Brookline is back for US Open, LA North gets first shot

The Country Club has hosted the U.S. Open on three prior occasions, notably in 1913 when unheralded amateur Francis Ouimet won.

The United States Golf Association has made official what most people around Southern California and golf have known for some time: the men’s U.S. Open golf championship will be played in Southern California twice in the next eight years.

The USGA have confirmed the host courses of the 2022, 2023 and 2024 U.S. Open tournaments.

This will be Pinehurst’s fourth US Open, Los Angeles’ first and Brookline’s fifth. “It will be a wide U.S. Open”.

Pinehurst No. 2 hosted the historic back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships in June 2014.

The US Open returns in 2024.

The USGA chose the historic venue for the 2022 Open. Pinehurst was responsible for restoring the area in 2014, which cost the village around $100,000, according to Batton.

The Country Club in Brookline, founded in 1882 and the venue for the 1999 Ryder Cup, last held the U.S. Open in 1988 when American Curtis odd claimed the title.

‘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 Country Club also hosted the U.S. Open in 1963, won by Julius Boros in a playoff against Jacky Cupit and Arnold Palmer.

The USGA’s announcement Wednesday also put the Open at the Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course in 2023. The USGA did not mention whether it will try another doubleheader.

That’s as far out as the U.S. Open is planned, and even nine years out is a long time for typical USGA planning.

The 2016 U.S. Open will be played June 16-19 at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. He noted the USGA typically makes an announcement on a U.S. Women’s Open site about two years after its U.S. Open selection, but added, “We’ve had no conversations at this point”.

The East Coast-West Coast rotation will start at Shinnecock Hills in New York in 2018 before moving to Pebble Beach (2019), Winged Foot (2020), Torrey Pines (2021), The Country Club (2022), Los Angeles Country Club (2023) and Pinehurst (2024). This course will hopefully be one of the newest gems for the world of golf. It serves as a primary steward for the game’s history and invests in the development of the game through the delivery of its services and its ongoing “For the Good of the Game” grants program.
