The USGA announced the qualifying sites for the 81st U.S. Women’s Open Championship Presented by Ally set for June 4-7 at The Riviera Country Club, in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
None of the 26 qualifiers will be held in Alabama. Qualifying will take place over 36 holes across the U.S., and in Canada, Japan and England between April 20 and May 13. The online entry application is open and will continue through Wednesday, April 1, at 4 p.m. CDT
Of the 17 states that will host a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier, California will host the most with four, followed by Florida (3) and Texas (2).
