With the Course Championships and Cleveland Am Qualifying Tournaments slated to start this coming weekend, Cleveland Metroparks Golf has released a list of the 2020 Cleveland Amateur Exemptions as of July 1st.
This list serves as a reminder to the exempt players that they already have access to the Championship proper, but also so that players in each Qualifier field will know which players won’t be counted toward the total of earned spots.
