The 2024 PGA Tour continues to wind its way onward from course to course, but with the PGA Championship in the rearview mirror, all eyes will be on the next major of the campaign as the 2024 U.S. Open Championship arrives on the scene.
Returning to Pinehurst No. 2 for the fourth time in its history, the event will deliver what may be the last major shake-up to the field ahead of a handful of events across the Atlantic, including the 2024 Open Championship in Scotland.
Last year’s victor Wyndham Clark will have one eye on making it back-to-back wins following his triumph at the Los Angeles Country Club, but standing in his way are a slew of other heavyweights looking to bolster their reputations, including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, fresh from a first career major.
The sad passing of two-time tour winner Grayson Murray will also cast a lingering shadow over proceedings, and several of his friends and colleagues will likely seek to pay tribute to the golfer’s memory with their performances in North Carolina.
It’s all shaping up to be another terrific tournament, but when does it take place? Where will it unfold? How can you catch all the action? Below, GOAL brings you our guide to the 2024 U.S. Open Championship.
When is the 2024 U.S. Open Championship?
Getty ImagesThe 2024 U.S. Open Championship will be held between Thursday, June 13, and Sunday, June 16. It is the third major of the season after the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship.
It marks the final major on American soil of the year before players descend upon the United Kingdom for The Open Championship in mid-July, which is set to be held at Royal Troon Golf Club this year.
The U.S. Open Championship is traditionally held closest to Father’s Day in North America and typically falls around the middle of June, before the start of summertime in the Northern Hemisphere.
Where will the 2024 U.S. Open Championship be played?
Getty ImagesThe 2024 U.S. Open Championship will be played at Pinehurst Resort, located in the village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, United States. The location, home to nine 18-hole courses, is widely regarded as one of the best in the United States for golf aficionados.
This will mark the fourth visit to Pinehurst for the U.S. Open, having initially been held there for the first time in 1999 and then again in 2005 and 2014. However, there will not be a decade-plus wait for a return after this year, with the venue also set to host in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047, as part of a deal with the USGA designating it as an “anchor site”.
Specifically, the U.S. Open will be held on Pinehurst No. 2, which has hosted all three prior iterations of the event. Designed by Donald Ross and first opened in 1907, it has also hosted the 1951 Ryder Cup and multiple other large-scale tournaments over the decades.
