Andy Ogletree

The winner of the 2019 US Amateur title and part of the victorious Walker Cup team at Royal Liverpool shortly afterwards.

Ogletree was the low amateur in finishing joint 34th at The Masters the following April, but by turning professional in the wake of that he lost his Open exemption.

Now makes his debut in the Championship off the Federation Ranking list at the end of May, a new category offering five spots at Royal Troon.

He had hip surgery in 2021, but the following season joined LIV Golf, which gave him access to the Asian Tour’s international series of events.

Ogletree won by four strokes in Egypt with a closing 62, then last year added further victories by three in Qatar and by seven over Ian Poulter at Close House in Northumberland.

It made him their Order of Merit champion and Asian Tour Player of the Year. He made his PGA Championship debut this May.
