Where is the US Open being held in 2025?
Oakmont Country Club will host the US Open for the 10th time in its history, last doing so nine years ago. The course has also hosted the US PGA Championship, US Women's Open and US Amateur championship.Tommy Armour was the winner in 1927 when Oakmont hosted its first US Open. Since then, Oakmont US Open winners have included Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Ernie Els and Angel Cabrera.At Oakmont's most recent US Open in 2016, Johnson picked up the first of his two major titles. Oakmont, which is generally regarded as one of the toughest courses in the United States, has also been confirmed as the US Open venue in 2033, 2042 and 2049.
Who are favourites to win the US Open?
Once again Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will dominate the headlines. Both have won three events in 2025 but head to Oakmont with differing levels of momentum.Scheffler is undoubtedly the man in form, with three wins in his past four starts, including last month's US PGA Championship - the third major victory of his career.The American preceded that with an eight-shot triumph at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and backed it up with a four-shot victory at the Memorial Tournament.In his past 10 majors, Scheffler has recorded eight top-10 finishes and two victories, making the cut in all 10.World number two McIlroy enjoyed the brighter start to the year with victories at Pebble Beach and the Players Championship in February and March before finally completing the career Grand Slam with his win at Augusta National in April.However, a non-conforming driver disrupted his US PGA Championship, where he finished joint 47th and he then missed the cut at last week's Canadian Open, saying he would spend the weekend testing out new drivers.McIlroy, the 2011 champion who is making his 17th successive appearance, has an excellent recent US Open record, finishing in the top 10 for the past six editions, and being runner-up in 2023 and 2024.Both McIlroy and Scheffler missed the cut the last time the US Open was held at Oakmont in 2016 - Scheffler as an amateur in his first major.Reigning Open champion and world number three Xander Schauffele, whose pre-season was disrupted by a rib injury, is yet to post a victory on tour this year, but recorded a top-10 finish at Augusta.Two-time major winner DeChambeau will look to become the first player to win successive US Open titles since Brooks Koepka won the 2017 and 2018 editions. The 31-year-old who also won at Winged Foot in 2020 has been in excellent form in the majors this season. He briefly led the Masters in the final round before finishing joint fifth, while he was joint second at the US PGA.Fellow LIV golfer Jon Rahm, who won this title in 2021, has posted top-15 finishes in the year's two majors to date.
Which UK golfers are playing US Open?
There are a total of 14 UK players qualified for this year's championship - 12 from England, Robert MacIntyre from Scotland and McIlroy from Northern Ireland.Notable English players include Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Aaron Rai and Tyrrell Hatton.Rose, who won his solitary major at the 2013 US Open, came close to winning the Masters in April before losing in a play-off to his Ryder Cup team-mate McIlroy. His recent US Open form is patchy though with four missed cuts in his previous five.Fitzpatrick also won this title, in 2022, but arrives at Oakmont with indifferent form with four missed cuts in 13 events this year. However, his best result was joint eighth at last month's US PGA.Fleetwood went closest to winning a major at Shinnecock Hills in 2018 but has had only one other top-five since, in 2023. The Englishman is also yet to win on American soil.MacIntyre is coming off the back of his best year, with two PGA Tour wins in 2024, but is yet to really challenge in a major.Rai continues to impress and is making his third US Open appearance, although he comes into this championship on the back of successive missed cuts.Hatton keeps being talked up as a major winner in waiting but his results in the sport's biggest events have failed to match the hype. A joint sixth in 2018 is his only US Open top-10 in eight previous starts.
Which LIV golfers will be playing in the US Open?
A total of 14 players play on the LIV Golf circuit.Defending champion DeChambeau leads the challenge from the breakaway Saudi-funded circuit, while fellow two-time winner Brooks Koepka and former champions Rahm and Dustin Johnson are also at Oakmont.Three of LIV's seven events in 2025 have been individually won by Joaquin Niemann of Chile, who is another player yet to shine at a major with one top-10 in 24 previous starts.Dustin Johnson won the last US Open at Oakmont in 2016 while six-time runner-up 54-year-old Phil Mickelson - six times a US Open runner-up - continues his quest for the only major he is yet to win. However, both missed the cut at the Masters and US PGA.
Is Tiger Woods playing the US Open?
Tiger Woods will not be at Oakmont as he continues to recover from an operation in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon.The 15-time major winner has not played since missing the cut at last July's Open Championship at Royal Troon.Woods, who had a sixth back procedure in 10 years in September, had planned to return at the Genesis Invitational in February but withdrew following the death of his mother, Kultida.He then pulled out of the PGA Tour's flagship Players Championship in March after sustaining his injury while training at home.
