A tee time on Thursday at the 2025 U.S. Open was the dream of every one of the 10,202 golfers whose entries the USGA approved back in April. For 156 lucky players, that dream is about to come true.
Each of them set to compete at Oakmont Country Club—from defending champion Bryson DeChambeau to 17-year-old high schooler Mason Howell—followed their own unique road to get to the historic venue hosting the USGA’s marquee championship for a record 10th time. Eighty-seven players were fully exempt into the field, while 32 earned their place via 36 holes of Final Qualifying. Another 16 first advanced through 18 holes of Local Qualifying before successfully navigating Golf’s Longest Day.
The last time a final qualifier won the U.S. Open? Lucas Glover in 2009. Last time a winner made it through local and final? Orville Moody in 1969. (In other words, maybe we’re due?!?)
Fifteen amateurs found their way into the field, and 15 LIV golfers will be teeing it up. Meanwhile, golfers from 26 different countries are competing.
They’ll be facing arguably the toughest course on the USGA’s de facto U.S. Open rota.
According to the @USGA the green speeds for the @usopengolf at Oakmont will be between 14’ 5” and 14’ 9” on the Stimpmeter. The primary rough is dense and uniformed at five inches.

So what’s in store for this year at Oakmont? The USGA released first and second rounds tee times on Tuesday, which we have listed below. In addition to the traditional (U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, Open champion Xander Schauffele and U.S. Amateur champion Josele Ballester are together) the USGA has some of its typically playful threesomes in store for Thursday and Friday. (We like the Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson former U.S. Open champs one in particular.)
