The 2026 US Senior Open field is set with the passing of the PGA Tour tournament entry deadline. The field is set for this USGA-run major champonship event, played at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, from July 2-5, 2026.

The US Senior Open field is headlined by the likes of Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson, Ernie Els and more.

This is set to be a 156-player field is played out over four days, with this event marking the third major tournament of the 2026 PGA Tour Champions schedule.

The tournament is being played in its originally intended slot, with this being the USGA's national championship for players over 50 years old, going to the legendary Ohio club that was home to Jack Nicklaus in his youth.

We do not have Monday qualifiers for this event, which will be played Thursday though Sunday. Approximately one-fourth of the field was decided via final qualifying events.

The US Senior Open alternate list as already been set, though it is a bit of a secret who are currently sitting as the first two players on the list after a handful of players were added on Sunday night.
