The third of the four PGA Major tournaments on the calendar and the second-oldest major after the British Open, the US Open is a four-day Championship played from Thursday to Sunday in mid-June. Legends have been made at the US Open, and a victory at the event will guarantee a place in golf immortality.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach year, the US Open attracts the world's best golfers to one of several different courses across the United States. It is governed by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and considered one of the most challenging tournaments on the PGA Tour calendar. This article discusses the tournament's history, past winners, and what to expect at the next edition.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"History","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eHistory of the U.S. Open\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThe first US Open golf tournament took place way back in October 1895, and it looked a lot different than it does today. The inaugural edition was played on a nine-hole course in Rhode Island at the Newport Country Club. Rather than the three-day tournament we have today, this early version of the US Open was played over 36 holes and concluded in a single day. The winner was a 21-year-old Englishman named Horace Rawlins who beat out the ten other entrants.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years passed, the US Open gained legitimacy and grew into the major tournament it is today. The first US-born winner of the US Open was John J McDermott, who emerged victorious in 1911. Since then, the US Open has been dominated by American players. Only seven other countries have produced US Open champions in the tournament's history. How dominant has the US been? American golfers have won well over two-thirds of every US Open played to date.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"Venue","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eWhere is the U.S. Open Played?\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eUnlike other tournaments, like the Masters, the US Open is played on a different course each year. In all, there have been 52 different courses used for the US Open: 22 in the Northeast, 18 in the Midwest, 6 in the South, and 6 in the West. The US Open has been played on a course in New York twenty times and in California fifteen times throughout its illustrious history.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York hosted the 2026 US Open from 18 to 21 June, the sixth time the historic Long Island course has staged the championship after previous editions in 1896, 1986, 1995, 2004 and 2018. Like many US Open venues, Shinnecock is known for its challenging greens, narrow fairways, and thick rough, with Atlantic winds off Long Island's south shore adding to a brutal test. The US Open is famous for courses that punish even modest mistakes, so it is not unusual for leaderboards to have most of the field at or above par. Brooks Koepka famously won at Shinnecock in 2018 with a +1 total, the most recent over-par winning score at any major Championship.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePebble Beach Golf Links in California hosts the 2027 US Open from 17 to 20 June 2027, the seventh time the iconic Monterey Peninsula course has staged the championship after previous editions in 1972, 1982, 1992, 2000, 2010 and 2019. Pebble Beach is known for its dramatic Pacific Coast holes, including the par-3 seventh and the par-5 eighteenth that runs alongside the ocean. The 2027 US Open will be the first to be played at Pebble Beach since Gary Woodland's victory in 2019.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther famous courses used for the US Open include Pebble Beach Golf Links and Torrey Pines in California, Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, and the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"Qualification","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eHow to Qualify for the U.S. Open Tournament\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThe US Open is unique in that it has an open qualification structure. It is open to any professional or amateur golfer who has a USGA handicap not exceeding 0.4 and who qualifies through various tournaments throughout the year. The field of the US Open is capped at 156 golfers, with plenty of professionals who are exempt from qualifying. This means that there are usually limited spaces for amateurs, but the few who do make it have created some legendary and historic moments.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eNearly half of the 156 golfers are exempt from qualifying. Most of these players fall into categories such as recent US Open Champions, top ten finishers from the previous US Open, and winners of other recent tournaments like the Players’ Championship and the BMW PGA Championship.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThere are two levels for golfers who need to qualify for the US Open: local qualifying and then Sectional Qualifying. The sectional qualifying takes place across several locations in the United States, as well as one each in Europe and Japan. The US Open qualifying has no age limit, and the youngest golfer to ever earn a spot in the tournament was a 14-year-old from China.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"PGA Golf","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eBetting on the U.S. Open Golf Tournament\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eGolf fans can place wagers on the US Open and most other golf tournaments through online sportsbooks like BetVictor.
