Golf’s Longest Day, as the Monday before U.S. Open week is known, is Monday, June 5, with 10 different final qualifying sites hosting 36-hole gauntlets that offer a handful of spots into next week’s U.S. Open. This year, that means something different than ever before, as LIV Golf players who might have typically already been exempt in the past are competing for the final few spots in the field. 

What does it all add up to? Fourteen LIV-ers competing in eight different qualifiers across the country Monday. That comes in addition to three others who competed in the Texas qualifier two weeks ago. Sergio Garcia was the lone LIV player who qualified from that event, after shooting a pair of 66s, while Graeme McDowell started hot but finished poorly and missed the playoff for the final spot by just one shot.

As for the rest of the LIV players, here’s how they have fared. This post will be updated throughout the day as scores roll in.
