The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced tee times for the first two rounds of the 2024 U.S. Senior Open Championship, Thursday (June 27) and Friday (June 28), at 7,024-yard, par-70 Newport (R.I.) Country Club.

The U.S. Senior Open is a 72-hole, stroke-play competition. A field of 156 players will play 18 holes of stroke play on June 27 and 28, after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties. Those players making the cut will play 18 holes on June 29 and 30.

If there is a tie upon the completion of 72 holes, a two-hole aggregate playoff will immediately follow. If this playoff results in a tie, the tied players will immediately continue to playoff hole-by-hole until the winner is determined.

Here are the tee times for the 19 amateurs in the field, including Bob Royak, the No. 1 player in the AmateurGolf.com Senior Rankings.

ABOUT THE U.S. Senior Open

The U.S. Senior Open is one of 14 national championships conducted by the USGA. Open to amateurs and professionals who have reached their 50th birthday as of the first day of the championship.

The Senior Open was first played in 1980 with a purse of, get this, just $100,000. Roberto Vincenzo of Argentina was the inaugural champion (winning $20,000), and Arnold Palmer was a popular winner the following year in 1981 at Oakland Hills.
