With the 2025 U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club approaching, let’s just say that the pros better practice extensively on shots in the deep rough.
The 2025 U.S. Open will run from June 12-15 at the Oakmont Country Club, located in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. This year marks the 10th time that Oakmont hosts the major tournament.
The PGA usually chooses an extra challenging course for the U.S. Open, with many winners shooting over par or even. Last year’s winner, Bryson DeChambeau, shot six-under at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
A video of a golfer testing the rough at the Oakmont Country Club has quickly gone viral. Not to be captain obvious here, but the U.S. Open participants would make their lives a lot easier if they avoided the rough and kept the ball straight into the fairways:

Many of the chosen courses for the U.S. Open tournament have high rough, so who knows how much they’ll actually trim the grass there before the event kicks off in three weeks?
The 2025 U.S. Open is the third major on the PGA calendar. Rory McIlroy won the Masters last month to complete the golf grand slam, while Scottie Scheffler claimed the PGA Championship decisively at the Quail Hollow Club.

Who Are The Favorites To Win The 2025 U.S. Open?
As the world’s top golfer, Scottie Scheffler is the consensus betting favorite to win the 2025 U.S. Open. The aforementioned McIlroy and DeChambeau (tied for second at the PGA Championship) figure to be in the mix as well.
LIV golfer Brooks Koepka won back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 2018 and 2019, so don’t sleep on him even though his game has declined over the past year. 2021 U.S. Open and 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm had to withdraw from last year’s tournament because of injury, but he figures to be in contention again this year.
