The US Open will become the first major to offer exemptions to LIV Golf players, introducing new qualification criteria for them to compete in the championship, the USGA announced on Wednesday.

The USGA unveiled a new exemption category for LIV golfers to earn spots at the U.S. Open but it does include a possible catch.

As a new season begins in Riyadh, LIV Golf keeps moving toward the mainstream with broader acceptance from sponsors, broadcasters and the U.S. Open.
