The United States Golf Association has tapped two of golf's most storied venues to host future U.S. Opens, with Oakmont Country Club set for 2025 and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club following in 2026. The selections reinforce the USGA's dedication to testing competitors on courses rich in championship pedigree.
"Bringing the U.S. Open Championship to Oakmont for the 10th time in 2025 is testament to the quality of this fine golf course and the longevity of the strong relationship the USGA has with the club," said Diana Murphy, president of the USGA. "It is an honor to make this announcement during the 116th U.S. Open when everyone here can celebrate the Open's return to this iconic course in nine years."
Oakmont's 2025 championship, scheduled for June 12-15, will make history as the Pennsylvania course becomes the first to host 10 U.S. Opens. The legendary layout has witnessed some of golf's most dramatic moments, including Jack Nicklaus' breakthrough professional win in 1962 and Johnny Miller's historic final-round 63 in 1973.
"We are thrilled to host the 2025 U.S. Open," said Ed Stack, president of Oakmont Country Club. "Oakmont and the USGA have had a very special relationship for nearly a century, and we are honored they have chosen Oakmont to host a record 10th U.S. Open in 2025."
The 2026 championship shifts to Long Island's Shinnecock Hills from June 18-21, marking the club's sixth U.S. Open hosting. The course has previously crowned champions including Raymond Floyd, Corey Pavin and Retief Goosen in its four previous Opens dating back to 1896.
"In keeping with our goal of providing the most comprehensive test in championship golf, we are also honored to announce a return to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the 2026 U.S. Open Championship," Murphy said. "Four previous U.S. Opens there have yielded memorable competitions and worthy champions such as Raymond Floyd, Corey Pavin and Retief Goosen. New York metropolitan area golf fans can anticipate another exciting chapter in their region's golf history in 2026."
Shinnecock Hills will make history by becoming the first course to host U.S. Opens across three different centuries when it stages the 2018 championship before returning in 2026. The current William Flynn design, built in 1931, replaced the original 12-hole layout created in 1891 with help from Shinnecock Indian Nation members.
These selections continue the USGA's tradition of rotating its flagship event among America's most demanding courses, ensuring future champions will be tested on layouts that have shaped golf history for generations. Both venues promise to deliver stern challenges that will add new chapters to their already rich legacies.
