We’ve witnessed some magical moments already at two of the standout golfing events of the year. Rory McIlroy’s enthralling Masters victory in April, which saw him finally clinch the career grand slam, was momentous. While the Irish swinger did it the hard way, needing a playoff to claim the title at Augusta, Scottie Scheffler strolled to a 5-shot success when winning the PGA Championship in Charlotte last month. That’s two Majors down and two to go. We head to the Oakmont Country Club this month (June 12-15) for the third chapter of the 2025 Major storybook, with yet more drama and excitement to come.
The U.S. Open returns to the Oakmont Country Club for a record-breaking tenth occasion this year. Last time the prestigious tournament graced the Pennsylvanian course in 2016, Dustin Johnson took the title. Other golfing greats to land the U.S Open at Oakmont include Angel Cabrera (2007), Ernie Els (994), Jack Nicklaus (1962) and Ben Hogan (1953). You have to go back almost a century, and the first U.S Open edition held at Oakmont for the only British winner at the course. Scottish-born Tommy Armour, who would become an American citizen in 1942, clinched a nervy playoff win in 1927.
The Brits have performed much better when the U.S. Open has been staged elsewhere in recent times, though. Graeme McDowell’s 2010 success at Pebble Beach finally ended a 40-year wait for a win, and there have been three other British victors since then, Rory McIlroy (2011), Justin Rose (2013) and Matt Fitzpatrick (2022). McIlroy went very close to adding to his U.S. Open tally in both previous campaigns, finishing just one shot adrift of both 2023 & 2024 winners, Wyndham Clark & Bryson DeChambeau.
The top-2 ranked golfers in the world came out on top in the opening two Majors of the year. Will the high-flyers dominate again, or are you expecting a shock result this time? Let GOAL show you everything you need to know for this year’s U.S. Open at Oakmont, including how you can watch or stream all the action live.

The Oakmont Country Club is staging the U.S. Open for a record 10th time. The course in Pennsylvania was established in 1903 and is regarded as the ‘oldest top-ranked golf course in the United States’. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
