When and Where Is the Next US Open? 

The 2026 US Open was held at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York from 18 to 21 June 2026, with Wyndham Clark winning his second US Open title in a dramatic final round. Shinnecock Hills is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States and one of the five charter clubs that formed the USGA in 1894. The 2026 edition was Shinnecock Hills' sixth time hosting the US Open, tying it for third-most among US Open venues.

The 2027 US Open will return to iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Monterey Peninsula in California from Thursday 17 June to Sunday 20 June 2027. It will be the 127th edition of the championship and Pebble Beach's seventh US Open, tying the course with Baltusrol Golf Club for the second-most US Open hostings behind only Oakmont Country Club (10). Pebble Beach last hosted the US Open in 2019, when Gary Woodland claimed his first major championship by three strokes over Brooks Koepka.

2026 US Open Recap: Wyndham Clark Survives Shinnecock

Wyndham Clark withstood one of the most dramatic final rounds in recent US Open history to claim his second Wanamaker Trophy at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday 21 June 2026. The 32-year-old American finished at 4-under par (276) for a one-stroke victory over Sam Burns, who carded a closing 67 to finish at 3-under and post the best finish of his career in a major.

Clark became the ninth wire-to-wire winner in US Open history and the first since 2017, leading from the first round through to the closing tap-in par on the 72nd hole. He started the final round with a six-stroke lead but bogeyed three of his first seven holes to see Burns close to within a single stroke. The defining moment came on the par-5 16th hole: after pulling his tee shot into thick fescue, Clark recovered to the fairway with a remarkable second shot, then sank a 24-foot birdie putt to restore his cushion.

Burns finished alone in second at 3-under, his closing 67 being one of only three under-par rounds at Shinnecock throughout the championship. Tom Kim, who had to qualify after falling outside the world top 140, claimed third place at 1-under in his strongest major showing since the 2023 Open Championship. World number one Scottie Scheffler, playing in the final group on his 30th birthday and looking to take a step toward the career Grand Slam, posted a 1-over 71 to finish well outside the top spots.

The hostile reception Clark received from the gallery was the unexpected storyline of the week, with fans openly rooting for his demise after his locker-smashing incident at the 2025 US Open at Oakmont. Multiple spectators were ejected for heckling, but Clark held his nerve to claim the $4.5 million winner's cheque from the record $22.5 million purse.

The Most Popular Betting Markets for the US Open Golf Championship

Wondering how best to attack the latest US Open golf odds at talkSPORT BET? Below, we’ve recommended some of the most popular US Open betting markets to get your teeth stuck into:

Ante-Post Betting

Our ante-post betting market is open if you fancy taking a futures bet on the 2026 US Open. If your selection doesn’t go on to take part in the event for one reason or another, your bet still stands, so it’s a risky option but a useful one for value-seekers.

Outright Winner

Once the confirmed entrants are announced for the 2026 US Open, you’ll have access to the outright winner market, where you can place bets on individual golfers to win or place in an each-way bet (e.g., top 5 or 10).

Top 5/10 Finish 

If you consider yourself a risk-averse golf bettor, you might be interested in the Top 5 Finish and Top 10 Finish betting markets. These are self-explanatory.

You’ll back a golfer (or multiple golfers) to finish in the top five or ten on the board. This can still be an effective way of finding value in outsiders who may not win the US Open outright but are well in the shake-up during the final round.

To Make the Cut

Another option when backing big outsiders in golf majors like the US Open is to bet on them to make the cut. Do you believe they’re in good form and can impact the competition?

If so, you can back them to start well during the opening two rounds and make the cut for the final two. It could be a safer play than betting on them to finish in the top five or ten.

First Round Leader

If there’s a golfer who’s notorious for coming out of the blocks fast, or you think a player will adjust remarkably well to the type of course, you could bet on them to finish the first round at the top of the US Open leaderboard.

Exploring the History of the US Open Golf Championship

The US Open Golf Championship has stood the test of time as one of the most illustrious events in men's professional golf, well and truly establishing itself as one of the four golf majors.

The championship was founded by the United States Golf Association (USGA), which itself was established in December 1894 by representatives from five charter clubs: Shinnecock Hills, Newport Country Club, The Country Club (Brookline), Saint Andrew's Golf Club (Yonkers), and Chicago Golf Club. Theodore Havemeyer served as the USGA's first president and oversaw the inaugural staging of the championship the following year.

1895 was the year of the first US Open in Rhode Island at the Newport Country Club. It attracted a modest field of just 11 golfers who entered to play for the first prize worth $150. Horace Rawlins, a 21-year-old Englishman, etched his name into the annals of golfing history by emerging victorious.

Since then, the US Open has been a proving ground for some of the world's top players, given that the event is usually staged at some of the most challenging golf courses on the planet. From Pebble Beach and Oakmont to legendary venues like Winged Foot, Pinehurst No. 2 and Shinnecock Hills, the US Open is always a test of skill, stamina and resilience. It's why the championship is known as the "Toughest Test in Golf".

Over the years, the US Open has produced countless moments for the history books, from Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan to Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Recent champions including Brooks Koepka (back-to-back winner in 2017 and 2018), Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau (a two-time champion), J.J. Spaun and the two-time winner Wyndham Clark are testament to the calibre of player required to win the toughest test in golf.

US Open Qualifying

Not all pros get automatic entry to the US Open. The USGA has a rigorous qualification process:

  • Amateurs must have a handicap index of 1.4 or lower to enter local qualifiers.
  • Those who pass the 18-hole local stage progress to the 36-hole final qualifiers.
  • Exemptions are granted across 24 categories, including:
    • Top 10 from the previous US Open
    • Past US Open champions (last 10 years)
    • Winners of the Masters, PGA, and Open Championships (previous 5 years)
    • Top 60 in the OWGR (3 weeks prior)
    • NCAA Division I Men’s Individual Champion
    • Korn Ferry Tour and Latin America Amateur standouts

In 2023, the USGA added four new exemption paths, expanding the field further. LIV Golf players remain eligible to qualify through rankings and performance criteria.

2027 US Open Favourites at Pebble Beach 

Wyndham Clark will return to Pebble Beach in June 2027 as the defending US Open champion, attempting to become only the second player after Brooks Koepka to win back-to-back US Open titles in the modern era. Pebble Beach is no stranger to Clark either, as he has a strong recent record at the venue's PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am event.

Scottie Scheffler will arrive at Pebble Beach looking to complete the next leg of his career Grand Slam after his Masters and PGA Championship wins. The world number one is still seeking his first US Open title and finished outside the top spots at Shinnecock Hills in 2026 despite playing in the final group with Clark. His career Grand Slam quest is one of the dominant storylines of the 2027 major championship season.

Rory McIlroy will be determined to add a second US Open title to his collection, having last won the major at Congressional Country Club in 2011. The Northern Irishman completed his career Grand Slam at the 2025 Masters and successfully defended his Green Jacket in 2026, making him one of the most in-form major championship players heading into the new season.

Other contenders to monitor include 2024 US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau (a power player who suits Pebble Beach), J.J. Spaun (2025 US Open winner), Sam Burns (2026 runner-up), Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Aaron Rai (the 2026 PGA Champion), Cameron Young, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Tom Kim.

The last time Pebble Beach hosted the US Open in 2019, Gary Woodland claimed his first major championship with a three-stroke victory over Brooks Koepka at 13-under par. Earlier Pebble Beach US Open winners include Tiger Woods (2000, by a record 15 strokes), Tom Kite (1992), Tom Watson (1982), and Jack Nicklaus (1972), giving the course one of the strongest champion roll calls in major championship history.
