The US Open gets underway today as 156 of the best players in the world gear up for a brutal golfing examination at Oakmont Country Club.
Famed as ‘golf’s toughest test’, this week’s US Open could well provide one of the most gruelling layouts in recent years.
Fast greens, five-inch deep rough and a 300-yard par three are just some of the challenges awaiting players this week.
Returning to defend the championship is LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, who won last year’s tournament over Rory McIlroy in dramatic fashion.
But the American will have to come through a stacked field if he is to become a three-time US Open champion, with World No.1 Scottie Scheffler in fine form, having won three of his last four tournaments.
Elsewhere, McIlroy will seek to exorcise his demons after a near-miss 12 months ago, but the Masters champion arrives this week in questionable form after his worst performance of the year at the Canadian Open.
Ahead of the first round, here is everything you need to know, including the tee times, TV schedule, start time, odds, and how to watch and stream in the UK.
