The USGA has announced that Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland will be the host site of their 4th U.S. Adaptive Open Championship, set to be held July 7-9, 2025 and the 2026 5th U.S. Adaptive Open July 6-8, 2026.
In 2024 the USGA announced a new qualifying model for the U.S. Adaptive Open similar to the model used for other major Championships. (This is different from the U.S. Adaptive Open’s first two years, when the championship field was determined largely by Handicap Index®.)

Eligibility for New Golfers with Intellectual Impairment:
Note this event follows Paralympic classification for Intellectual Disability so is only open to those with an IQ of 75 or lower (Virtus II1 & II2). This includes those with Autism if they have an IQ of 75 or lower (Autism with ID).
*Athletes with ‘high functioning’ Autism (Virtus II-3 Autism without ID) are not eligible since their IQ is higher than 75. We encourage you to reach out so we can share other emerging opportunities for this group.
To lean more and apply for eligibility visit our Golf page for “Three Steps to Become Eligible to Compete as a WR4GD World Ranked Player with Intellectual Impairment”
*New players with intellectual impairment should apply to Athletes Without Limits as early as possible (we suggest at least 8 weeks prior to USGA registration opening) to confirm International level Virtus II1 eligibility in time to get your WR4GD Pass for the event. Due to the time it takes for us to hear back confirmation from the Virtus International Eligibility Committee, it’s possible players who have not already submitted an application and all required documentation to Athletes Without Limits by the time 2025 USGA registration opens on Feb 11 may not receive confirmation in time before the the 2025 registration closing date of April 9th (5pm Eastern).
