Who will win the 2025 U.S. Open? Here's who our experts are predicting to win the trophy at Oakmont Country Club.

McIlroy has been the nearly man of late at the U.S. Open, finishing runner-up the last two years, including squandering a two-shot lead with four holes to go last year, and hasn’t been outside the top 10 in his last six starts at the U.S. Open. How will he overcome his Masters hangover?

Much of the chatter about Oakmont this week has been about how difficult it's going to play. But there is still reason for optimism. For some.

OAKMONT, Pa. — The shot doesn’t matter. It could be on the driving range, the first tee box or the 18th fairway — a quiet practice round at home or the Sunday of a major championship. Scottie Scheffler doesn’t go off-script.

Oakmont is relentless,” said the man who sets up the course for the toughest test in golf. “It’s a grind. That’s the US Open.”

The rough at Oakmont Country Club for the U.S. Open is going viral because of how easy it is to lose balls in the grass. Here are the best reactions.

U.S. Open officials say they don’t try to protect par, and Oakmont – which prides itself on being the toughest test in golf – usually does that for them.

After dominating the 2024 season, Scottie Scheffler got off to a slow start relative to expectations in 2025. A ravioli-making incident around Christmas cost him a few months, and he didn't pick up his first win of the year until May, watching as Rory McIlroy surged to three wins and the career grand slam to become the talk of the golf world.
