The Open has announced a place for one LIV Golf League player at this year's Championship at Royal Portrush.
The leading player not already exempt in the top five of the Saudi-funded breakaway's standings, following the completion of LIV Golf Dallas at the end of June, will be awarded the spot.
The announcement follows the US Open, which takes place in mid-June, confirming it is offering an exemption to one leading LIV player.
R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said: "The Open is a global championship for the best men's golfers and each year we review our exemptions to ensure that we offer pathways into the Championship based on results achieved on the leading professional tours.
"We acknowledge that players competing in LIV Golf should also have the opportunity to secure places in The Open through its individual season standings as well as existing pathways.
"We are proud to offer a wide range of opportunities to qualify globally and look forward to seeing which golfers will emerge to take their place at Royal Portrush in July."
The 153rd Open takes place on the Dunluce Course from July 17-20
