USGA Performance Form

The USGA’s performance policy is designed to ensure that only those players truly capable of competing at a national championship level are participating in qualifying. The goal of USGA qualifying is to provide a pathway for players to earn a spot and compete for a national championship. Players who are not yet capable of competing at a national championship level are encouraged to play in their local, state and regional events prior to competing in a USGA qualifier.
