There is a maximum of 10 players on a qualifying site waiting list at any given time.Players do not pick any alternate sites when signing up for a waiting list, and players may only be on one waiting list.   Players who are on a waiting list are not permitted to concurrently sign up for an open qualifying site (i.e. they need to decide whether they want to take the risk of being on a waiting list and not getting in).   Players may remove themselves from the waiting list at any given time, or, prior to the close of entries, transfer to a site with availability. Following the close of entries, players may not sign up for a waiting list, transfer between waiting lists or transfer to another qualifying site.   Up until three (3) days prior to the qualifier, if the qualifying site becomes available due to a withdrawal, the player will be automatically assigned to that site and charged the appropriate entry fee.If their credit card is declined, they will have 24 hours to complete payment or their spot will be forfeited.   The player will be notified via email that he has been accepted to the qualifying site. If this occurs after the close of entries, the AGA will provide the appropriate player information and tee time (if available).   Once it is within 3 days (72 hours) of the qualifier, there will not be any replacements of withdrawn players.Any players still on a waiting list will be withdrawn.   Hard Card Click Here to view the 2026 USGA hard card.   Pace of Play Policy   Schedule of Events - The practice area will open 1 hour before the first tee time. - Starting times from at 7:30 - 9:20 a.m. and 12:20 - 1:30 p.m. off #1 and #10 tee. - Please arrive to the first tee 10 minutes before your scheduled tee time ready to play.   Format An individual stroke play competition, in which each player competes against all other players in the field.
