​Aldrich Potgieter Earns Open Championship Spot After Louis Oosthuizen Withdraws

Posted : 14 July 2026

South African golfer Aldrich Potgieter has been added to the field for the 154th Open Championship after 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen withdrew with a back injury.

Potgieter, who narrowly missed qualification in Monday's last-chance qualifier, will now make his way into the tournament as the first alternate.

Oosthuizen also pulled out of next week's LIV Golf UK event, saying his priority is recovering fully before returning to competition.
