Golf US Open Betting Offers 2025
The second major tournament of the season is being held for the 125th year in 2025. The event, run by the United States Golf Association (USGA), constitutes part of the PGA, Japanese and DP World Tour events and is held in mid-June with the final round to be played on the 3rd Sunday, barring weather issues.
Since 1950 the U.S. Open has only been won by players from 8 other countries excluding the USA. However, from 2001 to 2014 the event was won on 9 occasions by non-US players and in 2021 (John Rahm, Spain) and 2022 (Matt Fitzpatrick, England) both won suggesting the modern tournament is a truly international open.
The 2025 Open will be held at the highly rated Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, established in 1903. The course holds the record for the number of US Open’s hosted, this will be the 10th time and a fitting course for the 125th anniversary. The last time the tournament was held there in 2016 it was won by Dustin Johnson. Famous winners here include Jack Nicklaus (1962) and Ernie Els (1994).

The US Open Format
Qualifying and The Field
The third golf major of the year also acts as an official tour event on the PGA, DP World and Japanese Tours. The US Open has a field of 156 players with around half coming through qualifying and the other half exempt receiving a direct place.
You can receive an exemption for a number of reasons including having been a winner of the US Open in the previous ten years or other major in the last five years.
You will also receive an exemption if you are in the top 60 ranked players in the world. Special exemptions are also given out by the United States Golf Association (USGA).
Players that go through qualifying can enter through two routes. The first route is local qualifying or stage one, this starts with 18 holes placed at more than 100 courses across the US.
Qualifiers from stage one local qualifying then progress to stage two sectional qualifying, this is where most of the rest of the worlds ranked players join. Stage 2 is played at several sites and involves a 36-hole single day game.
Tournament
Unlike the Masters at Augusta the US Open moves course each year preventing players becoming too familiar with the layout. Courses are often chosen that are long with high grass rough areas giving a focus on precision driving. In general US Open courses are rarely beaten with most winners and leaders scoring around par, in fact in the past there have been many over-par wins.
As with all other majors the tournament is played over 72 holes (four rounds of 18) with a cut at 36 holes. All golfers in the top 60 (including ties) make the cut at the US Open, replacing the rule prior to 2012 that all players within 10 strokes made the cut. The first two rounds are played on Thursday and Friday and the final two rounds following the cut are played on Saturday and Sunday.
Play-off
Until recently the US Open was the only major golf tournament to retain a full 18-hole play-off if two are more players are tied for the lead at the end of the final round and was played on the Monday should it happen. This last happened to Tiger Woods in 2008 when he defeated Rocco Mediate at Torrey Pines in California.
In 2018 in a consultation with fans, players and the media it was decided by the Golf Association in the US to make the play-off a two-hole aggregate. If this happens it will be played immediately following the end of the fourth round on the Sunday.
2025 US Open: Oakmont Country Club, Plum, Pennsylvania
The 2025 Open is the 125th since the tournament began in 1895 and for a landmark tournament it is fitting that it will be held at the most used venue in US Open History, Oakmont Country Clun in Plum, Pennsylvania. It will be the 10th time the course has hosted it since its first time un 1927, the other occasions being in; 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2016 and now 2025. It has also hosted the PGA Championship three times, although a while ago; 1922, 1951 and 1978.
The club was also opened in 1903, eight years after the first US Open. It is the only course to have hosted a US Open in every decade since the 1920’s with the exception of the 1940’s. It will maintain that record for years to come too with future US Open’s penned in for 2033, 2042 and 2049 already.
The club was also opened in 1895, the same year as the first US Open, but didn’t host it’s first US Open until 1999. It had hosted the US PGA back in 1936 and the Ryder Cup in 1951 but it was only following hosting the Tour Championship in 1991 and 1992 that the course became seen as a serious Championship course.
The first winner of a US Open here in 1927 was Tommy Armour, now nearly 100 years ago. Since then Sam Parks Jr. (1935), Ben Hogan (1953 – second of three straight majors that year), the legendary Jack Nicklaus (1962 – beating the equally legendary Arnold Palmer), Johnny Miller (1973 – setting a new record US Open low score of the time, 63), Larry Nelson (1983), Ernie Els (1994 – aged 24, the first of 8 majors), Ángel Cabrera (2007) and Dustin Johnson (2016) have all won there.
