The '''United States Open Championship''', commonly known as the '''U.S. Open''', is the annual [[Open golf tournament|open]] national championship of [[golf]] in the United States. It is the third of the four [[men's major golf championships]], and is on the official schedule of both the [[PGA Tour]] and the [[European Tour]]. Since 1898 the competition has been 72 holes of [[stroke play]] (4 rounds on an 18-hole course), with the winner being the player with the lowest total number of strokes. It is staged by the [[United States Golf Association]] (USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday. The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult, with a premium placed on accurate driving.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2021/02/01/2021-us-open-setup-torrey-pines-usga-john-bodenhamer/ |title='We do go in with a game plan': USGA's John Bodenhamer talks U.S. Open setup at Torrey Pines |magazine=Golfweek |first=Adam |last=Schupak |date=February 1, 2021 |quote=...but it will provide us what we want to do at a U.S. Open and make a premium on driving.}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/golf/2020/09/21/bryson-dechambeau-win-us-open-unconventional |title=Bryson DeChambeau Has Dedicated His Life to Winning His Way: 'And I'm not going to stop' |magazine=Sports Illustrated |first=Stephanie |last=Apstein |date=September 20, 2020 |quote=And our U.S. Open DNA is about placing a premium on accuracy off the teeing area.}}</ref> As of 2024, the U.S. Open awards a $21.5 million purse, the largest of all four major championships.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/2024-u-s-open-prize-money-purse-payouts-for-winner-bryson-dechambeau-field-from-record-21-5-million-pool/ |title=2024 U.S. Open prize money, purse: Payouts for winner Bryson DeChambeau, field from record $21.5 million pool |work=CBS Sports |date=June 16, 2024}}</ref>

==History==
{{more citations needed|section|date=October 2021}}
The first U.S. Open was played on October 4, 1895, on a nine-hole course at the [[Newport Country Club]] in [[Newport, Rhode Island]]. It was a 36-hole competition and was played in a single day. Ten professionals and one amateur entered. The winner was [[Horace Rawlins]], a 21-year-old Englishman, who had arrived in the U.S. earlier that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 cash out of a prize fund of $335, plus a $50 gold medal; his club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://golf.about.com/od/majorchampionships/f/usopen1stwinner.htm|title=First Winner of US Open Golf Tournament|author=Brent Kelley|work=About.com Sports|access-date=2013-06-19|archive-date=2016-03-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305010310/http://golf.about.com/od/majorchampionships/f/usopen1stwinner.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.ticketcity.com/golf/us-open-golf/us-open-golf-history/|title=US Open Golf History &#124; TicketCity Insider|website=blog.ticketcity.com}}</ref>

In the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911, when [[John McDermott (golfer)|John J. McDermott]] became the first native-born American winner. American golfers soon began to win regularly and the tournament evolved to become one of the four [[men's major golf championships|majors]].
[[File:US Open Trophy at the 2008 PGA Golf Show.jpg|thumb|right|U.S. Open Trophy at the 2008 PGA Golf Show.]]
Since 1911, the title has been won mostly by players from the United States. Since 1950, players from only six countries other than the United States have won the championship, most notably [[South Africa]], which has won five times since 1965.<ref>{{cite news |last1=van der Westhuyzen |first1=Jacques |title=The three South African golfers who have triumphed at the US Open |url=https://www.iol.co.za/sport/golf/the-three-south-african-golfers-who-have-triumphed-at-the-us-open-49556041 |work=[[Independent Online]] |date=June 18, 2020}}</ref> A streak of four consecutive non-American winners occurred from 2004 to 2007 for the first time since 1910.

Northern Ireland's [[Graeme McDowell]] (2010) became the first European player to win the event<ref>{{Cite web |author=Staff Writer |title=Golf: McDowell becomes first European in 40 years to win U.S. Open |url=https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/pga/2010/06/21/golf-mcdowell-becomes-first-european/24142875007/ |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=The Columbus Dispatch |language=en-US}}</ref> since [[Tony Jacklin]] of England in 1970; three more Europeans won in the next four editions, making it only three American wins in the 11 tournaments from 2004 to 2014.

