Favored Scottie Scheffler, U.S. Open Field Prepare for 'Hardest Course'

The 2025 U.S. Open is set to tee off Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, with a field of 156 players competing for the year's third major championship.
Oakmont Country Club, set to hold the U.S. Open for an unprecedented tenth occasion, features a par-70 layout characterized by tight fairways, extremely fast greens, and five-inch rough that requires exceptional accuracy.
Scottie Scheffler, ranked number one globally and favored after capturing three victories in his last four events—including the PGA Championship and Memorial Tournament—faces strong competition from last year's U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy, who claimed the Masters title earlier this year.
Scheffler described the course as potentially the toughest challenge they will face, noting that staying off the fairways makes it extremely difficult to reach the greens and that the layout will test both the physical endurance and mental focus of the players.
The event will intensify competition as DeChambeau seeks a repeat U.S. Open win and Mickelson, needing a victory to complete the career Grand Slam, possibly makes his last appearance under a five-year exemption.
