The stage is set, and the players are ready for the 124th U.S. Amateur Championship. On August 12th and 13th, 312 talented golfers will tee off at Hazeltine National Golf Club and Chaska Town Course in Minnesota, trying to mark their territory on the course. With exceptional amateurs competing to win the trophy, the tournament is surely going to be exciting.

The tee timings and pairings were released recently on the USGA website, and let’s just say, the blend of young golfers is quite enticing this time. The first round will be inaugurated by Jacob Pedersen, Palmer Jackson, and Josemaria Gutierrez at 08:00 a.m. ET. But the pairing, which the fans are most excited about, doesn’t take off until 10:01 a.m. This pairing features PGA Pro John Daly’s son, John Daly II, alongside Tyson Shelley and Colin Summers.

Daly II is a 21-year-old golfer who recently turned professional and played the Compliance Solutions Championship for his professional debut. He competed with strategy perhaps and made a score of 4 over par, only to miss the cut. Maybe he can change that in the upcoming competition.

The first two days will feature 36 holes of stroke play. These days will build a foundation for the young golfers to showcase their skills and compete for a place among the top 64 scorers. As the golf tournament nears its end, the remaining players will compete in six rounds of head-to-head matches on August 14th. But that’s not all; this is where things get interesting. The last day of the tournament, August 18th, will conclude with a 36-hole championship, starting at 08:15 a.m. ET.

What’s at stake at the U.S. Amateur Championship in 2024?

This tournament is more than just a competition; it’s a launching pad for young golfers to make their mark on the sport. But what are they going to get apart from the obvious fun? Well, the stakes are high at the 2024 U.S. Amateur Championship, with the winner securing something more valuable than prize money. Alongside the classic U.S. Amateur Trophy, the winner will also get the chance to compete in the 2025 U.S. Open Championship. That’s not all; the winner can also get an invitation to the 2025 Masters Tournament.
