LOCKS EVERY 10 YEARS

The changed appearance of these courses (Oakmont's extensive tree removal before the 2007 Open and Pinehurst No. 2's grass removal before the 2014 Open) and their willingness to host other USGA championships make these two a certainty.

LOCKS (WITH A CAVEAT) EVERY 10 YEARS

These two are perhaps the most appealing Open sites: the Pacific-Atlantic bookends. So what's the caveat? Getting a signed contract. This process was always difficult with Shinnecock and occasionally an issue with Pebble. Though the USGA flinches at significantly altering financial terms among Open sites, these two are too valuable to lose.

HIGHLY LIKELY EVERY 10-15 YEARS

SOMEWHAT LIKELY EVERY 12-18 YEARS

Big crowds, great weather, hotels contiguous to the golf course, knockout views of the Pacific Ocean. Few get excited about the course, but it's a place that, over the years, has produced great PGA Tour champions and Tiger in the Open.

TO BE DETERMINED,BUT POSSIBLY EVERY 12-18 YEARS

The anticipation for Chambers Bay is high. And I think the course reviews will be good. That said, I wonder how long it will take an Open contestant to channel his inner Dave Hill and complain the USGA has ruined a good gravel pit.

COIN FLIP EVERY 15-25 YEARS

Both of the Hills have been loyal partners over the years. If the USGA doesn't take action on these sites within the next year or so, look for both to ramp up the courting process with the PGA of America, an organization with which both have a history.

MAYBE EVERY 25 YEARS
