Photos: 2024 U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine National Golf Club

CHASKA, Minn. — The best men’s amateurs are in Minnesota for the greatest amateur championship in the world.

The 2024 U.S. Amateur kicked off Monday at Hazeltine National Golf Club and Chaska Town Course. There are 312 players in the field for stroke play, but only 64 will make match play, which begins Wednesday at Hazeltine, site of the 2016 and 2029 Ryder Cups.

Last year, Nick Dunlap defeated Neal Shipley 4 and 3 at Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado to become only the second person ever to win a U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur, joining Tiger Woods.

Here’s a look at some of the best photos from the U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine National.
