The leading three players not already exempt who make the cut will earn places in the final Major Championship of 2025.

In the event of a tie for a qualifying place, the player with the higher ranking in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) at the beginning of the week commencing November 25th will be awarded a place.

Players in the ISPS HANDA Australian Open field who are already exempt:

Joaquin Niemann
Cameron Smith
Jordan Smith

In a change to previous qualifying criteria, the place of a successful qualifier who later becomes exempt via another category will not pass to the next non-exempt golfer from that Open Qualifying Series event.

The R&A will publish the full schedule for the Open Qualifying Series and list of exemptions for The 153rd Open early in 2025.
