🏆 2026 U.S. Senior Open Final 156-Player Field Hub
2026 U.S. Senior Open Field Overview
The U.S. Senior Open is scheduled for July 2-5, 2026 at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. Scioto is a Donald Ross course with deep USGA history and is strongly tied to Jack Nicklaus, who learned the game there under Jack Grout.
This page has now moved out of early exempt-player tracker mode and final-week working-board mode. Local qualifying is complete, final qualifying is complete, the championship player-card field is active, and CaddyBytes has updated the page to the completed 156-player alpha field board for tournament week at Scioto.
Field status: the 2026 U.S. Senior Open field is now listed as a completed 156-player field. CaddyBytes now treats this as a final 156-player tournament-week field page, with any remaining maintenance limited to tee times, withdrawals, scoring status, and Round 1 notes once championship play begins.
