The U.S. Open is the annual open national sports championship of golf in the United States. And now is the third of the four men’s major golf championships that recognized by both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. Because since 1898, the competition has been 72 holes of stroke play (4 rounds on an 18-hole course), with the winner being the player with the lowest total number of strokes. The U.S. Open is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in mid-June, and it is known for its challenging courses and emphasis on accurate driving. As of 2023, the U.S. Open awards a $20 million purse, making it the largest of all four major championships.
