Did Cameron Davis earn a The Open Championship 2024 invite with the Rocket Mortgage Classic win? All you need to know

Cameron Davis earned an exemption to compete in the Masters and PGA Championship for 2025 with his victory at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. However, he will probably miss out on this year's Open Championship.

Cameron Davis secured an incredible victory at the recently concluded Rocket Mortgage Classic, defeating Akshay Bhatia, Aaron Rai, Min Woo Lee, and Davis Thompson. He jumped 29 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings, reaching the 38th position.

However, according to the qualification criteria of the Open Championship, only players in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings as of week 21 are eligible to compete in the Major. Last week was the 26th week in the OWGR calendar.

Moreover, the National Golf Club has released the list of players who qualified for the upcoming Major, and it does not include Cameron Davis. The 2024 Open Championship is scheduled to take place later this month from July 18 to 21 at Royal Troon. It will feature a regular field including several LIV golfers, PGA Tour players, DP World Tour players, amateur golfers, and other golfers who qualify through Open qualification.

Here are the qualification criteria for the 2024 Open Championship:
