Every LIV golfer that has qualified for the 2025 PGA U.S. Open
The 2025 U.S. Open will feature a number of LIV Golf players competing alongside the game's top talent at Oakmont. With LIV golfers continuing to earn spots in major championships, several familiar names from the league are part of this year's field. Here's a look at the LIV Golf players set to compete in the U.S. Open. LIV Golf Players at U.S. Open Richard Bland Bland earned his spot in the 2025 U.S. Open by winning the U.S. Senior Open. The English veteran has found success on both the European and senior circuits and now looks to make an impact at Oakmont. Bryson DeChambeau DeChambeau won the 2020 and 2024 U.S. Opens and secured his spot this year by finishing among the top 10 scorers at the 2024 U.S. Open and ranking inside the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of May 19. Known for his power and scientific approach to the game, he remains a major threat in any U.S. Open setup. Tyrrell Hatton Hatton qualified by being inside the top 60 in the OWGR as of May 19. The fiery Englishman has been a consistent presence in majors and brings both experience and intensity to the field. Dustin Johnson Johnson earned his exemption through past major victories, including the 2016 U.S. Open and the 2020 Masters. The two-time major champion is always a contender when the stakes are high. Brooks Koepka Koepka qualified as a past winner of the U.S. Open (2017, 2018) and the PGA Championship (2023). With five majors to his name, he's one of the most accomplished players in the field. Jinichiro Kozuma Kozuma claimed one of three spots at the Final Qualifier held at Tarao Country Club in Japan on May 19, earning his place by winning a four-man playoff for third. He'll be making a rare U.S. Open appearance. Marc Leishman Leishman earned one of four available spots at the Final Qualifier at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland, on June 2. He advanced by surviving a three-man playoff for the final two places. Phil Mickelson Mickelson qualified by virtue of his 2021 PGA Championship win. A six-time U.S. Open runner-up, this event remains the one major missing from his résumé. Joaquin Niemann Niemann earned entry as one of the top three players in the 2025 LIV Golf Individual Standings not otherwise exempt as of May 19. The Chilean star is still seeking his first major breakthrough. Carlos Ortiz Ortiz finished tied for fourth with rounds of 66-68 at the Dallas Final Qualifier to earn one of seven U.S. Open spots. He's playing some of his best golf heading into Oakmont. Jon Rahm Rahm is in the field as the 2021 U.S. Open champion and 2023 Masters winner. One of the most consistent major performers in recent years, Rahm is always a threat. Patrick Reed Reed qualified through his position inside the top 60 of the OWGR as of May 19. The 2018 Masters champion is known for his short game and competitive fire. Cameron Smith Smith earned his exemption as the 2022 Open Championship winner. The Australian has contended in multiple majors and brings a strong all-around game to Oakmont. recommended Get more from LIV Golf Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more in this topic

LIV golfers at 2025 US Open: Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and more join field
The PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) have long been attempting to negotiate a deal to reunify men's professional golf. Thus far, those efforts have fallen short. Because of this, the world's top players remain separated across two circuits – the PGA Tour and LIV Golf – and rarely compete against one another. However, there is notable crossover between the two leagues at most of golf's major events. That will include the 2025 U.S. Open, where several LIV Golf players have qualified to be a part of the 156-golfer field. LIV Golf is notably sending seven major-winning golfers to compete for the U.S. Open Championship Trophy at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. That includes two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and six-time major champion Phil Mickelson. Here's a look at the full list of LIV Golfers competing at the 2025 U.S. Open: LIV Golfers at 2025 U.S. Open A total of 14 LIV Golf players are set to compete at the 2025 U.S. Open: Jose Luis "Josele" Ballester Richard Bland Bryson DeChambeau Tyrrell Hatton Dustin Johnson Brooks Koepka Jinichiro Kozuma Marc Leishman Phil Mickelson Joaquin Niemann Carlos Ortiz Jon Rahm Patrick Reed Cameron Smith Of the group, three – Kozuma, Leishman and Ortiz – won qualifying tournaments to earn the right to play in the major tournament. Six – DeChambeau, Johnson, Koepka, Mickelson, Rahm and Smith – qualified because they had won a U.S. Open within the last 10 years or another major event within the last five. The remaining five had more unique paths to a spot in the field. Hatton and Reed are both in the top 60 of the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) which got them into the field. Meanwhile, Bland won the 2025 U.S. Senior Open to qualify while Ballester – who recently joined LIV Golf and made his debut at the circuit's Virginia event – did the same by winning 2024 U.S. Amateur. Finally, Niemann earned a new exemption awarded by the USGA – the governing body of the U.S. Open – "to the top player who is not otherwise exempt and in the top 3 of the 2025 LIV Golf Individual Standings as of May 19, 2025." Niemann earned that honor having won three of seven LIV Golf events in which he participated ahead of the May 19 deadline. The biggest stories, every morning.

