Major championship venues: Future sites for the U.S. Open golf tournament

America's national golf championship is finding permanent homes at several key anchor sites, including Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and more.

The United States Golf Association is making a bold push in scheduling future U.S. Opens with its new philosophy in naming "anchor sites".

The USGA broke the mold in the 1990s by adding more public-access and municipal courses back into the mix. Two of those courses were nearly brand new upon announcement, Chambers Bay and Erin Hills. Both of those super munies are on the outside looking in thanks to the USGA's shift in priorities. The USGA recently announced they are creating a second home in Pinehurst and plan to bring more U.S. Opens to Pinehurst No. 2. Part of that announcement was a commitment to Pinehurst for numerous events through 2047.

In August 2021, the USGA declared Oakmont Country Club its second "anchor site" for its flagship championship. The Pittsburgh area classic will host the event in 2025, 2034, 2042 and 2049. At the same time, the USGA also announced that it will bring the U.S. Open back to Merion Golf Club's East Course in 2030 to mark the 100th anniversary of Bobby Jones completing his Grand Slam there. The Philadelphia-area gem will also host the 2050 U.S. Open.

Pebble Beach has also been granted anchor status, landing U.S. Opens in 2027, 2032, 2037 and 2044. With the calendar filling up, often a decade in advance, competition to land America's national championship has never been more fierce.
