Where is the U.S. Open being played?

Built in the late 1800s, The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States. This will be the fourth time it has hosted the U.S. Open, the last being in 1988 when Curtis Strange won in a playoff over Nick Faldo. The Country Club also hosted the 1999 Ryder Cup, when the United States surged past Europe on Sunday to win, and the 2013 U.S. Amateur, which was won by Matthew Fitzpatrick (who’s in this year’s U.S. Open field) and featured a number of other players you’ll see this week, including Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau. A par 70 measuring 7,254 yards, The Country Club will have an air of mystery, considering the renovations that have been done since it last was in the global spotlight. Additionally, the course that will be used this week is a composite of two courses at The Country Club. Here’s what we do know: The Country Club features some of the smallest greens these players will ever see, measuring 4,388 square feet on average. (The average PGA Tour green is around 6,000 square feet.) Blind approaches into those greens, which often are elevated and well guarded by bunkers, will make for a stern test, as will the usual U.S. Open pitfalls: fast, sloping putting surfaces and gnarly rough. And if it’s at all windy, things could get diabolical. Italian golfer Guido Migliozzi gave us a preview of The Country Club rough on Instagram:

Who won the U.S. Open last year?

Jon Rahm played bogey-free golf over his final nine holes last year, holding steady while others faltered to claim his first major title at Torrey Pines. Rahm is among the favorites to win this year’s tournament as well, at 12-1 odds as of Monday morning. Rory McIlroy, who won last weekend’s Canadian Open , is the favorite at 10-1.

How big is the field at the U.S. Open?

There are 156 players in the U.S. Open field, which features recent U.S. Open winners, top-10 finishers from last year’s tournament, recent major winners and winners of top senior and amateur events, recent winners of the more important PGA Tour events from recent months, golfers who performed the best at recent U.S. Open qualifying events, players from the top of the Official World Golf Ranking and the top players from tours in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Will the golfers who played in the LIV Golf event be allowed to play?

Yes. The U.S. Golf Association, which runs the U.S. Open, said last week that anyone who had qualified for the tournament can play, including those who have joined the breakaway LIV Golf Invitational Series , which held its inaugural tournament last week. The PGA Tour has suspended those golfers from its tournaments but has no say over who can play in the U.S. Open. The following LIV golfers are in the field this week: 2016 champion Dustin Johnson, 2020 champion Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, James Piot, Sergio Garcia, Kevin Na, Sam Horsfield, Shaun Norris, Richard Bland and Talor Gooch.

What is the cut at the U.S. Open?

The top 60 and ties after Friday’s play advance to the weekend at the U.S. Open, which makes the tournament the toughest of golf’s four majors in terms of percentage of golfers who make the cut. Last year, only 45.5 percent of the field made the cut, compared with 49.3 percent at that year’s British Open, 51.9 percent at the PGA Championship and 61.4 percent at the Masters.

What does the U.S. Open winner receive?

The U.S. Open winner receives $3.15 million , a massive increase from the $2.25 million awarded in previous years. The U.S. Open champion also receives automatic entry to the tournament for the next 10 years. He also will be invited to play at the other three majors and the Players Championship for the next five years. Golfers who finish in the top 10 receive an automatic berth in the next year’s U.S. Open. Golfers who finish in the top four receive an invitation to play in the next year’s Masters.

What is the U.S. Open weather forecast?

The forecast looks to be pretty much dry over the next four days, with temperatures heating up to the high 80s on Friday but otherwise staying in the mid-70s for the other rounds. There could be a pretty persistent breeze all four days, however, with winds blowing between 10 and 20 mph after a calm start on Thursday morning.

Is Tiger Woods playing in the U.S. Open?

Tiger Woods will not play in the U.S. Open after he announced last week that his “body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf.” Woods has played in only two tournaments since suffering severe injuries in a 2021 car crash. The most recent was last month’s PGA Championship, from which he withdrew after laboring to a third-round 79, his worst round at a tournament he has won four times. Woods said he hopes to play in next month’s British Open.
