The US Open, at a glance
Typically, the US Open is the third major tourney played in the calendar year.
The 2022 US Open will be at Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego, one of the most scenic sites to play golf in the country set atop the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
What makes the US Open stand out from the other big tournaments of the year is the level of difficulty of the courses. Pebble Beach lives up to this reputation as it’s one of the most challenging places to golf in the entire world.
US Open history
This year’s tournament will be the 121st US Open, with the first dating back to 1895. Pebble Beach hosted the Open for the sixth time last year. Torrey Pines will host for the second time and first since the 2008 US Open.
Although there will be some terrific golf played this week, the scores might not indicate that as much as other tournaments. Let’s take a more in-depth look into the 2022 US Open and examine everything you need to know to watch and gamble on this year’s tournament.
US Open structure
The US Open will be played over four days, starting June 17. It will consist of 156 golfers participating on the 7,698-yard course. Torrey Pines has a par of 72, thus making a total par of 288 for the duration of the championship.
All the participants will golf Thursday and Friday, while those fortunate enough to make the cut will finish through the weekend.
The total purse for the major is $12.5 million, which ties with the Players Championship for the largest payout of any PGA Tour event.
