The US Open is known for high rough and narrow fairways, and the course setup tries to ensure that level par will be a good score, unlike in the PGA Championship, where low scores are commonplace.
It also makes for different betting at top sports betting sites than at the other two majors of the season: the Masters and British Open. The Masters is more predictable because it is held on the same course every year; the British Open's unpredictable weather can make things interesting.
Sometimes, organizers whiff at the US Open—like in 2017, when Brooks Koepka won at 16-under—and sometimes they go too far, like in 2018, when nobody broke par.
Some courses, such as the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Calif., have seen it both ways, with Tiger Woods winning in 2000 at 12-under and Graeme McDowell winning at even-par in 2010 on a layout that had been considerably toughened.
The tournament’s open nature means about half the field gets in through qualifiers. With 156 players, this is a sizeable market, but typically, winners have been among the elite players in the world, a function of how difficult the courses are.
No true longshot has won since 2009, when Lucas Glover became the last qualifier to claim the championship. With few exceptions, the players who win the U.S. Open are at the top of their game.
A fixture on the American golf calendar since the 1890s, the U.S. Open is overseen by the U.S. Golf Association, and any player who meets a registered handicap requirement (now 1.4 or lower) can attempt to qualify. Americans dominated the tournament’s early years, winning every event between 1928 and 1964.
From 1966 to 93, Americans won every year but twice. Modern times have seen a greater diversity of winners, with non-American players winning eight times from 2004 to 2018.
The event is contested on courses known for their difficulty, with par typically reduced to 70, and is sometimes derided for being too punishing. The 18-hole playoff—used most recently in 2008—has been eliminated in favor of a two-hole aggregate.
