🏌️♂️Who Qualified for the 2025 Golf Majors and Signature Events?
As the dust settles from the Genesis Scottish Open, the field for the 2025 major championships and PGA TOUR Signature Events is nearly complete. 🏆 Chris Gotterup's impressive win has shaken up the final list of participants, especially for The Open Championship, and added new energy to the coming season.
Chris Gotterup, at just 25 years old, pulled off a clutch victory at the Genesis Scottish Open, outpacing big names like Rory McIlroy and Marco Penge. With this win, Gotterup not only claimed his second PGA TOUR title but also secured a place in:
-
The Open Championship 2025
-
THE PLAYERS Championship
-
The Masters
-
The PGA Championship
-
The Sentry
This win extends his TOUR membership through 2027 — a major leap for the young talent. ✨
Held at Royal Portrush from July 17–20, The Open Championship now has its 156-player field locked in. Along with Gotterup, Nicolai Højgaard (T4) and Matti Schmid (T17) earned their spots through high finishes at the Scottish Open.
Additionally, Si Woo Kim joins the field after replacing Ernie Els, who withdrew. This will mark Kim’s seventh appearance at The Open.
In another dramatic Sunday moment, William Mouw came from behind to win the ISCO Championship with a bogey-free 9-under 61 — one of the best rounds of the season. His win guarantees:
-
PGA TOUR membership through 2027
-
Spots in THE PLAYERS, The Sentry, and the PGA Championship 2026
(Note: The Masters does not invite winners of Additional Events.)
With dozens of world-class golfers securing their positions, some of the most notable names include:
-
Rory McIlroy
-
Brooks Koepka
-
Scottie Scheffler
-
Jon Rahm
-
Jordan Spieth
-
Hideki Matsuyama
-
Justin Thomas

And many more — including amateurs who must remain eligible by status to compete. The OWGR rankings as of July 6 were used to determine alternate positions.
With all major fields nearly finalized, fans can now look forward to a thrilling 2025 season packed with drama, talent, and unforgettable golf moments.
