The 16-year-old was given the merit for the event set for July 22-27 because of his top 400 ranking in the world amateur rankings.
He is now ranked 285 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR), from 400 as well as 20th in the AJGA Polo Ranking (10th in his age division).
Crocker, who was the best amateur at the prestigious Zimbabwe Open, saw his ratings improve immensely.
The United States-based teenage sensation profited hugely after his eye-catching performance at the 2013 Golden Pilsener Zimbabwe Open.
His impact not only endeared him to Zimbabwe golf fans but he also leapt in both junior and amateur rankings.
The number of qualifying spots is determined by the quality and quantity of the field at each of the 11 sites around the US.
In April, Crocker, who is the son of former Zimbabwe Test cricketer Gary Crocker, carded rounds of 69, 74, 72 and 73 for a total 288 to finish as the best placed amateur at the Golden Pilsener Zimbabwe Open on a respectable position 31.
Should Crocker continue with his fine form, he is likely to follow in the footsteps of local legends such as former world number one Nick Price and Tony Johnstone.
The talented young player is also currently a front runner to represent Zimbabwe in the second edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, from August 16-28 next year.
Meanwhile Ryan Cairns will be out to defend his Vodacom of origins title which tees off at Simo Golf Estate.
