June 11 Scottie Scheffler is again favored to win the 2025 U.S. Open, where he says golfers will be tested with the «hardest golf course» they may ever play this week in Oakmont, Pa.
The third major of the season will be held from Thursday through Sunday at Oakmont Country Club. The tournament will air on NBC and USA. Coverage also will be provided on Peacock, NBCSports.com and USOpen.com.
«This is probably the hardest golf course that we will play maybe ever», Scheffler told reporters. «It’s just a different type of test. When you miss the green at the Masters, the ball kinda runs away and it kinda goes in these areas, you can play a bump, you can play a flop. There are different options.
«Here, when you hit the ball over the green and you get in the rough.it’s just a different type of test.»
At just 7,372 yards, the Oakmont Country Club course will be the shortest for a major this season. Sparse trees provide plenty of sight lines, but narrow fairways, inconsistent roughs and bountiful bunkers will challenge the elite, 156-player field.
