NBC Universal, Inc. The stage is set for the Final Round of the US Open, taking place in Brookline, Massachusetts. The course is the same one that set the scene for one of the greatest games in golf history, the 1999 Ryder Cup.
West CourseThe 2020 United States Open Championship was the 120th U.S. Open, held September 17–20 over the West Course at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, a suburb northeast of New York City.
Winged Foot's West Course has hosted the U.S. Open six times and the PGA Championship once. The East Course has hosted the U.S. Women's Open twice and the U.S. Senior Open. Winged Foot Golf Club has also hosted the U.S. Amateur twice; in 2004, the tournament was contested on both courses.
Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., is private. The course for this week's U.S. Open is not open to the public. You need a key to get in.
Beginning with the 2020 tournament, NBCUniversal holds domestic television rights (with coverage on NBC and Golf Channel ), having taken over the remainder of the 12-year deal with the USGA signed by 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 FS1 or partnering with NBC. Ultimately, the issues led the network to transfer the final seven years of its contract entirely.
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.
The British Open rota is a well-established rotation of golf courses, the identities of which are well-known, and it follows some set rules.
But unlike with the R&A and the Open Championship, there are no set rules, no established formula used by the USGA. Plus the USGA is willing to visit courses never used before.
