Generally, the golfers would need to wait until the authority accepts their application to know whether they would play or not. However, since Woods had won the 2019 Masters and Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship, they are already qualified to take part in the tournament. The 2022 U. S. Open will be the first time Mickelson will play in a tournament since his controversial comments against the Tour.
According to the U.S. Open official website, many golfers, including the defending champion Jon Rahm, are exempted from the qualifying round. The players who have won the championships added on the website, like U. S. Senior Open, U. S. Amateur, Masters, and PGA Championship, are eligible for it.
