  Someone from WGT has to manually verify all the scores and add us in individually. Just give it a few hours.

  Strange, I qualified and can now play the first round, but no 2,000cr award for qualifying.  I see others obviously got theirs.

  Why is that?

  Might be an error on WGT's end. Hopefully gets fixed.

  Yes, in the extended version of the rules it says: " QUALIFIER PRIZES: There are 156* Qualifier Prizes. Each Qualifying Entrant who is eligible to win a prize will receive two-thousand (2,000) WGT Credits"

  So 156 exactly, not top 156 and ties

  Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier Prizes

  One random Sweepstakes player will win the Grand Prize trip to the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York where you and a friend will be the special guests of the USGA and a $500 e-giftcard to the USGA store. In addition, the top 156 scores (plus ties) will each receive 2,000 WGT Credits, plus those players will advance to the Virtual U.S. Open Championship rounds where the top score will win a second Grand Prize trip for two to the 2018 U.S. Open. See rules for details.
