Former champion Graeme McDowell secured a return to the US Open 16 years after his victory at Pebble Beach by coming through a 36-hole qualifier in Dallas, while Nathan Kimsey will make his debut at Shinnecock Hill.
The Northern Irishman shot back-to-back rounds of 69 at Dallas Athletic Club to finish in a share of fifth place, with the top nine players securing a ticket to Shinnecock Hills next month.
The 46-year-old will be playing his first major since his 10-year exemption for winning the 2010 US Open expired six years ago.
Englishman Nathan Kimsey tied the course record at Walton Heath after opening with a four under 68 on the Old Course, firing six birdies and two eagles during his bogey-free final round on the New Course to reach 14 under par after 36 holes.
The 33-year-old will now make his US Open debut at Shinnecock Hills from June 18-21.
"I'm obviously over the moon. You come to these qualifier events, and you have to play some good golf on one day. A lot of the time you end up walking away disappointed but it's great to play great golf and grab a spot at the US Open."
American Peter Uihlein topped the leaderboard on nine under to secure his first major appearance since 2018, with former Open runner-up Tom Kim a shot further back.
Former Masters champion Garcia missed out on a six-man play-off for the final spot by two shots after finishing on one under, while England's Danny Willett and Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin both withdrew.
LIV Golf players, former major champions and past Ryder Cup stars were among those in action across two qualifying sites, one at Dallas Country Club in Texas and one at Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey.
Seven places were available in England and nine in Dallas across the 36-hole tournaments, with final qualifying events also being held in Japan (May 25) and 10 more in the United States on June 8 - dubbed 'golf's longest day' - to earn spots in the third men's major of the year.
Scottie Scheffler will arrive at this year's US Open with the opportunity to complete the career Grand Slam at Shinnecock Hills, live from June 18-21 on Your Site Golf, while JJ Spaun returns as defending champion after last year's two-shot victory.
The top 60 in the Official World Rankings on May 18 are exempt into this US Open, confirming world No 49 Adam Scott his place in the field and a 100th consecutive major appearance.
Scott's streak began at The Open in 2001 and secured his spot with a tied-fourth finish at the Cadillac Championship earlier this month. It marks the longest major streak since Jack Nicklaus played in 146 in a row from The Masters in 1962 to the 1998 US Open.
Alex Smalley - joint runner-up at the PGA Championship - jumped to world No 42 and secured his place, while Matti Schmid (tied-fourth) earned one of five exemptions awarded to leading players in the FedExCup standings who are not already exempt.
There are 25 exemption categories for players to get into the 156-player field, including pathways via the PGA Tour, DP World Tour's Race to Dubai, the LIV Golf League, the Korn Ferry Tour, the US Senior Open and the amateur game. The full list is available .