Bubba Watson among 7 LIV golfers to WD from U.S. Open qualifier
Bubba Watson was one of seven players tied to LIV Golf that opted to withdraw from a U.S. Open final qualifying site on Monday in Rockville, Md. Monday is the final day of U.S. Open qualifying, often billed as "the longest day in golf," as players at 10 sites across North America play 36 holes to compete for the final spots in the major championship field. A number of LIV Golf members signed up to play at the Woodmont Country Club qualifying site before the league plays outside Washington, D.C., later this week. Watson opted not to move forward with the qualifier, joined by Ben Campbell of New Zealand, David Puig of Spain, Matt Jones of Australia, Thomas Pieters of Belgium and Englishman Lee Westwood. Additionally, Australia's Wade Ormsby, a reserve who has appeared in two LIV events in 2025, dropped out. Not all LIV players decided to skip out, of course. Marc Leishman of Australia shot a 1-under-par 70 in his first 18 holes. Brendan Steele and India's Anirban Lahiri were in the mix after even-par 71s. However, only the top four players at the site will qualify for the major, slated for June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club outside Pittsburgh. Several of LIV's most prominent players are already in the U.S. Open field. Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Spaniard Jon Rahm are invited as U.S. Open winners from the past 10 years; DeChambeau is the defending champion. Englishman Richard Bland was invited after winning the 2024 U.S. Senior Open. A pair of other recent major winners Phil Mickelson and Cameron Smith are exempt as well. Sergio Garcia of Spain fell one stroke shy of a playoff at a final qualifying site last month in Dallas. Field Level Media

The words fun, unique and beautiful are music to this architect's ear
The words fun, unique and beautiful are music to this architect's ear Golf course architect Jay Blasi has one main objective for any project. 'The goal that I would have is that if a golfer comes off the golf course, I would love to hear three adjectives come out of their mouth: That was a ton of fun, that was really unique and that was really beautiful,' said Blasi, who grew up in Wisconsin and now lives in California. 'The highest compliment you can ever have is if somebody comes off the 18th green and they want to go again – let me back out there, I can't wait to go back there again.' Blasi worked for years for architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. before hanging his own shingle. His work with Jones included Chambers Bay in Washington, site of the 2015 U.S. Open, and SentryWorld in Wisconsin, site of the 2023 U.S. Senior Open. His builds as lead architect include the highly ranked Santa Ana Country Club in California. He recently renovated Lakeside Country Club in Houston, then shifted focus back to California to complete extensive renovations of Golden Gate Park's short course and the 18-hole Poppy Ridge. Blasi also works as a frequent host to Golfweek's Best raters at courses around the world. Poppy Ridge, in particular, could serve as a boost in showing Blasi's work to the world. He took a tired existing course owned by the California Golf Association and breathed new life into a spectacular site with an entirely new layout that does some 50,000 public-access rounds a year. 'When I had the opportunity to go out and see the site, I fell in love with the property and firmly believed that the property was special enough to give us the opportunity to craft a golf course that would stand up amongst the very best in California and beyond,' Blasi said of Poppy Ridge, which officially opens May 31. 'I think we did it. I'm really excited about this.' Click here to read much more about Blasi's work at Poppy Ridge and to watch a video of him discussing the project.