The course is located a 20 minute drive from Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River, set amongst the green and rich Pennsylvania forest it is an idyllic location to play golf and therefore no surprise it has hosted the US Open the most times. The course is the oldest ranked in the US and was made a National Historic Landmark back in 1987.
Oakmont has just the one 18-hole course but given how good it is why would you need more? It was the only one designed by Henry Fownes and on the basis of how it plays many would wish he had designed more of them. It has few natural obstacles but with 175 bunkers and fast undulating greens it is seen as one of the most challenging in the country. The Church Pews bunker on the 3rd and 4th is roughly 90×40 meters with grass ridges that look a bit like church pews. Needless to say once you are in getting out is not straightforward. There is also a nasty slope to be aware of on the 1st, 3rd, 10th and 12th holes that can catch even the most experienced golfer out.
For the Open a long configuration is used resulting in a decent length of 7,524 yards with a par 70. Prior to the 1950’s it was a links course but then trees were planted, helping to balance weather and wind and so generally favouring consistent players. The longest hole is the par 5 4th at 609 yards and the shortest is the 13th at 831 yards par 3.
I know I’ve banged on about it here but this is a special course and deserving to be the record venue. It is the only course to have been voted in the top 10 every year in the Golf Digest 100 greatest courses in the US. As Arnold Palmer said “You can hit 72 greens in the Open at Oakmont and not come close to winning.”, which is something he knows well have come second to Jack Nicklaus in 1962.

History of The US Open
The US Open was first played back on the 4th October 1885 at the 9-hole Newport County Golf Club in Rhode Island. The tournament in which 11 people entered (10 pros and 1 amateur) was played over 36 holes all played in one day. The event was won by Englishman Horace Rawlins winning $150 from a total prize pool of $335, he also collected a gold medal and the Open Championship Cup Trophy.
The Open went on to be dominated by players from Britain, Willie Anderson from Scotland won the Cup three years on the bounce from 1903-05, a record that still stands to this day. This dominance continued until John McDermott succeeded as the first American winner in 1911. The tide switched quickly and from 1911 until 1993 the US Open was only won 7 times by non-US players.
Bobby Jones was the youngest ever winner in 1923 and won a further three Opens dominating the 1920’s. The Open was suspended from 1941 to 1946 when the USA entered World War II and it was Ben Hogan who became the star of the 40’s and early 50’s again winning four times. Arnold Palmer won his only US Open in 1960 and Jack Nicklaus won his first of four in 1962, in fact Jack holds the record for the most consecutive appearances, 44, between 1957 and 2000.
South African Gary Player became the first non-US player to win for 40 years when he won the crown in 1965 and Englishman Tony Jacklin became the first brit to win since 1925 when he claimed the title in 1970. Hale Irwin hold the record of the largest range between wins winning in 1974, 1979 and then again in 1990.
South African’s won four titles between 1994 and 2004, with two titles each for Ernie Els and Retief Goosen. Tiger Woods won his first of three in 2000 and his last in 2008 and remains the last US player to dominate until now.
The years from 2001 to 2014 saw a far greater diversity of winners with New Zealand’s Michael Campbell (2005), Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy (2006), Argentina’s Angel Carrera (2007), Northern Irishmen Graeme McDowell (2010) and Rory McIlroy (2011), England’s Justin Rose (2013) and Germany’s Martin Kaymer (2014) all picking up titles.
Having said that US players have dominated in recent years with Jordan Spieth winning in 2015 and Dustin Johnson in 2016. The 2017 and 2018 winner Brooks Koepka deserves special mention, becoming only the third man to successfully defend the title since the end of WWII and the first since 1989. Americans Gary Woodland and Bryson DeChambeau won 2019 and 2020 respectively, both with their first major.
Diversity returned, however, in 2021 when Spain’s John Rahm won his first major title and in 2022 when Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick won his first major. Rory McIlroy nearly continued that trend in 2023 but fell short to American Wyndham Clark, the event was notable for the fact that both Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele hit a record 62 in the first round. Bryson followed up his first major win 2024 to get his second, beating Rory McIlroy.
The 2025 edition is sure to be another fantastic year and with so many new great golfers on the scene. In 2020, for example, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Justin Rose and 3 other previous winners missed the cut, this tells you how good the pack is right now.
