How to watch the 2025 U.S. Open: Tee times, streaming info and updated odds for PGA major
The PGA Tour bus cruises onward this weekend, setting up shop at the historic Oakmont Country Club. It's time for Major No. 3, with the World Golf Rankings' No. 1 player opening as a massive favorite. Scottie Scheffler and the rest of the field tee off Thursday morning, with tournament rounds extending into Sunday afternoon.

The coverage is split between USA and NBC/Peacock this year, and it can get a bit confusing. Here are the handoff times (ET) for each day:
Bryson DeChambeau won his second U.S. Open last year, surviving the narrowest of finishes with Rory McIlroy. In fact, each of the tourney's past four champions triumphed by just a single stroke — Wyndham Clark over McIlroy in 2023, Matt Fitzpatrick over Scheffler and Will Zalatoris in 2022 and Jon Rahm over Louis Oosthuizen in '21.
Scheffler is the strong favorite this weekend, to almost eyebrow-raising levels. He has the shortest U.S. Open odds since Tiger Woods in 2009. The 28-year-old seeks his first U.S. Open title after the five-stroke dominance at May's PGA Championship. A win here would get Scheffler to three of the four career majors.
He tied for second at the 2022 U.S. Open and came in third the following year. But 2024 was a (relative) nightmare. He came into Pinehurst fresh off a Memorial Tournament masterpiece, and ultimately looked fatigued in his 41st-place tumble. Scheffler sat out last weekend's Canadian Open to maximize his availability at Oakmont.
McIlroy, the world's second-ranked golfer, hasn't won the U.S. Open since his 2011 breakthrough. He's been awfully close, though, hitting 2025's installment with back-to-back second-place finishes. McIlroy won this year's Masters Tournament in euphoric fashion, but followed up with a paltry 47th spot at the PGA Championship in Quail Hollow.
World No. 3 Xander Schauffele has made the top 10 in seven of his eight Open starts, but the closest he's gotten to the top is a tie for third in 2019. No. 4 Collin Morikawa put forth top-5 efforts in 2021 and 2022, but he tied for 14th in the two tournaments since that stretch.
Rickie Fowler and Max Homa are among the notable names that failed to qualify.

The U.S. Open in the New York Times archive, 1980:
''The last couple of years, I've come close in a couple of majors,' Nicklaus said afterward, 'but not close enough, with more mistakes than I should have made. But all this hard work has paid off.'
'For at least a year, there has been speculation on the tour that Nicklaus is 'through,' and many obituaries have been written about his career. All this exasperated him and he was even more irritated by questions about his possible retirement. 'The hardest part,' he said, 'has been going from tournament to tournament answering the same questions. You guys almost had me believing it. Now I feel like I'm back in my early 20's.'' — John S. Radosta

Civale says he wants to continue starting - in Milwaukee or elsewhere - after Brewers put him in pen
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Aaron Civale is moving to a bullpen role for the first time in his seven-year career. His next move could be out of Milwaukee entirely. One day after the Brewers announced they were shifting him to the bullpen to make room for flame-throwing prospect Jacob Misiorowski in the rotation, Civale said he wants to continue starting, even if that means getting traded.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Do Matching Sweatsuits for a Surprise Stanley Cup Final Date Night
As Taylor Swift sang, Florida is one hell of a drug. Especially in NHL season. Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce made a surprise appearance last night (June 12) to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. And of course it's no Taylor-Travis date night to the games without two very considered looks. The couple arrived at the Amerant Arena in Sunrise, Florida hand-in-hand and took their seats in a VIP box for the tense game of ice hockey. It was a rare public date night for Swift and Kelce—who were only recently spotted together at a wedding of Kelce's cousin—though both are in their offseasons: As Swift wrapped her mammoth Eras tour back in December and Kelce the Super Bowl in February. And for the occasion, the pop star and NFL tight end opted for matching sweatsuits and their own takes on team colors. Swift wore a beige and crystal-studded track jacket and pull-on shorts by Area—a go-to Swift brand for matching sets and night out looks—as well as her trusty beige Prada heeled ankle boots and a large black monogrammed Chanel bucket bag. Jewelry was to be expected: DeBeers diamond earrings, her Tiffany 'T' ring, and Wove x Michelle Wi custom 'TNT' bracelet that Kelce gave Swift as a present. She wore her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and a signature (Panthers-friendly) red lip. Kelce meanwhile wore his own bright red long sleeve and shirts sweatsuit, with a white and red cap.

