Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into the 2024 US Senior Open, and let me tell you, getting a handle on the players roster was quite a journey. It’s not like they just hand you a neat list on a silver platter, you know?
First off, I started by hitting up the usual suspects – the official USGA website. I figured, “Hey, that’s the logical place to start, right?” Well, they had some info, but it was all spread out. You had to click around a bunch, check different sections. It wasn’t exactly user-friendly, if I’m being honest.
Then I thought, “Maybe some of the big sports news sites will have a consolidated list.” So, I browsed through a few of those. They had articles talking about some of the big names, like, you know, your Bernhard Langers and your Ernie Elses. But a full roster? Nope. It was frustrating!
Digging Deeper
So I decided to get a little more creative. I started searching for individual player announcements. A lot of these guys have their own websites or are active on social media. I figured if they were playing, they’d probably be shouting it from the rooftops. That was a bit of a wild goose chase, I gotta say. Lots of scrolling, lots of checking, but I did manage to piece together a few more names that way.
Then I remembered seeing something about qualifying rounds. “Aha!” I thought. “Maybe there’s a list of qualifiers somewhere.” And that’s where things started to get interesting. I found some regional golf association websites that had results from these qualifying events. It was like striking gold! Slowly but surely, I started to build a more complete picture of who was actually going to be playing.
Putting It All Together
After hours of digging and cross-referencing, I finally managed to put together a pretty solid list. It wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that. But it was kind of rewarding, in a weird way. Like solving a puzzle. I mean, I probably could have just waited for someone else to do it, but where’s the fun in that, right?
- Started with the official USGA website – found some info but scattered.
- Tried major sports news sites – got big names, but no full roster.
- Searched for individual player announcements – tedious but added a few names.
- Found qualifying round results on regional golf association websites – this was key!
- Compiled a comprehensive list after much effort.
Anyway, that’s my story of how I tackled the 2024 US Senior Open players roster. It wasn’t a straightforward process, but I got there in the end. Maybe this will help some of you out there who are also trying to figure out who’s playing. Good luck!
