The exemptions will go to the lowest scoring male and female players who haven’t previously played the tournament, which will take place in September at Pebble Beach.
Based on their play at National Championship, two players will also be awarded spots in the PGA TOUR’s Pathways to Progression program, which was created to help increase diversity at golf’s highest levels. The program helps golfers from traditionally underserved or underrepresented backgrounds prepare to play at the collegiate level.
