The U.S. Open once again features one of the deepest and most accomplished fields in golf, bringing together major champions, world-ranked stars, rising talents, and qualifiers who earned their place through one of the sport’s most demanding pathways.
Leading the field is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who arrives as one of the tournament favorites alongside Masters champion Rory McIlroy, and defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau.
Scheffler has the opportunity to complete a career Grand Slam, after already winning The Masters (2022 and 2024), PGA Championship (2025), and The Open (2025).
Adding to the storyline, the championship concludes on Father’s Day, which also happens to be Scheffler’s 30th birthday. A victory would not only complete the career Grand Slam, but also give him a memorable way to celebrate both occasions.

Notable Withdrawals From the U.S. Open Field
The championship field took a pair of notable hits before the opening round, as golf star Brooks Koepka and England’s Marco Penge both withdrew from the tournament.
Koepka, a two-time U.S. Open champion and five-time major winner, was originally exempt through his victory at the 2023 PGA Championship.
Penge, meanwhile, earned his place in the field after a breakthrough season on the DP World Tour. The Englishman captured his first DP World Tour title earlier this year and had climbed into contention for one of the strongest seasons of his professional career before opting to withdraw.
“Unfortunately, myself and my team have decided that I am going to have to WD from the U.S. Open, which I’m gutted about,” Penge said. “My health is the no.1 priority for now and until I get to the bottom of the issues I wont be competing. The plan is to return fully fit.
“I have had numerous scans and seen several specialists and we are getting close to resolving the issue that I’ve been struggling with for eight months. I appreciate the continued support as always and I’ll be back soon!”
