2025 US Open: Date, course, previous winners & how to watch

The US Open is the third major championship on golf's calendar and is traditionally the most challenging for the players.

The 72-hole stroke-play tournament is one of the most prestigious in the world and the elite of golf will be aiming to get their hands on the US Open trophy.

US Open courses are typically set up extremely difficult and this event is considered one of the biggest tests a golfer can face in their career.

US Open date

The tournament starts on Thursday 12th June and is scheduled to conclude on Sunday 15th June, 2025.

US Open venue

The 125th US Open will take place at Oakmont in Pennsylvania. Oakmont is typically regarded as one of the best and toughest courses in the United States, famed for its lightning-fast greens.

It will be the first time the US Open has been played at Oakmont since Dustin Johnson's win there in 2016.

Who has won the US Open on the most occasions?

The other three players to win the tournament four times are Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan.

What is the record for best performance at the US Open?

Tiger Woods won the 2000 US Open by 15 shots at Pebble Beach, an all-time record for all majors.

What is the US Open purse?

Can the US Open be rained out?

Although the US Open takes place in June in an attempt to minimise the chances of weather affecting the event, it has been known to do so.

Heavy rain hampered the 2009 edition and the delays due to the weather meant the tournament was not completed until Monday, with Lucas Glover eventually securing a two-shot victory.
