The U.S. Open returns to Pebble Beach for the first time since 2010 and the sixth time in the national championship’s history, having also previously hosted the Open in 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2000. The picturesque course on the Monterey Peninsula is one of eight venues to host five or more U.S. Opens, and it will also become one of three venues (joining Oakmont and Baltusrol to host seven or more when the USGA returns in 2027.

As always, the field will be among the strongest of any professional golf event there is. Arguably the most dramatic storyline will be whether Brooks Koepka can win the championship for a third straight year. Just one other golfer—Willie Anderson in 1903-05—has ever accomplished that feat. (Ben Hogan won three in a row in three straight championships that he entered, 1948, 1950 and 1951, after having to miss the 1949 Open due to injuries from the famous auto accident that nearly ended his career.) If Koepka were to win the Open for a third time, he’d become only the seventh player to win it that many times joining Anderson, Bobby Jones, Hogan and Jack Nicklaus (four wins each) and Hale Irwin and Tiger Woods (three wins).

Below are the tee times for first (Thursday, June 13) and second (Friday, June 14) rounds. The course will be playing 7,075 yards and to a par of 71.

The U.S. Open is a 72-hole, stroke-play competition. A field of 156 players will play 18 holes of stroke play (the last remaining spots will be filled after this weekend), after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties. Those players making the cut will play 18 holes on Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16. If there is a tie upon the completion of 72 holes, a two-hole aggregate playoff will immediately follow. If this playoff results in a tie, the tied players will immediately continue to play off hole-by-hole until the winner is determined.

Players will be competing for a $12.5 million purse with the winner earning $2.25 million.
