There have been calls for more transparency from golf's governing bodies, the USGA included, in the wake of Rory McIlroy’s driver failing a compliance test at the PGA Championship—and McIlroy’s subsequent annoyance with how the news got into the press.

The beast that is Oakmont Country Club is putting pro golfers through a difficult test at the 2025 U.S. Open. Who's in danger of missing the cut?

The U.S. Open has the largest purse of the four men's major championships, but this year, the number isn't increasing from 2024.

For the last few weeks, USGA CEO Mike Whan has been in "a cave," with little contact with the outside world. Prepping for a major championship can cause you to put day-to-day tasks on hold, such as regularly checking emails.

Oakmont was going to be Oakmont, and the USGA was going to be the USGA. The question was whether Jon Rahm would be Jon Rahm

How has scoring evolved in the U.S. Open in 125s? And does the USGA make the conditions too difficult? It's been a debate for the ages.

The 54-year-old Mickelson has started to confront his golfing mortality. Before last week’s tournament at LIV Virginia, Mickelson also acknowledged that this U.S. Open could be a farewell. “There’s a high likelihood that it will be, but I haven’t really thought about it too much,” Mickelson said last week.

The USGA issued a statement to Channel 11, saying, “The USGA is aware of the congestion experienced yesterday moving fans across the pedestrian bridge over the turnpike, and has made operational adjustments to ease movements between the East and West sides of the course.”

Mickelson made two late double bogeys and missed a 15-foot putt at the last to miss the cut by one in what is likely his final U.S. Open appearance.
