Overview

  • USGA added nearly 150 yards with new tees and restored original green sizes, expanding putting surfaces by about 15 percent and creating additional hole locations.
  • Heavy spring rains have left the rough up to five inches deep, and officials expect green speeds between 12 and 14.5 on the Stimpmeter.
  • Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau has voiced confidence in his “new power” as he bids for consecutive U.S. Open titles.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler arrives fresh off a PGA Championship victory, while Rory McIlroy looks to rebound after a Masters win followed by a sluggish showing at Quail Hollow.
  • The 125th U.S. Open runs June 12–15 at Oakmont, which will host the championship for a record 10th time.