U.S. Open play is characterized by tight scoring at or around par by the leaders, with the winner usually emerging at around even par. A U.S. Open course is seldom beaten severely, and there have been many over-par wins (in part because par is usually set at 70, except for the very longest courses). Normally, an Open course is quite long and will have a high cut of primary rough (termed "Open rough" by the American press and fans); undulating greens (such as at [[Pinehurst Resort|Pinehurst No. 2]] in 2005, which was described by [[Johnny Miller]] of [[Golf Channel on NBC|NBC]] as "like trying to hit a ball on top of a [[VW Beetle]]"); pinched fairways (especially on what are expected to be less difficult holes); and two or three holes that are short par fives under regular play would be used as long par fours during the tournament (often to meet that frequently used par of 70, forcing players to have accurate long drives). Some courses that are attempting to get into the rotation for the U.S. Open will undergo renovations to develop these features. [[Rees Jones]] is the most notable of the "Open Doctors" who take on these projects; his father [[Robert Trent Jones]] had filled that role earlier. As with any professional golf tournament, the available space surrounding the course (for spectators, among other considerations) and local infrastructure also factor into deciding which courses will host the event.

==Qualification==
The U.S. Open is open to any professional, or to any amateur with a USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 0.4.<ref name=entry>{{cite web |title=112th U.S. Open Championship application form |url=https://champs.usga.org/EntryForms/usopen_2012.pdf |publisher=USGA |access-date=June 11, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130525062640/https://champs.usga.org/EntryForms/usopen_2012.pdf |archive-date=May 25, 2013 }}</ref> Players (male or female)<ref name=entry/> may obtain a place by being fully exempt or by competing successfully in qualifying.

The exemptions for amateurs apply only if the players remain amateurs as of the tournament date, except for the U.S. Amateur champion. On August 5, 2019, the USGA announced a rule change stating a player may turn professional and still retain his U.S. Open exemption. Note that this tournament typically takes place after the collegiate season has ended, so players may turn professional immediately after their last collegiate event (typically the end of the NCAA final of their senior year) in order to maximize the number of FedEx Cup points they may score before the August cutoff to avoid qualifying school.<ref name="2019 changes">{{cite press release |url=https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/articles/2019/08/exemption-changes-u-s--amateur-women-s-amateur-professional-golf.html |title=New Exemption Changes for U.S. Women's and U.S. Amateur |publisher=USGA |date=August 5, 2019 |access-date=November 20, 2019}}</ref>

Before 2011, the sole OWGR cutoff for entry was the top 50 as of two weeks before the tournament. An exemption category for the top 50 as of the tournament date was added for 2011, apparently in response to the phenomenon of golfers entering the top 50 between the original cutoff date and the tournament (such as [[Justin Rose]] and [[Rickie Fowler]] in 2010).<ref name="2011 changes">{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?id=6093060 |title=U.S. Open to expand world-ranking use |agency=Associated Press |work=ESPN |date=February 5, 2011 |access-date=February 5, 2011}}</ref>

Through 2011, exemptions existed for leading money winners on the PGA, European, Japanese, and Australasian tours, as well as winners of multiple PGA Tour events in the year before the U.S. Open. These categories were eliminated in favor of inviting the top 60 on the OWGR at both relevant dates.<ref name="2011 changes"/> Starting with the 2012 championship, an exemption was added for the winner of the current year's BMW PGA Championship, the European Tour's equivalent of The Players Championship.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.usga.org/news/2011/February/Changes-Made-To-Exemption-Categories/ |title=USGA Announces Changes To Exemption Categories |publisher=USGA |date=February 5, 2011 |access-date=January 12, 2012}}</ref>

Potential competitors who are not fully exempt must enter the Qualifying process, which has two stages. Firstly there is Local Qualifying, which is played over 18 holes at more than 100 courses around the United States. Many leading players are exempt from this first stage, and they join the successful local qualifiers at the Sectional Qualifying stage, which is played over 36 holes in one day at several sites in the U.S., as well as one each in [[Europe]], [[Canada]], and [[Japan]]. Most sectional qualifiers are held on the Monday of the week prior to the U.S. Open. Field sizes and qualifying spots on offer vary from site to site; in recent years, the USGA has placed events near scheduled [[PGA Tour]] and [[Korn Ferry Tour]] stops to better accommodate touring pros who did not qualify through an exemption. There is no lower age limit and the youngest-ever qualifier was 14-year-old [[Andy Zhang]] of [[China]], who qualified in 2012 after [[Paul Casey]] withdrew days before the tournament.

