Unlike the PGA Championship and the Open Championship, which allows the low 70 players and ties to play all four rounds, the USGA has a slightly higher bar for its “cut rule,” taking only the low 60 and ties.
Phil Mickelson was among the most popular golfers to miss the cut. Mickelson came into the week as one of the main storylines given his decision to join LIV Golf and the controversy surrounding that tour.
The USGA selects a different golf course each year as the site of its flagship tournament, the U.S. Open. While there is no British Open-style set rotation of courses, there are golf courses to which the U.S. Open periodically returns.
Is the Masters always held in Augusta? Yes. The Masters Tournament is the only men's major golf championship played at the same course every year.
The venue of the US Open Golf Championships changes each year. Most frequent venue is the Oakmont Country Club with 9 opens: in 1927, 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983, 1994, 2007, and 2016 (also to be held there in 2026).
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.
Finally, U.S. Open winners receive automatic invitations to three of the five 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 British Open .
