]]> The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, has hosted 17 USGA events since its founding in 1882. On Thursday, the club and the governing body announced four more will come to the historic venue, including a fourth US Open and a first US Women’s Open.

The quartet of future championships include the 2020 US Girls’ Junior, 2034 US Amateur, 2038 US Open and 2045 US Women’s Open.

“This partnership with The Country Club gives juniors, amateurs and professionals alike the opportunity to vie for a USGA championship and etch their names in golfing history at one of the nation’s most iconic venues,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer, in a press release. “We look forward to witnessing the incredible talent and passion that will be on display in the coming years.”

One of the USGA’s five founding member clubs, The Country Club last hosted the US Open in 2022 when Matt Fitzpatrick won the title by a stroke over Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler. The Englishman also won the US Amateur when it was played for the sixth and most recent time there in 2013. Fitzpatrick joined Jack Nicklaus as the only golfer to win a US Amateur and US Open at the same club.

When the US Girls’ Junior is held in 2030 it will mark 80 years since the only previous time the championship has been played at The Country Club.

By hosting the US Women’s Open in 2045, The Country Club will become just the 23rd course to have hosted the men’s and women’s national championship. Fifteen have already done so while another seven will accomplish the feat between now and 2045 before TCC joins them.