===USGA special exemptions===
The USGA has granted a special exemption to 35 players 53 times since [[1966 U.S. Open (golf)|1966]].<ref name="usga exemptions">{{cite web |url=http://usga.org/uploadedFiles/USGAHome/press_room/media_guide/U.S.%20Open.pdf |title=2012 U.S. Open Championship Media Guide |page=31 |publisher=[[United States Golf Association]] |access-date=June 19, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522201736/http://www.usga.org/uploadedFiles/USGAHome/press_room/media_guide/U.S.%20Open.pdf |archive-date=May 22, 2013 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Players with multiple special exemptions include: [[Arnold Palmer]] (1978, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1994), [[Seve Ballesteros]] (1978, 1994), [[Gary Player]] (1981, 1983), [[Lee Trevino]] (1983, 1984), [[Hale Irwin]] (1990, 2002, 2003), [[Jack Nicklaus]] (1991, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), and [[Tom Watson (golfer)|Tom Watson]] (1993, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2010).<ref name="usga exem2">{{cite web |url=http://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/media/online-media-center/usga-records/u-s--open--special-exemptions.html |title=U.S. Open: Special Exemptions |publisher=USGA |date=December 12, 2016}}</ref>

Irwin won the [[1990 U.S. Open (golf)|1990 U.S. Open]] after accepting a special exemption. In [[2016 U.S. Open (golf)|2016]], a special exemption was extended to former champion [[Retief Goosen]] (2001, 2004).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/two-time-champ-goosen-gets-us-open-exemption/ |title=Two-time champ Goosen gets U.S. Open exemption |work=Golf Channel |first=Will |last=Gray |date=May 17, 2016 |archive-date=May 19, 2016 |access-date=June 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160519173624/http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/two-time-champ-goosen-gets-us-open-exemption/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In [[2018 U.S. Open (golf)|2018]], a special exemption was extended to former U.S. Open champions [[Jim Furyk]] (2003) and [[Ernie Els]] (1994, 1997).<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/usga-gives-ernie-els-jim-furyk-special-exemptions-into-2018-us-open-at-shinnecock-hills |title=USGA gives Ernie Els, Jim Furyk special exemptions into 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills |magazine=Golf Digest |first=Ryan |last=Herrington |date=March 14, 2018}}</ref> The last special exemption was granted to three-time champion Tiger Woods to play in [[2024 U.S. Open (golf)|2024]].<ref name="espn24">{{cite news |last=Schlabach |first=Mark |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40070392/tiger-woods-accepts-special-exemption-play-us-open |title=Tiger Woods accepts special exemption to play in U.S. Open |work=ESPN |date=May 24, 2024 |access-date=March 26, 2025}}</ref>

==Prizes==
The purse at the 2017 U.S. Open was $12&nbsp;million, and the winner's share was $2.16&nbsp;million. The [[European Tour]] uses conversion rates at the time of the tournament to calculate the official prize money used in their Race to Dubai (€10,745,927 in 2017).

In line with the other majors, winning the U.S. Open gives a golfer several privileges that make his career much more secure if he is not already one of the elite players of the sport. U.S. Open champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the [[Masters Tournament|Masters]], [[The Open Championship]] (British Open), and the [[PGA Championship]]) for the next five years. They are also automatically invited to play in [[The Players Championship]] for the next five years, and they are exempt from qualifying for the U.S. Open itself for 10 years.

Winners may also receive a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour, which is automatic for regular members. Non-PGA Tour members who win the U.S. Open have the choice of joining the PGA Tour either within 60 days of winning, or prior to the beginning of any one of the next five tour seasons.

Finally, U.S. Open winners receive automatic invitations to three of the five [[senior major golf championships|senior majors]] once they turn 50; they receive a five-year invitation to the [[U.S. Senior Open]] and a lifetime invitation to the [[Senior PGA Championship]] and [[Senior Open Championship|Senior British Open]].

The top 10 finishers at the U.S. Open are fully exempt from qualifying for the following year's Open, and the top four are automatically invited to the following season's Masters. 

Players who make the cut but have no status on the PGA Tour and are not exempt by any other means earn entry into the second stage of [[PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament]].

