The 126th U.S. Open golf championship is set to take place from June 18-21 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York. Defending champion J.J. Spaun will look to repeat his victory from last year, where he emerged from a crowded pack with two shots that defined his career.

Course and Field

The course, which has a length of 7,440 and a par of 70, will host 156 players, including 19 amateurs. The purse for the event has not been announced, but last year’s total was $21.5 million, with the winner taking home $4.3 million.

The field includes notable players such as Adam Scott, who is playing in his 100th consecutive major, and Scottie Scheffler, who can become the seventh player with a career Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Open.

The event will be televised on USA Network, Peacock, and NBC, with coverage starting at 6:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday and concluding on Sunday.
