U.S. Open 2025 week has arrived, and while excitement will start to build up for the third major of the year, there is some concern on how much golf will be played with potential weather problems.
This year’s U.S. Open will take place at the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. It will be the 10th time the course will be the site of the championship, and the 2025 edition might present some major challenges to every golfer.
The week is expected to start with rain and thunderstorms as practice rounds begin, and while the weather should clear up by the time the first round tees off, things could get tricky by the third and final round on the weekend, making it either tough to play or stopping it all entirely.
Here is the forecast breakdown for each day of the tournament from the National Weather Service, AccuWeather and The Weather Channel.