==Playoff format==
Up to 2017, the U.S. Open retained a full 18-hole playoff the following day (Monday). If a tie existed after that fifth round, then the playoff continued as [[Playoff (golf)|sudden-death]] on the 91st hole. The U.S. Open advanced to sudden-death three times ([[1990 U.S. Open (golf)|1990]], [[1994 U.S. Open (golf)|1994]], [[2008 U.S. Open (golf)|2008]]), most recently when [[Tiger Woods]] defeated [[Rocco Mediate]] on the first additional playoff hole in 2008. Before sudden-death was introduced in the 1950s, additional 18-hole rounds were played ([[1925 U.S. Open (golf)|1925]], [[1939 U.S. Open (golf)|1939]], [[1946 U.S. Open (golf)|1946]] and [[1965 U.S. Open (golf)|1965]]) to break the tie. When the playoff was scheduled for 36 holes and ended in a tie, as in [[1931 U.S. Open (golf)|1931]], a second 36-hole playoff was required.

Since 2018, the [[USGA]] adopted a two-hole aggregate playoff format, after consulting fans, players and media partners. Sudden death will still be played if the playoff ends tied.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/22586395/us-open-abandons-18-holes-2-hole-playoff |title=U.S. Open abandons 18 holes for 2-hole playoff |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=February 26, 2018}}</ref>

{{main|List of U.S. Open (golf) broadcasters}}

Beginning with the [[2020 U.S. Open (golf)|2020 tournament]], [[Golf on NBC|NBC Sports]] holds domestic television rights (with coverage on [[NBC]], [[USA Network]] and [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock)]], having taken over the remainder of the 12-year deal with the USGA signed by [[Fox Sports (United States)|Fox Sports]] in 2013 that gave it exclusive rights to USGA championships from 2015 through 2026. With the postponed 2020 U.S. Open Championship presenting a significant scheduling challenge due to its other fall sports commitments, Fox had held discussions with the USGA over broadcasting the tournament on their cable network [[Fox Sports 1|FS1]] or partnering with NBC. Ultimately, the issues led the network to transfer the final seven years of its contract entirely.<ref name="reacq">{{cite web |last1=Lavner |first1=Ryan |title=NBC reacquires broadcast rights to USGA's full slate of championships |url=https://www.golfchannel.com/news/nbc-reacquires-broadcast-rights-usgas-full-slate-championships |website=Golf Channel |language=en |date=29 June 2020}}</ref><ref name="bc-foxusopen">{{cite web |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/494969-Fox_Sports_Reaches_Rights_Deal_for_Golf_s_U_S_Open.php |title=Fox Sports Reaches Rights Deal for Golf's U.S. Open |last=Baysinger |first=Tim |date=August 7, 2013 |website=Broadcasting & Cable |access-date=August 7, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Fox reportedly asks out of USGA deal; U.S. Open will return to NBC |url=https://awfulannouncing.com/golf/fox-reportedly-asks-out-of-usga-deal-u-s-open-will-return-to-nbc.html |work=Awful Announcing |date=29 June 2020}}</ref> 

In 2020 and 2021, early round NBC cable coverage was carried on [[Golf Channel]]. Beginning with the 2022 tournament this coverage was moved to USA Network, as part of an expansion of its sports programming amid the closure of [[NBCSN]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-02 |title=NBC Sports to move some USGA, R&A golf programming to USA Network |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2021/11/02/nbc-sports-to-move-some-usga-ra-golf-programming-to-usa-network/ |access-date=2022-03-17 |website=Golfweek |language=en-US}}</ref> Golf Channel also presents rolling coverage of the sectional qualifiers, billed as ''Golf's Longest Day''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lerner |first=Drew |date=2025-06-02 |title=As networks cut back on-site presence, Golf Channel flips script on 'Golf's Longest Day' |url=https://awfulannouncing.com/golf/networks-cut-back-on-site-presence-golf-channel-flips-script-golfs-longest-day.html |access-date=2025-06-02 |website=Awful Announcing |language=en-US}}</ref> Beginning with the new contract, the final hour of network coverage for the first and second rounds moved exclusively to Peacock.

Coverage was previously televised by [[Golf Channel on NBC|NBC]] and [[Golf on ESPN|ESPN]] through [[2014 U.S. Open (golf)|2014]]. NBC's first period as rightsholder began in [[1995 U.S. Open (golf)|1995]]; [[PGA Tour on ABC|ABC]] held the broadcast rights from [[1966 U.S. Open (golf)|1966]] through [[1994 U.S. Open (golf)|1994]].<ref name=sylat>{{cite magazine |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1005339/index.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615235215/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1005339/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 15, 2013 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |last=Rosaforte |first=Tim |title=See Ya Later |date=June 27, 1994 |page=49 |access-date=June 12, 2013}}</ref>
