View Qualifying Sites pop out on the Apply to Play page. Players are limited to two transfers per championship. There are no waiting lists for qualifying sites after the close of entries.
