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.
Previous US Open winners
Since 2010, there have been 13 different winners of the US Open.Koepka won it in 2017 and 2018, while De Chambeau did so in 2020 and 2024.In the previous 15 US Opens, nine have been won by American players.2024: Bryson DeChambeau (United States)2023: Wyndham Clark (United States)2022: Matt Fitzpatrick (England)2021: Jon Rahm (Spain)2020: Bryson DeChambeau (United States)2019: Gary Woodland (United States)2018: Brooks Koepka (United States)2017: Brooks Koepka (United States)2016: Dustin Johnson (United States)2015: Jordan Spieth (United States)2014: Martin Kaymer (Germany)2013: Justin Rose (England)2012: Webb Simpson (United States)2011: Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland)2010: Graeme McDowell (Northern Ireland)

Emma Raducanu makes short work of opening win at Queen's
The 22-year-old, who secured a first doubles victory with partner Katie Boulter on Monday, revealed before the tournament – the first time Queen's has hosted women's tennis in 52 years – that she was still managing ongoing back issues, playing down expectations for this WTA 500 event, boasting a £1million prize pot. But wild card Raducanu was in fine form on Tuesday afternoon on centre court – the day before inaugurated as the Andy Murray Arena – where she dispatched Bucsa in just one hour and four minutes, much to the delight of the home crowd who were behind the 2021 US Open champion the whole way. Emma Raducanu was 'locked in' during a comprehensive straight sets win (John Walton/PA) 'I must say I was quite locked in today,' Raducanu said on court. 'I'm very pleased with my performance. I was a little bit nervous for sure at the beginning, it's my first time playing on this court at Queen's in London, and the support is incredible. 'I'm still trying to find my groove on this surface, there are certain shots that I feel like I am a little bit late on, so I'm working on that. 'I knew today was going to be a very difficult match. I actually lost to Cristina earlier on in the year, so I was really trying to fight and make sure that didn't happen again. 'I was really trying to fight and get myself into the second round, because I just want to stay here playing at Queen's as many matches as I possibly can.' This was Raducanu's first appearance on the west London venue's marquee stage after making her Queen's debut on the smaller Court One on Monday with British number one Boulter. Katie Boulter finally saw off Ajla Tomljanovic (John Walton/PA) The latter also punched her ticket to the second round but in much grittier fashion, battling to a 7-6 (4) 1-6 6-4 victory over Australian qualifier Ajla Tomljanovic. 'When I walked out it actually surpassed what I thought it would feel like when I kind of imagined it,' said Boulter, adding: 'I think it's very easy to get caught up in just trying to get your first grass court match, also coming to such an historic venue as well, which holds a lot of purpose and a lot of familiar feelings when I've come here before.' Earlier, Heather Watson set up a second-round meeting with fourth seed and former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina after upsetting world number 27 Yulia Putintseva, 107 places above her in the rankings, 6-4 6-3. Former British number one Watson won all four of her break points to see off her Kazakh opponent in an hour and 22 minutes. Tuesday's results ensured four Britons qualified for the round of 16 after Sonay Kartal set up a meeting with American eighth seed Amanda Anisimova by beating Daria Kasatkina 6-1 3-6 6-3 on Monday. It was not to be for British wildcard Fran Jones, however, who was defeated in straight 6-2 6-4 sets by American McCartney Kessler, while the other all-British pair in the doubles draw, Kartel and Jodie Burrage, were knocked out in a nervy 7-6 (8) 7-6 (1) defeat to Lyudmyla Kichenok and Erin Routliffe.

Rory McIlroy snubbed by Amanda Balionis in surprise US Open prediction
Rory McIlroy will be on the hunt for more major success at the US Open this week but CBS star Amanda Balionis has made a surprise tip to find glory in Pennsylvania Amanda Balionis has tipped Sam Burns for success in the US Open later this week, even with competition to come from the likes of Scott Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. The CBS Sports reporter has been said to have a close relationship with McIlroy but it did not prevent her from looking elsewhere for a shout at who could earn glory. And it is Burns who has received her backing following his tense play-off defeat at the Canadian Open on Sunday. The 28-year-old American put in a stunning final round to record an eight-under-par 62 before New Zealand's Ryan Fox matched his 18-under-par score to force a play-off. It took a further four holes to separate the pair with Fox earning a birdie to secure victory. But the outing still shows that Burns is ready to be competitive. At least, CBS star Balionis was convinced enough by his performance. Burns, ranked 22nd in the world, made seven consecutive cuts and finished in the top five twice in the run up to making the trip to Oakmont Country Club. "Fox will tell you it took him longer than expected to settle in here on the PGA Tour, but after a dramatic win a month ago, the Kiwi is playing free and is now a multiple-time winner," said Balionis after Fox's win in Canada. "Sam Burns is playing out of his mind right now. Once again, the LSU talent put himself in the mix, and if I'm you, I'm snagging him early for any US Open pools you might be in." Despite Balionis' faith, Burns has often failed to show his best in major competitions in his career. The Canada Open runner-up has managed just one top-10 finish in 20 majors and tied ninth at last year's US Open at Pinehurst No.2. McIlroy meanwhile has his own issues despite banishing his Grand Slam demons. A change of driver has caused some issues for the 36-year-old, who missed the cut at the Canadian Open. Balionis will not be working in Pennsylvania to see whether her tip pays off. Instead NBC will be in charge of the broadcast for the third major tournament of the year. The 38-year-old reporter is scheduled to return to action the following week at TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. Signing off from her time in Toronto, Balionis said: "We had The Rink, we had the cutest kids visit us on set, we had the New Zealand national football team living and dying by every Ryan Fox shot. "We had an incredible national open. It's time for a week off. In my best Mike Wilbon voice, 'Goodnight Canada!'".
