This page lists the criteria used to determine the field for the 2023 Open Championship and the players who qualified.
The Open Championship field is made up of 156 players, who gained entry through various exemption criteria and qualifying tournaments.[a] The criteria included past Open champions, recent major winners, top ranked players in the world rankings and from the leading world tours, and winners and high finishers from various designated tournaments, including the Open Qualifying Series; the winners of designated amateur events, including The Amateur Championship and U.S. Amateur, also gained exemption provided they remain an amateur. Anyone not qualifying via exemption, and had a handicap of 0.4 or lower, can gain entry through regional and final qualifying events.[1]
Most exemption criteria remained unchanged from previous years; changes included the removal of exemptions for recent Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup players,[2] and a new exemption for amateur golfers.[3]
