The US Open is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for June 13-16, 2024, as the legendary Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina is set to host this thrilling major tournament.

Pinehurst No. 2, a course that commands respect, is renowned for its challenging nature. Crafted by Donald Ross and enhanced by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, it’s famous for its demanding turtleback greens. These greens challenge even the most skilled players, requiring a masterful short game for a good score. With its sandy waste areas and minimal roughness, the course demands precision and strategic play.

US Open lineup

The lineup of players for the US Open is a testament to the tournament’s prestige. It mixes seasoned pros, past champions, and promising new talent. The competition to secure a spot in the US Open is fierce, with players earning their place through rankings, past performances, and regional tournaments. The spotlight will be on last year’s champion, Wyndham Clark, as he defends his title, the world number one Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, and the legendary Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods, a fifteen-time major champion, has accepted a special exemption to participate in the US Open. Woods, who has won this open thrice, last took home the trophy in 2008. His return adds even more excitement to an already star-studded event, as golf lovers are eager to see if the legendary golfer can recapture some of his past magic on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

For fans, the US Open is always a thrill. The coverage will be extensive, whether you’re lucky enough to be there in person or catch it on TV. Major sports networks and online streaming platforms will ensure you take advantage of every moment of the action.

In short, the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 will be an epic showdown. With its challenging course and top-tier players, it’s set to be a highlight of the golfing year. Get ready for some unforgettable golf!
