Louis Brown, 61, of Marietta, Georgia, defeated Dan Sullivan, 57, of Pasadena, California, to claim the 2024 U.S. Senior Amateur title.

By virtue of reaching the final, both golfers earned entries into the 2024 U.S. Mid-Amateur at Kinloch Golf Club, in Virginia, the 2025 U.S. Senior Open at The Broadmoor, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the 2025 U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

Brown is the fifth player from Georgia to win the Frederick L. Dold Trophy. He took the final 4 and 3 in the 18-hole match. He first played a USGA event in the 1981 U.S. Junior Amateur.

“I haven’t done everything I wanted to do in golf, but I’ve won some tournaments,” said Brown, who was the Australian Tour’s Rookie of the Year in 1989. “I’ve won some stuff in Georgia that’s pretty meaningful but the one thing that I thought would be huge for me would be to win a USGA event, and this was the only one.”

What the U.S. Senior Amateur champion gets:

  • A gold medal

  • Possession of the Frederick L. Dold Trophy for one year

  • Exemptions into the next 10 U.S. Senior Amateur Championships

  • Exemption into the 2025 U.S. Senior Open Championship

  • Exemptions into the 2024 and 2025 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championships

  • Exemptions into the 2025 and 2026 U.S. Amateur Championships

  • Exemption from local qualifying for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont  Country Club

The 2025 U.S. Senior Amateur will be held at Biltmore Forest Country Club, in Asheville, North Carolina.
