What Is The U.S. Open Golf Date 2025?

What Course Is The 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championships Being Played At?

The 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship will be held at Oakmount Country Club in Pennsylvania.

This course is 7,372 yards in length for the major and is a par 71 course, but since 2007 has been a par 70 just for the U.S. Open

Oakmount Country Club is generally considered as a gruelling test, that plays long and doesn’t have many birdie opportunities.

While it’s also well-known for being almost tree-less and having only a few water hazards.

In contrast the challenge of Oakmont comes with the 175 bunkers dotted about the course that players must avoid if they want to score well.

There are also many tough greens at Oakmont – with staggering slopes and paid with Poa Annua, which is deemed to be one of the toughest surfaces to putt on – with any hot or dry weather making them super-fast and often a bit bumpy.

Oakmont Country Club is also often billed as the second hardest or toughest golf course in all of America – backed up with Phil Mickelson once saying it’s the ” hardest course the pros have ever played’.

How Many Times Has The U.S. Open Been Staged Oakmont Country Club?

The U.S. Open Golf Championship was first staged back in 1895, so the 2025 renewal will be the 125th.

Over that time the U.S. Open has been staged at Oakmont Country Club NINE times.

With the first U.S. Open golf at Oakmont coming in 1927, when US hitter Tommy Armour won with a score of +13.

There’s been eight more tournaments at the Pennsylvania course, which have seen 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus win the trophy in 1962.

While the most recent U.S. Open held at Oakmont was in 2016, when Dustin Johnson won with a score of -4.

1927 – Tommy Armour
1935 – Sam Parks, Jr
1953 – Ben Hogan
1962 – Jack Nicklaus
1973 – Johnny Miller
1983 – Larry Nelson
1994 – Ernie Els
2007 – Angel Cabrera
2016 – Dustin Johnson

Who Is The 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship Favourite?

Having recently won the PGA Championship, this season’s second golf major, and also being the world number one – it’s no shock to see Scottie Scheffler as the favourite to win the 2025 U.S. Open.

Scheffler is yet to get his hands on the U.S. Open – with his best finish a tied second in 2022, while he was also third in 2023.

However, last year (2024) at Los Angeles Country Club, he only managed 41st.

Just behind Scheffler in the U.S. Open betting odds market is this season’s Masters winner – Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy has history in this event too – having won the trophy in 2011, when held at Congressional Country Club in Maryland.

The market then sees the current champion Bryson DeChambeau next – just in front of Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele.

Who Won The U.S. Open Golf Championship Last Year (2024)?

Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 U.S. Open golf championship in 2024.

This was the second time the US big-hitter has won this golf major – having also landed the prize in 2020 at Winged Foot Golf Club in New York.

DeChambeau will be looking to become the first U.S. Open back-to-back winner since fellow American Brooks Koepka won the major in consecutive seasons in 2017 and 2018.

Prior to Koepka you must go back to Curtis Strange in 1988 and 89 to find the next repeat U.S. Open winner.
