A 12-man Last Chance Qualifying invitational event will be played over two rounds of nine holes at Royal Birkdale G.C. on Monday 13th July 2026. Amateur Championship runner-up Matt MOLONEY (USA) has secured a place in this competition. Whilst yet to be confirmed Sam EASTERBROOK (ENG), Frazer JONES (ENG) and Connor GRAHAM (SCO) may also receive invitations too as they lost in a play-off or finished within 1-shot of the qualifiers in Final Qualifying.

As the 2025 Mark H. McCormack Medal (WAGR #1) winner Jackson KOIVUN (USA) was also exempt but has chosen to turn pro after the U.S. Open Championship and is therefore now ineligible under this category.

*The Open Championship Amateur Series was introduced by The R&A in 2023. It offers an exemption to the player who gains the most WAGR points in the St. Andrews Links Trophy, the Amateur Championship and the European Amateur Championship events (as long as they didn’t win the Amateur or European Amateur Championships which meant they were already exempt).

Introduction

156 players will contest the 154th Open Championship which will be played at Royal Birkdale G.C. on 16-19 July 2026.
