USGA Announces U.S. Open Sites
Posted On: July 22, 2015 By :The United States Golf Association has awarded the 2022, 2023, and 2024 U.S. Open Championships to The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, The Los Angeles Country Club in California and Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, respectively.
“We are elated to host our national championship at these three historic venues,” said USGA President Thomas J. O’Toole Jr. “Each one is located in an area where golf and sports are celebrated, and we have already felt tremendous community support. We look forward to the test of golf that each of these classic designs will present to the world’s best players.”
The 2022 U.S. Open, to be held June 16–19, will be the fourth U.S. Open and 17th USGA championship hosted by The Country Club. The venue most recently hosted the 2013 U.S. Amateur, won by Matthew Fitzpatrick, of England.
“The Country Club has a long-standing, valued partnership with the United States Golf Association, so our membership is very excited and proud to have been chosen as the host site of the 2022 U.S. Open,” said Will Fulton, The Country Club’s general chairman for the 2022 U.S. Open. “We have been fortunate to have held 16 USGA events and to have witnessed some of golf’s great moments. Along with our gracious co-hosts, the Town of Brookline, we look forward to welcoming golf fans from New England and around the world.”
The 2023 U.S. Open will be played at The Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course June 15–18. The club will become just the third U.S. Open venue in Southern California, joining The Riviera Country Club in nearby Pacific Palisades (1948) and Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego (2008, 2021). The Los Angeles Country Club is also scheduled to host the 2017 Walker Cup, September 9–10.
“The city loves to host major events,” said John Chulick, club president. “This region, not having hosted the U.S. Open for 75 years, will be ecstatic about this.”
The 2024 U.S. Open, to be held June 13–16 on Pinehurst’s Course No. 2, will mark the fourth U.S. Open and 11th USGA championship at the venue. The U.S. Open’s return to Pinehurst in 2024 will mark the first time in over a century that the USGA has awarded four Opens to a single site in a span of 25 years. Pinehurst is also scheduled to host the 2017 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship and the 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be named as the site for the 2024 U.S. Open,” said Tom Pashley, president of the Pinehurst Resort. “We take great pride in our relationship with the USGA and feel fortunate they have chosen to bring the national championship back to Pinehurst for the fourth time in just 25 years.”
The next U.S. Open will be played June 16–19, 2016, at the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
