The 126th edition of the U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills in Southhampton, N.Y., for the sixth time on Thursday — and the first since 2018.
Brooks Koepka successfully defended his title that year, and he will look to overcome a competitive field and a hand injury to boot this time around.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will vie for the career Grand Slam this week after capturing the PGA Championship and The Open Championship last year. He won the Masters in both 2022 and 2024, however his best finish at the U.S. Open was a T2 in 2022.
Defending U.S. Open champion JJ Spaun is paired with Scheffler and amateur Mason Howell for the first two rounds of the tournament.
