J.J. Spaun is still processing his U.S. Open win on the eve of the Travelers Championship

J.J. Spaun is still processing his U.S. Open win on the eve of the Travelers Championship Life is changing fast for 2025 U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun, who said Wednesday that he's still coming down from his Oakmont triumph. CROMWELL, Conn. — J.J. Spaun hasn't had the quiet, still moment where the world fades, the noise quiets, and the magnitude of what just happened finally hits. The 33-year-old from Los Angeles is a U.S. Open champion, and on Wednesday morning at TPC River Highlands, a few days removed from draining a 64-foot putt to win at Oakmont, he admitted it hasn't fully sunk in. 'I'm not like fully in the clouds still,' Spaun said with a grin on Wednesday morning. 'We're getting a little below the ceiling.' That was Spaun's way of saying: this is still surreal. His phone is stacked with messages he hasn't answered. He's appeared on national TV. His beloved Los Angeles Dodgers reached out. So did Mookie Betts. George Lopez texted. In the middle of it all, he's doing his best to get his head around his accomplishment and recalibrate to life as a major champion — and find a time and place to exhale. 'I got back (to his hotel from Oakmont) at 1:30 a.m., and I just kind of sat in bed, trying to maybe go through my phone,' Spaun said, recalling what happened after the trophy presentation ended, he signed mountains of memorabilia, and completed his duties as the new U.S. Open champion. 'Took a quick shower, started going through my phone to respond to some people, and just tried to see what was going on to help me soak it in and realize that it actually happened. It's just been such a blur since then.' That's not the way Spaun instinctively likes to soak in his accomplishments. 'It would be nice to just sit on my couch at home and have the trophy sitting right next to me and watch some SportsCenter or something,' he said. 'That's kind of how I like to enjoy things.' That moment, he says, is coming next week, after this week's Travelers Championship where he is scheduled to play Thursday afternoon with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The weight and the wonder What Spaun accomplished at Oakmont is no small thing. He won on what many believe is the toughest U.S. Open course. He did it by going 3 under over the final nine holes, in swirling wind, on a soaked course, after a weather delay. It was as gritty as golf gets. The win vaulted Spaun to No. 8 on the Official World Golf Ranking and No. 3 in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings. It earned him a spot in the history books and put a spotlight on his back. Life changes fast after your first major, and his fellow pros know it. 'The first time you come back out to the course is a bit of a circus,' said Scheffler, who has won two Masters and last month's PGA Championship. 'There's more people, more stuff to sign. It's a different energy, but J.J. earned it.' Keegan Bradley, who is the United States Ryder Cup captain, won the first major he ever played, the 2011 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. 'Everything changed after Atlanta,' Bradley said Wednesday at TPC River Highlands. 'I remember coming home and going out to dinner with my friends and walking into the restaurant. I could feel that people knew who I was. I had never felt that. The thing I told J.J. was I hope he really enjoys this.' Spaun has talked openly about wondering recently whether he was going to lose his PGA Tour card and whether his professional career might end soon, but after losing to Rory McIlroy in a playoff at the Players Championship in March, and now winning the U.S Open, he's the one doing the inspiring. Jordan Spieth, who has won three majors and returned to the PGA Tour this season after a wrist injury, said, 'To see J.J. grind it out, to say last year, 'If this is the end, so be it,' and then turn it around, and now he's almost won two of the biggest four events this year? That's the kind of story that reminds you why you love this sport.' Walking the tight rope The balancing act Spaun must perform now is appreciating what he has done while maintaining the high level of play that won him the U.S. Open in the first place. 'I definitely need to keep the hunger,' he said on Wednesday. 'Winning the U.S. Open is going to be a huge boost to that sort of inner ego, I guess you could say, to keep that self-belief alive and burning.' Self-doubt and wondering whether he had what it takes to be successful on the PGA Tour was something that challenged Spaun in the past, and something he had to overcome. 'I feel like that's kind of been my biggest barrier throughout my entire career – just trying not to be so hard on myself and not ruining any sort of confidence that I've built from all these experiences on my journey as a golfer,' Spaun said. Player after player who competed last week at the U.S. Open has said this week's Travelers Championship, a tournament that prides itself on a relaxed atmosphere, player-friendly amenities (Pizza trucks and an espresso bar on the driving range, anyone?) and low scores comes at the perfect time. For Spaun, this no-cut PGA Tour Signature Event might be the perfect low-stress environment he needs before the British Open, FedEx Cup Playoffs, and now, the Ryder Cup. Keegan Bradley discussed Spaun on Wednesday as if he were already on the team. 'I think he's a guy that people at Bethpage will really resonate with and a guy that on our team is the heartbeat,' Bradley said. 'He's now the U.S. Open champion. That's a heavy burden to bear, but he's also -- that's also a great thing to have on your team.' At some point next week, sitting on his sofa with the U.S. Open trophy beside him, that will be something nice for Spaun to quietly think about.

