The 2026 U.S. Open returns to historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, marking the sixth time the iconic venue has hosted the championship. Organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA), the tournament brings together a 156-player field featuring the world’s top professionals and amateurs competing for one of golf’s most prestigious titles.
Defending champion J.J. Spaun headlines the field as he returns to defend the trophy he won in 2025. Other major names expected to compete include world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Masters champion Rory McIlroy, PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai and two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. The championship also marks another historic chapter for Shinnecock Hills, which remains the only club to host the U.S. Open across three different centuries.

Shinnecock Hills Hosts Another Historic Championship
Shinnecock Hills remains one of the most significant venues in American golf history. Founded in 1891, the club is one of the five founding members of the USGA.
The course previously hosted U.S. Opens in 1896, 1986, 1995, 2004 and 2018, when Brooks Koepka captured his second consecutive championship. The 2026 edition adds another chapter to that legacy.
This year’s championship also carries added significance, as Shinnecock Hills becomes the only club to host the U.S. Open in three different centuries.
With a world-class field, extensive television and streaming coverage, and one of golf’s most historic venues, fans will have multiple ways to follow every shot from the opening tee ball through Sunday’s final putt at the 126th U.S. Open.
