The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship takes place on Sunday with three golfers at the top of the leaderboard within one stroke of each other, setting up for a thrilling championship Sunday.

The U.S. Open is not only returning during a year when golf saw its largest Masters audience since 2018 with nearly 20 million viewers, but it's also coming back to one of the most notoriously difficult courses in the nation: the Oakmont Country Club in western Pennsylvania.

It was three years ago this month that the LIV Tour debuted in London with plenty of relevant stars from the PGA Tour making the jump to the big-money tour backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. It was two years ago this month when the PGA Tour and PIF announced a framework agreement that could in some way unite men’s golf again.

U.S. Open Golf Championship begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania in what will be a historic 125th edition of the major championship.

Phil Mickelson was in agreement with a fan page of his that compared one aspect of the PGA Championship with LIV Golf's latest event in Virginia.

So much has happened since the PGA Tour and LIV Golf entered a historic "framework agreement." One thing has not: A deal uniting the two leagues.

Scott O’Neil — the newly installed CEO of the Saudi-backed pro golf league that aims to bring a different, more raucous atmosphere to its events than the rival PGA Tour — said Monday that discussions are underway to return LIV’s team championship event to Michigan in the future.

Bryson DeChambeau gave a significant update on his future with LIV Golf, as his contract with them is close to expiring.

Apparently, there are still a few things money – in this case, nearly a trillion dollars of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund – can’t buy.

Everything indicates that LIV Golf will add its next rising star in the coming hours, as the reigning US Amateur champion is reportedly signing with the league.