Tiger Woods Breaks Silence on New PGA Tour CEO

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Golf's world legend, Tiger Woods, has not only been the face of the sport but over time has also taken over critical decision-making roles when it comes to the PGA Tour. As a player director on the PGA Tour Policy Board, the 15-time major winner has taken on a more active governance role in recent years, joining fellow board members Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson, and others. Though he has been MIA from professional golf, he has never let his presence go unseen, and something similar happened as the PGA Tour announced its new boss. Tiger Woods sends clear message to new PGA Tour CEO On Tuesday morning, Woods made a rare non-playing appearance at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, for the official announcement of Brian Rolapp as the PGA Tour's new Chief Executive Officer. While Woods wasn't there to tee it up at the Travelers Championship, his presence alongside Tour leadership sent a clear message - this hire has his full backing.

(Image Collage | Getty Images) Getty Images Rolapp, a Harvard Business School graduate, spent 22 years at the NFL, most recently as Chief Media and Business Officer, where he helped negotiate over $110 billion in media rights deals and launched digital platforms like NFL+. Now, he steps into golf's top executive role at a time when the Tour is navigating fractured relations with LIV Golf and a shifting commercial landscape. "I'm honored to join the PGA TOUR at such a pivotal time," Rolapp said during the pre-tournament press conference. "The PGA TOUR represents the highest level of competition, integrity, and global opportunity in the game of golf, and I believe deeply in the TOUR's mission and its potential to grow even stronger." Woods echoed that optimism in a post on X later that morning: "Congrats to Brian on becoming CEO of the PGA TOUR. I'm excited about where the TOUR is headed. And a big thank you to Jay for everything he's done for our game and for the players and fans." Congrats to Brian on becoming CEO of the PGA TOUR. I'm excited about where the TOUR is headed. And a big thank you to Jay for everything he's done for our game and for the players and fans. — Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) June 17, 2025 Rolapp's appointment follows a unanimous vote by the CEO Search Committee, which included Woods, Scott, Arthur M. Blank, Joe Gorder, and Sam Kennedy. He will serve as CEO of both PGA TOUR, Inc. and PGA TOUR Enterprises, reporting to both Boards of Directors, while Jay Monahan remains Commissioner through 2026 to ensure a smooth transition. Monahan himself called Rolapp "the perfect choice for the next chapter of the PGA TOUR," adding, "His arrival strengthens our leadership team and reflects our shared commitment to the TOUR's continued evolution." Rolapp, for his part, acknowledged Woods' influence during the process, calling his involvement "significant" and praising his dedication to the next generation of players. With the Big Cat's endorsement and Rolapp's business strategies for the PGA Tour is clearly betting on a new era. More Golf: Paige Spiranac's 'Niche' Gets Nod of Approval from Annika Sorenstam

Rory McIlroy explain his desire to be world traveler and chase national opens

Rory McIlroy explain his desire to be world traveler and chase national opens Rory McIlroy has won six different national opens eight times, and he'll shoot for a seventh country later this year in India. 'I haven't hidden my sort of aspirations for national Opens and where I would like them to be, what their standing is in the professional game of golf,' McIlroy said. Speaking on Wednesday at a press conference ahead of the 2025 Travelers Championship, McIlroy said he always wanted to go to India and he will make his first appearance there at the Indian Championship, held Oct. 16 -19 at Delhi Golf Club. 'The European Tour and DP World created a new event there. I was asked at the start of the year would I be interested in going, and I said yeah, that sounds amazing,' McIlroy recounted. 'The Hero Indian Open is always when we're – it's like March-April time. I'd love to play DLF and figure out my way around that place, but this one in Delhi in October made more sense.' Bryson DeChambeau played in India for the first time this spring and attracted record crowds, so expect McIlroy to have quite the following, too. That isn't the only national Open that McIlroy has committed to. He also agreed to play the Australian Open for the next two years. McIlroy won the title in 2013, defeating Aussie Adam Scott by one stroke. He also survived qualifying for the Oz Open in 2005. 'Got through like a nine-man playoff to get in,' he recalled. 'I've always had a huge affinity for that part of the world. So to go back to -- especially Royal Melbourne this year, Kingston Heath next year – two of the best golf courses in the world on the Sandbelt, that's awesome, too.' He added: 'I like to travel. I like to play in different parts of the world. I've never been to India. I haven't been to Australia in 10 years. So it's nice to go back to these places." It's also nice to be paid handsomely to play in such events. DP World Tour and the Australasian Tour permit players to be paid appearance fees, and the reigning Masters champion should be able to cash in for being his star power. 'It's that part of the year where we have the ability to travel and to do these things, and if it makes sense for the schedule – especially, look, I'm excited to – there's never been a Green Jacket in India before," he said. "So to bring the green jacket to India is something that's going to be really cool.' Here's a list of the national opens McIlroy has won to date: 2011 U.S. Open 2013 Australian Open 2014 British Open 2016 Irish Open 2019, 2022 RBC Canadian Open 2023 Genesis Scottish Open *He's also won in Dubai, Hong Kong and China
