Prominent players who failed to qualify for The Open Championship

Several top players failed in their attempt to reach The Open Championship through open qualifying. One of the most striking cases is that of Sergio Garcia, who fell two strokes short of qualifying in the West Lancashire tournament.

In the same qualifier, LIV Golf players Carlos Ortiz and Kieran Vincent, as well as DP World Tour player Richard Mansell, also missed out.

In Royal Cinque Ports, Graeme McDowell, Eugenio Chacarra, and Thomas Detry were unlucky, while in Burnham & Berrow, Jinichiro Kozuma missed out on a ticket.

The Open Championship field will comprise 156 players. With 135 spots already filled, some through exemptions and others through earlier qualifiers, this week's final qualifying tournaments added 16 more players to the field.

This leaves just five spots remaining, which will be awarded at the John Deere Classic, the last PGA Tour event offering qualifiers for the final major of the season.
