The 2020 US Open field is getting closer to set with the final deadline to make the field coming with the conclusion of the 2020 Tour Championship.
The year's second major is played at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, NY.
There will be 144 players in the competition, which is 12 fewer than normal.
Normally, the USGA strives to have half the field enter through exemptions and half through qualifying. However, with the pandemic, the USGA chose to have an all-exempt field for the first time in nearly a century.
Among those entering the field include Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas and defending champion Gary Woodland.
