The U.S. Open championship Trophy is up for grabs.
The 125th annual U.S. Open, the third of four major championships of the calendar year, is set to tee off at the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, on Thursday. The Oakmont Country Club has previously hosted the U.S. Open a record nine times, dating back to 1927 and most recently in 2016.
An American golfer has won the U.S. Open eight times out of the past 10 years. American Scottie Scheffler is a favorite to win the 2025 U.S. Open after coming off a victory at the 2025 PGA Championship in May. Rory McIlroy, the 2025 Masters champion, and the reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau are also favorites entering the golf tournament.
Here’s everything you need to know about the U.S. Open champions:
Who won the U.S. Open in 2024?
American Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 U.S. Open, the second major title of his career, after besting Rory McIlroy by one stroke at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. McIlroy had a two-stroke lead over DeChambeau with four holes remaining, but McIlroy bogeyed three of the final four holes to finish in second place.
DeChambeau has fared pretty well at the U.S. Open. He also won the tournament in 2020. He’s looking to become the first golfer to win back-to-back U.S. Open titles since Brooks Koepka in 2017 and 2018.
