I would go with the US Open. The Masters gets the big hype on TV so many golfers think it's the best. I like the US Open because it allows the average Joe to bust his butt and play with the Big Boys. Here is how you have to qualify for the Maters:
• Masters Tournament Champions (Lifetime)
• US Open Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
• British Open Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
• PGA Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
• Winners of The Players Championship (Three years)
• Current US Amateur Champion (6-A) (Honorary, non-competing after 1 year) and the runner-up to the current US Amateur Champion
• Current British Amateur Champion (Honorary, non-competing after 1 year)
• Current Asian Amateur Champion
• Current US Amateur Public Links Champion
• Current US Mid-Amateur Champion
• The first 16 players, including ties, in the previous year's Masters Tournament
• The first 8 players, including ties, in the previous year's US Open Championship
• The first 4 players, including ties, in the previous year's British Open Championship
• The first 4 players, including ties, in the previous year's PGA Championship
• The 30 leaders on the Final Official PGA Tour Money List for the previous calendar year
• Winners of PGA Tour events that award a full-point allocation for the season-ending Tour Championship, from previous Masters to current Masters
• Those qualifying for the previous year's season-ending Tour Championship
• The 50 leaders on the Final Official World Golf Ranking for the previous calendar year
• The 50 leaders on the Official World Golf Ranking published during the week prior to the current Masters Tournament
And now for the US Open:
Any professional golfer, or any amateur with a USGA men's handicap index of 1.4 or lower, can attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open golf tournament.The qualifying process is this: Enter a local qualifier. If you finish high enough, advance to a sectional qualifier. If you finish high enough, advance into the U.S. Open.
You gotta love this game!!!!!