Rory McIlroy ducks media after rough first round in US Open
OAKMONT, Pa. — Two players many expected to play well this week, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, flopped in the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday. McIlroy, who has lost his mojo and motivation since winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam in April, shot a 4-over-par 74, and Lowry struggled worse, finishing with a 9-over 79. Lowry not only entered the week in good form, with a couple runner-up finishes this season, but he was the runner-up the last time the U.S. Open was played at Oakmont in 2016. McIlroy, who has finished tied for 47th at the PGA and missed the cut last week in Canada, seemingly was given a gift by the USGA when it paired him with Lowry, his close friend and fellow Irishman. McIlroy played well early, shooting a 2-under 33 on his front nine, which was the back nine since he started on No. 10. But he got sloppy on the final nine, shooting a 6-over 41 with bogeys on Nos. 1, 3, 6 and 7 and a double on 8, his second-to-last hole. Afterward, McIlroy refused to speak to reporters, a stunt he pulled after all four rounds at the PGA last month. Rory McIlroy didn't talk to the media after shooting a first-round 74 at the U.S. Open. AP He not only refused to come out of the locker room to speak to reporters, but he declined a request by the USGA simply to agree to a couple of statements about his round. Lightning struck early Thursday morning, and it came from a rather unlikely source. Maxwell Moldovan, a 23-year-old qualifier from Ohio, began the day with a hole-out eagle on the first hole, immediately getting to 2-under-par. 'It was a cool feeling,' he said afterward. 'You never really draw up your first hole that way. You kind of try to go fairway, green, two-putt and get out of there.' Moldovan said he hit an 8-iron 191 yards. 'I couldn't really see it, but I heard people start cheering, and then I walked down the hill, and I saw it go in and everybody's hands go up,' he said. When he realized the ball had gone in, Moldovan raised his arms in the air. 'God is good,' he said. 'I just pointed up to heaven above, thank God, because I only hit the shot. He let it go in.' Matt Vogt, the 34-year-old dentist who grew up near Oakmont, caddied at the club for five years and made it into the field as a qualifier, struck the first shot of the tournament with his 6:45 a.m. tee time. He finished with a 12-over-par 82. 'I hope that I represented the city, Oakmont, with pride today,' Vogt said. 'All this has been incredible. I don't want this to be about me this week. I just hope to bring a lot of, I guess, joy to the city. It means a ton. It means a ton to hit that first tee ball. Matt Vogt watches his shot from the seventh tee during the first round of the U.S. Open. Getty Images 'Right now, playing poorly really stings,' he went on. 'I made some really bad mental errors early on, and it's hard out here because you can't make physical and mental errors. You get behind the eight ball here, and honestly, your head starts spinning … and it just gets away from you. 'Honestly, I came in with such optimism for this golf course, but it is so hard. It's just so, so hard. In the moment, you feel like you get punched in the face, but ultimately, I'd say it was fun. I'm trying to have a silver lining on shooting 82.' Phil Mickelson, 54, is the only player in the 156-man field who played in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont. Mickelson has the third-most sub-par rounds in U.S. Open history with 26. One of them was not Thursday as he shot a 4-over 74. Si Woo Kim posted the second-lowest score of the morning wave, at 2-under par. He didn't see that round coming after playing practice rounds earlier this week. 'I played three nine-hole [rounds] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and I don't even know what I'm doing on the course,' he said. 'I was kind of hitting good, but feel like this course is too hard for me. I had no expectation, but I played great today.'
