Apart from the very public exception of Talor Gooch, the overwhelming majority of LIV Golf players are trying to book their spot in the US Open by going through Final Qualifying.
Nine players in the LIV Golf League have already qualified for the third men's Major of the season at Pinehurst in June through different criteria.
They're all hoping to join Tiger Woods at the US Open - after the three-time champion was given a special exemption by the USGA.
Former champions Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Martin Kaymer all hold exemptions, and are joined by Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk.
And 35 others are looking to join them at the US Open after entering the tough 36-hole Final Qualifying events being held on 20 May and 3 June.
Jason Kokrak and former US Open champion Graeme McDowell confirmed their intention to attempt to qualify at the same press conference Gooch emphatically said he was not.
Gooch did not elaborate as to why, but he's among the vast minority with several other big names having a go at qualifying, including Sergio Garcia who came through qualifying to make it to last year's US Open at LA Country Club.
Garcia is again giving it a go, alongside fellow former Masters champions Patrick Reed and Charl Schwartzel and former Open winner Henrik Stenson.
Lee Westwood will also attempt to qualify but his fellow Majesticks co-captain Ian Poulter is among the big names not entering.
Gooch is the headliner and he's joined by two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, Open winner Louis Oosthuizen and the likes of Paul Casey, Pat Perez and Anthony Kim.
