U.S. Open 2025: How To Watch And Viewers Guide
The best golfers in the world will tee it up this week outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the 125th playing of the U.S. Open. The historic and challenging Oakmont Country Club, which many experts believe is the toughest test in all of championship golf, will be the puzzle that the best in the world are looking to solve. The 2025 U.S. Open will feature more network coverage than any major of the season, with NBC sports providing close to 300 hours of coverage across its various platforms. If you are looking to get tuned up for Thursday's opening round, the pre-tournament coverage begins on Monday, June 9th with 5 Clubs doing a live show from Oakmont on the Golf Channel at 1 p.m. ET. Following that, Golf Channel's Live From the U.S. Open will begin at 3 p.m. ET, and runs through the championship with pre-and-post round commentary about the U.S. Open.

Coming off a win his last time out at Muirfield Village, Scheffler has really found his stride at just the right time. After winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam two months ago, Rory McIlroy has struggled as of late. Even with his current struggles, his distance off the tee and ability to generate clubhead speed to get balls out of the rough will make him a favorite this week. Defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is back to defend his title. Over the last two years, no player on the planet, other than possibly Scheffler, has been more consistently in contention at majors, expect this trend to continue at Oakmont. These three players will head to Oakmont as the favorites to take home the title, but a field of quality players including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Sepp Straka and others will be ready to challenge them. Oakmont Country Club, built in 1903, renowned for its difficulty, is the most established of all U.S. Open venues with the 2025 championship being its tenth playing at Oakmont. Henry Fownes designed the course, his lone work, and he created it with a challenge in mind. When asked about bad shots on his golf course, he said 'a shot poorly played should be a shot irrevocably lost.' For more than a century, Oakmont has had all the ingredients to make it possibly the most challenging championship golf course in the world. Its greens are legendary for their slope and speed. Sam Snead once famously quipped about the green speeds saying, 'I tried to use a dime as a ball marker, but the coin slid away.' Many of Oakmont's slick greens have a tremendous amount of slope, with about a third of them having a unique feature that is not seen much in championship golf, they slope front to back. This means that players will have to face multiple approach shots where the green slopes away from the fairway, as opposed to typically sloping towards the fairway, which helps stop approaching shots. Being able to navigate greens is often times the most important aspect to winning on the PGA Tour and in professional golf, this week may be an exception to that rule. Hitting fairways at Oakmont is paramount to success and the eventual winner will need a high degree of accuracy off the tee to keep shots in the fairways in order to give themselves a chance for success when hitting approach shots into the tough Oakmont greens. Missing the fairway will be heavily penalizing this week as the rough at Oakmont is over five inches deep in spots and incredibly thick. You will see more golfers pitching out sideways back to the fairway this week than any time this year. Bunkers are also more difficult than normal at Oakmont as many of the fairway bunkers are deeper than typical courses, which makes longer fairway bunker shots treacherous for players having to hit long irons out of them. Around the greens it is the same story, deep bunkers and heavy rough. If Mother Nature cooperates, it will be dry conditions, which will propel balls off the greens and into these areas, making it challenging to get up-and-down, even for the most accomplished players in the world. The members of Oakmont Country Club take great pride in having one of the most difficult golf courses in all of championship golf, it is part of the identity or DNA of the golf course. Whoever wins the 125th U.S. Open this week will be the player who can endure 72 - holes on one of the most punishing, brutal golf courses in the world - which is just what Oakmont, its members and the United States Golf Association are looking for out of our national championship.
